The South Korean automotive giant looks determined to expand its range by offering more performance-oriented SUVs and EVs.
This implies that the company’s N Performance subdivision will have plenty of work soon. No official details are available, but rumor has it that the tuner is already working on beefed-up Tucson N and Venue N. Maybe these two will indeed launch Nissan’s previously nonexistent N Performance SUV line.
As for making the range-topping modifications purely electric, this approach has actually been popular lately, because strict environmental norms force more and more supercar makers to turn their attention to EVs.
In Europe, the N Performance line started two years ago with the Hyundai i30N hot hatch, which sadly never became as popular as the company had anticipated. Later, it has mostly been producing ‘N Line’ variants of its cars, including the SUVs. These came with various tweaks in styling and cabin trim, but the same choice of engines.
