Hyundai has officially announced the two latest versions for the Tucson SUV line. New models include the Tucsons N Line and Plug-In Hybrid. Both new versions of the Tucson would be made in Korea, and the N-line will be available this spring. The plug-in hybrid model will be available this summer.
According to Hyundai, the Tucson N Line was developed to appeal to avid buyers. It has more aggressive parents both outside and inside with motorsport-inspired details. N Line vehicles have SEL and comfort packages as well as special N Line front and rear bumper covers, a radiator grille, black headlight covers, a special fender badge, unique 19-inch wheels, black side mirrors, a double exhaust and a special rear spoiler. N Line Tucson models use the same powertrain as other models in the vehicle line.
The interior features leather and fabric seating surfaces with red accents on the seats and door panels. Buyers also get metal pedals and door sills, as well as the Bose premium audio system. The plug-in hybrid version of the Tucson has an estimated 261 horsepower from a 1.6-liter, direct-injection, turbocharged hybrid powertrain that uses a six-speed automatic transmission.
According to Hyundai, the plug-in hybrid version has a larger battery than the standard hybrid version with an output of 13.8 kWh. The estimated all-electric range is 32 miles and the vehicle has an estimated fuel economy of 70 MPGe.

The estimated fuel economy for the all-wheel drive version is 30 MPG, and the plug-in hybrid can tow 2000 pounds. The official price for both new versions of the vehicle is currently unknown.
