Hyundai reveals the updated Tucson N Line for 2024

Back in November, Hyundai unveiled the refreshed 2024 Tucson. If looked at only from the outside, we wouldn’t fault you for saying that nothing has changed exterior-wise for the Tucson—however, most of Hyundai’s efforts were put into restyling the interior. As a result, the 2024 Tucson now looks like an entirely new car from the inside. 

If we’re being honest, the exterior of the Tucson looks great already so revamping the interior just adds to the value of the crossover. This December, news has come that the N Line variant will be available for the updated Tucson. This was confirmed by a set of images released by Hyundai of the N Line Tucson.

From the exterior image provided by the automaker, it is evident that the upgraded Tucson N Line will feature a more stylish grille adorned with black accents, coupled with a radical revision to the front bumper in contrast to the standard versions. The N Line version shares the same discrete updates on the headlights as the standard Tucson, as well as the sharper cut on the piece of trim separating the grille and the fog light housing. Exclusive to the N Line Tucson aside from the redesigned front grille are massive 19-inch alloy wheels. 

Inside, we see a shift toward a more traditional layout, featuring conventional buttons inside the crossover. In addition, the gear selector has been repositioned to the steering wheel column while the dual 12.3-inch screens take after recent Hyundai models. For the N Line version, there are some additional sporty touches, exclusive upholstery, and “N” badges placed throughout the cabin. The Tucson N Line also features red ambient lighting in the interior to add another level of sportiness.

Powertrain options aren’t confirmed yet but we can expect Hyundai to fit any of the following options inside its sporty crossover. Options include the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission or a 1.6-liter turbo engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. A 2.0-liter diesel engine is also available for the Tucson, but, considering that the N Line trim is angled towards sportiness, this engine option might be left in the parts bin.

The Hyundai Tucson launched in the Philippines back in 2022 so it’s still relatively fresh here. Since the updated version is already here though, there’s a possibility that Hyundai will bring in the facelifted version soon, hopefully, with the N Line version in tow.
