More Hyundai N Line models to arrive in PH

MANILA: Hyundai Motor Philippines (HMPH) will bring in more N Line models to the country. 

During the launch of the new Hyundai Creta, HMPH General Manager for Marketing Mark Parulan confirmed the possibility to Zigwheels Philippines.

To note, the company's newest model expanded its N Line offerings locally.

“Definitely, for products that are applicable for an N Line, we will try to always excite the market by bringing in a variant for that specific product,” the HMPH executive said in a chance interview. 

No model was confirmed, nor was any timeline stated, but the next closest Hyundai N Line vehicle we could get would be for the Tucson crossover. 

Hyundai Tuscon N Line 

The locally available Hyundai Tucson got its latest update sometime last year, which saw the nameplate get a hybrid powertrain alongside its stablemate, the Santa Fe. 

While it now sports a more economical power unit aimed at customers shifting to a more sustainable lifestyle, it could use some sporty elements to attract those who want a more spirited experience. 

A quick look at Hyundai’s global website revealed that the company has an N Line model for the crossover. 

Sold in Europe, here are its key features: 

Exterior 

• N Line-exclusive grille 
• N Line-exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels 
• Body-colored side moldings, wheel arches
• N Line spoiler 
• N Line-exclusive single twin-tip muffler 

Interior 

• N Line-exclusive suede seats 
• N Line emblem on steering wheel 
• Red stitching on upholstery 
• Red accents on dashboard 
• Metal pedals 

Powertrain 

• 1.6 liter T-GDi Smartstream engine
• 72-kilowatt electric motor
• Plug-in hybrid system 
• 248 horsepower 

Other candidates 

Looking at Hyundai’s global catalog, we were able to check out some possible candidates for HMPH’s future N Line offerings. 

While we already have the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which out of the factory comes as a track-ready machine, the N Line model would slot under it and above the standard version of the electric car. 

It would be an ideal vehicle for those who want an eco-friendly daily driver with a sporty feel. 

Should the local wing of the South Korean carmaker revive the discontinued Hyundai Kona, its N Line variant would also stir the lineup. 

Likewise, if the Hyundai Sonata will make a comeback, its N Line trim would also be a welcome addition to the company’s local roster.
