The N Line trim is an indulgence in a category of autos the place affordability is a key issue. Beginning at an MSRP of $31,200 in FWD guise for 2022, there may be worth for cash in the event you’re into the Tucson N Line’s styling and a again street is a part of your commute. In any other case, in order for you extra energy and higher gas economic system, the hybrid fashions are a greater guess at a couple of thousand extra; the Tucson continues to be enjoyable to drive with out the upgraded suspension and throttle and transmission mapping. There is not any N Line trim on the hybridized variations of the Tucson, although. We would not file the Tucson N Line away as an fanatic’s automotive, however for somebody that wishes to look good and sometimes decide up the tempo, it has a spot in Hyundai’s lineup.
When it goes up in opposition to the Toyota RAV 4, we desire the Tucson normally. Toyota has angled the RAV4 as a soft-roader with its sportier trims, so there isn’t any actual comparability to the N Line. We nonetheless have to get the brand new Honda CR-V in for a full week, however from our first drive expertise, we consider it will likely be a toss-up. Nevertheless, Honda has leaned into its Sport trims, they usually’re hybrid solely. There’s extra energy there but in addition extra weight. Nonetheless, we’d look ahead to the CR-V Sport to hit the dealerships and take a look at drive them each earlier than making a call.
