Hyundai has given the Tucson a sporty makeover, which can be further enhanced through the N line add-on, which should be coming later this year and will definitely be available in 2022. The Hyundai has lost its boxy shape, gaining some curves as well as a reworked front and rear end. LED headlights and privacy glass in the rear windows provide engaging touches. Show Drivers opting for the N line package can also benefit from 19" alloys, a black grille, a body kit, silver skid plates and more. PerformanceOverall, it's probably fair to say that the CX-5's driving performance is superior in terms of sheer power. Aside from torque, other aspects of performance are, perhaps surprisingly, pretty well matched. The CX-5 offers a choice of three engines: a 2.5l naturally aspirated petrol, as well as a turbo-charged, 4-cylinder option and a 2.2l turbo-diesel engine. These deliver, respectively, 140kw/252Nm torque, 170kw/420Nm torque and 140kw/450Nm torque. Fuel consumption for the non-turbo is about 7.4l/100km, 8.2l/100km for the turbo and 5.7l/100km for the diesel.
