I totally agree with others here, it's down to personal preference. But personally, I liked the look of the N lines more but went for the ultimate purely because of spec (it was equivalent'ish of my 2019 Top of the range Premium SE Tuscon).
I did order the ultimate with optional sporty side steps (which I had on my previous Tuscon), however, to give it the sporty edge.

I don't have a part number. All I have is this picture that the dealer sent me when I confirmed it on my order...

I was tempted to go for the N Line S over the Ultimate until I saw the style of the alloys - obviously down to personal preference but I didn’t like them at all. I preferred the seats and body coloured wheel arches and the other sporty design touches but couldn’t live with those alloys.

Buried in all the really useful stuff in this thread is Big S's point that the wheels aren't getting as dirty with brake dust. I presume this is a Hybrid factor? Are those of you with hybrids finding that the regen helps keep the wheels cleaner? I'm hoping so for when mine arrives as I really hate cleaning wheels! :)

My N Line S wheels, which I do really like (subjective of course), as you say are not getting dirty at all. It was my big worry that they would need lots of cleaning but so far they have been really good. From new the black painted areas had a very non tick surface so dust etc was not sticking to them. I have also ceramic coated them and they are staying very clean by themselves. Happy days.

They do appear visually cleaner than my previous cars, but whether that is wheel design, the airflow via the front bumper side vents, hybrid driving style! or something else I couldn't say.

I've noticed that the rear wheels seem more affected with brake pad dust than the fronts. Very different to any other car I've owned as it's usually the other way round.
I wonder if the regen gizmo stuff is only on the front axle or it doesn't apply the front brakes as much as the rears?

Thanks for the answers everyone. So hopefully with a light right foot I'll be able to avoid changing brake pads and cleaning the wheels too often? Just need the car now.....
