Hyundai will reportedly add another model to its line-up of N performance vehicles with the Tucson N, according to Auto Express. The Tucson N, which is claimed to arrive within the next two years , will join other stablemates like the i30 N, Veloster N and forthcoming i20 N.
Insiders say the performance SUV will pack at least 340 hp, with a zero to 100 km/h time of below six seconds. Beyond that, there’s not a whole lot of information about the model that will compete against the Cupra Ateca, Audi SQ5 and upcoming Volkswagen T-Roc R.
On a related note, Hyundai is also looking to add a halo car to its N division that will serve as prove of intent. It’s not certain what platform this vehicle will use, but Hyundai development mules have been sighted with four-wheel drive and a revamped version of the i30 N’s gearbox.
An alternative option also being studied is an all-new architecture with a full electric powertrain. Whatever happens, it’s clear the company wants its N cars to be taken seriously, with sources saying Hyundai is “not interested in making also-ran cars with N badges on them in whatever class they compete.”

Hello Audi, oh wai…
But in Bolehland, the rich can afford this but pronounce it as ‘Tak San’ lmao…
How?
Evo X engine: Mitsubishi 4B11(based on GEMA 2.0L)
Optima GT engine: Hyundai Theta II -series (based on GEMA 2.0L)
i30 N engine: Hyundai Theta II – series GDI (1.2 bar, 275ps)
:p
Nice..so the optima gt is using an improved mitsu evo engine that is more fuel efficient, compliant to euro emission and sold at half the price of evo.
Who asked for such a thing? There is a reason why there isn’t a Forester XT anymore or plans for a Tiguan GTI you know. People want SUVs for sensible driving!
