Hyundai Motor presents the all-new TUCSON N Line at Paris Motor Show

Paris, October 12, 2026 – Less than two weeks after the world premiere of the all-new TUCSON, Hyundai Motor is adding an even more dynamic dimension to its bold SUV. The all-new TUCSON N Line combines the comfort, practicality, connectivity and advanced technologies of the new generation with a distinctly sportier appearance inside and out.

With its dedicated N Line exterior package, model-exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels and performance-inspired interior details, the all-new TUCSON N Line brings a sporty visual character to the model range while retaining the versatility and everyday usability of the TUCSON. Its design builds on the muscular proportions and bold SUV character of Hyundai Motor’s ‘Art of Steel’ design language.

Full choice of powertrains

The all-new TUCSON N Line is available with the same broad powertrain portfolio as the wider TUCSON range, allowing customers to combine its sportier design with the propulsion concept that best suits their needs. A 110 kW / 150 PS 1.6 T-GDi petrol version drives the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the hybrid version mates a 1.6 T-GDi engine with a 1.49 kWh battery delivering a combined maximum output of 175 kW / 245 PS. It is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and is available in front- or all-wheel drive.

Plug-in hybrid variants follow later and will also be offered with front- or all-wheel drive. Their 17.1 kWh battery provides an electric driving range of up to 67 kilometres in combination with the N-Line's 20-inch wheels, while total system output reaches 212 kW / 292 PS.

“With the all-new TUCSON N Line, we are giving our bold SUV an even more dynamic and distinctive character. Its sportier exterior and refined interior design add a new dimension of expression and individuality, while retaining the versatility and everyday usability that define the all-new TUCSON. This new version broadens the appeal of the model and offers customers an exciting additional choice within our growing European line-up.”

Key highlights of the all-new TUCSON N Line

How does the all-new TUCSON N Line differ visually from the standard model?

The all-new TUCSON N Line gives the new SUV a dynamic and expressive appearance through a dedicated N Line exterior package. Model-exclusive design details sharpen the vehicle’s muscular character, while 20-inch alloy wheels reinforce its athletic stance. The N Line treatment builds on the strong visual foundation of the all-new TUCSON, including its muscular fenders, crisp body lines, H-Edge lighting and sculptural Prism Rear Lamp.

Which exterior features give the all-new TUCSON N Line its sportier look?

Several N Line-specific details distinguish the model from the other versions. The dedicated exterior package introduces performance-inspired styling elements such as a more angular front bumper with a pronounced chin spoiler and aero ducts at the edges finished in distinct satin black; matching muscular side skirts and body coloured lower door trims; gloss black door mirrors and complementary gloss-black C-pillar inserts; a purposeful rear bumper with body-coloured diffuser-effect inserts; twin exhaust outlets enhanced with sporty brightwork; model-exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels and striking N Line badges on front fascia, and front wings. Combined, these features create a lower, sharper and more purposeful visual character without changing the fundamental proportions and bold SUV identity of the all-new TUCSON.

What is different about the interior of the all-new TUCSON N Line?

The cabin creates a darker and more focused atmosphere. An N Line exclusive Black Monotone interior is combined with contrasting red accents on the seats (trimmed in sporty textile-suede in combination with leather), doors and dashboard. The N steering wheel with perforated leather hand grips, red stitching and dark metal enhance the sporty feel of the cabin, augmented by contrasting bright metal pedals, footrest and N line kick-plates. Together, these elements give the interior a more dynamic character while retaining the spacious and practical architecture of the standard model.

Does the all-new TUCSON N Line have special seats and materials?

Yes. The dedicated N Line interior package includes leather and textile suede seats with contrasting red stitching, providing a distinctive appearance, tactile character and enhanced cornering support. Upgraded door trims, with red stitching and black speaker covers, and metal pedals further reinforce the performance-inspired theme, as does the N steering wheel with perforated leather on key touchpoints, red stitching and dark metal inserts.

Does the sportier design come at the expense of comfort or practicality?

No. The all-new TUCSON N Line retains the comfort, connectivity and practical features available across the all-new TUCSON range. These include a flexible 4:2:4 split-folding rear bench with a 150 mm sliding function, dual 15 W Qi 2.0 wireless smartphone charging and, depending on specification, comfort technologies such as the driver’s Ergo Motion Seat, driver and passenger Relaxation Comfort Seats and Multi-Air Mode climate control. Second-row passengers also benefit from two 100 W USB-C ports for high-power mobile device charging.

Pleos Connect, based on Android Automotive OS, integrates infotainment, vehicle functions, compatible apps and connected services with the larger 17-inch display as standard. The AI-enhanced voice recognition system’ can access live data from the internet, while over-the-air software updates allow selected systems and infotainment functions to evolve remotely. The all-new TUCSON is also available with a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system and interactive ambient lighting with Smart Mood Lamp.

Is the all-new TUCSON N Line a separate performance model?

The focus of the all-new TUCSON N Line is primarily on design rather than on creating a separate high-performance derivative. It combines the technology, versatility and powertrain range of the all-new TUCSON with a more expressive, performance-inspired exterior and interior treatment. This makes it particularly suitable for customers who want a noticeably sportier appearance without sacrificing everyday usability.

Who is the all-new TUCSON N Line designed for?

The all-new TUCSON N Line is aimed at customers who value the practicality and advanced technologies of the all-new TUCSON but prefer a more distinctive and athletic design. Its model-exclusive exterior details, 20-inch alloy wheels, darker interior treatment, leather and textile-suede seats and red accents create a visibly sportier character while preserving the core strengths of the all-new TUCSON SUV.
