Hyundai Tucson Highlander N-Line 2022 Review

Highlander N-Line – Hyundai Tucson sits right in the middle of perhaps the most competitive SUV segment. This week we drove the top spec Highlander with the N-Line option pack  Tucson has evolved into a particularly stylish, dynamic five seat SUV that was a finalist in the recent OzRoamer COTY awards.

Powered by either a 1.6-litre turbo petrol with a 7 speed DCT or a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine mated to an 8 speed AT. The version we drove was the 1.6T and I have to say I really liked the driving characteristics, being zippy around town and with peak torque coming in around 1500 rpm it makes for relaxed cruising as well.

Ride, comfort and handling dynamics have all taken a big step forward and the latest Tucson feels fun to drive.

The highlander is already well fitted with comfort, safety and luxury features, the N-Line option adds mostly cosmetic bling

I particularly like the tablet style driver instrument binnacle, a view to the future I believe.  Along with that the large central screen is intuitive to use and the push button transmission, once you get used to it is clever and simple.

Hyundai Tucson Highlander N-Line is priced from around $51,400 plus the usual costs
