THIS time, it's broadening the powertrains offered on the N Line versions of the Tucson SUV.

You can now order hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, as well as the petrol units with which it was launched.

Sporty N Line trim brings a different front bumper and air intake design, a new rear spoiler, rear diffuser and twin-tip exhausts. It rides on 19-inch wheels with a geometric pattern mirroring that applied to the car's grille.

Both the conventional hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains use a 1.6-litre petrol engine.

The former links this to a 1.49kWh battery, while the latter uses a much larger 13.8kWh battery for an electric-only range claimed to be as high as 38 miles and CO2 emissions of just 31g/km.

Inside, there’s a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside a 10.25-inch digital dashboard display.

Buyers can also upgrade to the £36,820-plus N Line S trim which adds three-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof and adaptive cruise control.
