2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON N-LINE HYBRID

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson N-Line Hybrid is presented as a significant upgrade, particularly for those seeking a sportier SUV with improved efficiency. The reviewer highlights the addition of hybrid technology as a key differentiator, boosting both horsepower (226 hp) and torque (258 lb-ft) over the previous gas-only N-Line, while also achieving an impressive 37 MPG combined. The exterior design, especially in Serenity White Pearl, is praised for its sharp lines and N-Line specific accents. Inside, the sporty N-Line seats with red stitching and ambient lighting are noted as attractive features. The infotainment system, while functional with a 10.25-inch display and wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, is acknowledged as not being the latest generation. The reviewer found the handling to be composed and confident, with good feedback from the steering, and appreciated the smooth six-speed automatic transmission. The primary criticism is the lack of a heated steering wheel and the wired connectivity for smartphone integration, though the overall value proposition under $40,000 is strongly emphasized, making it a compelling option in its segment.
