Hyundai Tucson

The 2021 Hyundai Tucson N Line has been unveiled, offering buyers a sporty exterior and interior inspired by the company's 'N' performance arm. The changes are predominantly cosmetic, with Hyundai adding deeper front and rear bumpers to the Tucson N Line, as well as a marginally taller and wider grille than on the standard model – with the 'parametric jewel patterns' gaining additional edges to create more elaborate reflections.

UPDATE: The 2021 Hyundai Tucson has now been revealed. See our full story here. Information has leaked about a new Hyundai Tucson N, outlining possible performance figures for a model few enthusiasts saw coming. According to images released on Korean website Autospy, the Hyundai Tucson N will use a 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 213kW and 422Nm. The transmission is likely to be an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with all-wheel drive.

Beijing Hyundai has revealed a China-specific version of the Tucson SUV, which gets unique styling and features compared to the global version offered in markets like Australia. The Korean-Chinese joint venture is pitching the vehicle as a "fourth generation" model, though it appears the '2020' Tucson for China is merely a reskinned version of the car currently on sale.

The next-generation Hyundai Tucson has been photographed doing a bit of hot weather testing in Europe. As with the recent Hyundai crossovers, such as the Kona and Palisade, the next-generation Tucson looks as though it will feature a thin high-mounted set of LED driving lights with the main and high beam lights hidden lower down the fascia. We're not sure if the prominent grille, inspired by the HDC-2 Grandmaster concept, will make it through to the production car or is a deliberate ruse.
