The first-ever TUCSON N Line has landed: bringing serious performance styling to the TUCSON’s futuristic design. Available across the TUCSON range, the N Line Option Pack includes head-turning details like exclusive 19″ N Line alloys, a suede and leather ^[P5] appointed interior and an impressive 10.25″ digital supervision cluster. This is one to watch out for.

“The medium SUV claimed top honours from a formidable field of 19 candidates in Australia’s biggest new-vehicle sales segment… we assessed more than 100 criteria across five key areas including safety, technology, comfort and convenience, driving performance and ownership costs.”

The TUCSON stands out from the crowd right from the start due to two interconnected factors, only one of which is immediately obvious. The first is its radical radiator grille, which features a parametric series of light-catching air intakes. The second is the set of LED DRLs across the range which, on the Highlander variant, are concealed within the outer edges of the grille and glow to reveal themselves once the engine starts.

A leap forward in automotive interior design, the open-style 10.25″ display panel is fitted in the Highlander variant and included as part of the N Line Option Pack, it features digitised performance gauges and infographics, a unique graphics scheme for each drive mode, and a choice of layout themes. To elevate safety even further, the cluster also incorporates the video feed for the Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM).

The 10.25″ multimedia display puts at your fingertips all the apps, entertainment and content you love accessing on your smartphone. There’s also a built-in sat nav system plus a suite of the latest vehicle-tech innovations: including Multi- Bluetooth™ connectivity, user profiles that can be created and personalised to suit each driver, and the Sounds of Nature ambient audio library.

You can automatically open the tailgate door, hands-free and foot- free, simply by standing behind the boot for 3 seconds with your smart key. And you can also customise it to open to one of three lift heights so you never have to get up on your toes to reach it, which will also help ensure it doesn’t make contact with a low carpark ceiling.

Gear shifting is controlled not with a traditional gearstick but by touching the sleek, push-button electronic touchpad that’s integrated into the centre console to maximise ease and space. And when the engine is turned off, it automatically shifts into the P-gear if the driver has forgotten to.

The TUCSON’s unique form was created to push the design boundaries of the medium SUV category, and nowhere is this more evident than along its chiselled side profile. Innovative and futuristic, it features a distinctive Z-shaped character line that extends across both doors, catching the light and creating the impression of kinetic forward motion.

A leap forward in automotive interior design, the open-style 10.25-inch display panel-fitted in the Highlander variant and included as part of the N Line Option Pack – features digitised performance gauges and infographics, a unique graphics scheme for each drive mode, and a choice of layout themes. To elevate safety even further, the cluster also incorporates the video feed for the Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM).

You can automatically open the tailgate door, hands-free and foot-free, simply by standing behind the boot for 3 seconds with your smart key. And you can also customise it to open to one of three lift heights so you never have to get up on your toes to reach it, which will also help ensure it doesn’t make contact with a low carpark ceiling.

The 10.25″ touchscreen is integrated with the latest satellite navigation system, giving you not just directions to your next destination but also alerts about speed limits and red-light cameras installed in the area.

With seven high-fidelity speakers plus a separate subwoofer linked by Bose®’s unique automotive technology for crystal-clear sound reproduction, this premium audio system has been specifically selected to suit the unique cabin acoustics of the all-new Tucson.

Leave your cables alone and recharge your smartphone as you drive by placing it in the charging pad in the front centre console, which incorporates a cooling function to prevent your device from overheating.

Hands full? Enjoy the convenience of never again having to pull your car keys out of your bag, jacket or pocket. Just have your smart key with you and opening your doors becomes as simple as pressing the Lock/Unlock button on your door handle. Then start the ignition by pressing the dash-mounted Engine Start/Stop button.

Smart sensors maximise the life of your wiper blades by ensuring they come on and stay on only for as long as you need them to, and  automatically switch off again once the rain stops. Ingeniously, they also adjust their wipe rate in line with the speed you’re travelling at, maximising driver visibility.

Like a second set of eyes, this system uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to look out for vehicles in the driver’s blind spot. When BCA detects a vehicle in those blind spots, it provides visual and audible alerts, and if it detects a potential collision, it initiates active avoidance braking and steering manoeuvres to help keep your Tucson out of harm’s way.

Signalling left or right with the Tucson’s indicators will activate Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM). This safety system can see cars travelling in rear blind spots and projects real-time video onto the digital supervision cluster, giving you a more complete driving picture to respond to.

^{Available on the Highlander variant.}

The FCA system is designed to reduce the risk of collision by detecting and monitoring oncoming vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. And when the driver activates the indicators to turn right at a junction, the JT system recognises any oncoming obstacles ahead using its front view camera and front radar. If there’s a risk of a frontal collision, JT warns the driver of the danger ahead if necessary, applies emergency braking to avoid an impact.

This steering-assist function detects lane markings on the road to monitor your position in a lane. Should you stray from a lane without activating your indicators, an audible and visual warning will be sounded and, where required, steering intervention will activate to keep you in your lane.

LFA uses the Tucson’s front windshield-mounted camera to detect lane markers and preceding traffic on the road, and provides steering assistance to ensure you stay safely centred in your lane while driving.

When you’re slowly reversing in a garage or parking spot and the PCA-R anticipates a likely collision with an obstacle or even a pedestrian, the system will warn you with visual and audible alarms and, if necessary, will engage the TUCSON’s emergency brakes to prevent impact.

When backing out from a parking position, RCCA detects vehicles approaching from the left or right. The sensor will issue an audible alert and visual warning on the dashboard and, if necessary, will initiate a braking manoeuvre.

This system monitors the opening and closing of the Tucson’s rear doors, to make sure nothing and no one is accidentally left behind inside. When the driver stops the engine and opens their door to exit, ROA will display a “check rear seats” alert message in the supervision cluster.

This system includes all the elements of standard Rear Occupant Alert (which helps ensure no one is accidentally left behind inside), plus on the Elite and Highlander variants, it will sound an audible warning alarm if it detects any movement in the rear seats after the Tucson’s ignition has been turned off and the car has been locked by the driver.

_{Available on the Elite and Highlander variants.}

This system detects any oncoming vehicles approaching from the rear and alerts the driver that it may be dangerous for passengers to exit the Tucson, with both a sound and a pop-up visual warning appearing on the dashboard.

This system utilises the front radar sensor to detect the speed and distance of a vehicle travelling ahead in the same direction and lane. It then automatically maintains a safe distance from that vehicle, up to a maximum speed pre-set by you between 0km/h and 180km/h.

This multi-camera parking safety system generates a 360-degree bird’s eye view around your TUCSON  from various viewpoints including top, front, rear, left and right, displaying them on your multimedia screen to assist you in successfully manoeuvring tight parking situations.
