As you move up to the SEL and Limited variants, the features increase in terms of comfort, technology, and performance tuning.

Engine and Transmission

At the heart of the ELANTRA N is the 2.0L turbocharged engine that delivers an impressive 280 PS and 40.0 kgf·m of torque. This engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission (MT) or an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). 

The 8-speed DCT version includes three N-exclusive features: N Grin Shift (NGS), N Power Shift (NPS), and N Track Sense (NTS). These features enhance acceleration and shifting precision, making the car more responsive and fun to drive. The ELANTRA N can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds with the N DCT.

Features

• Interior

  Inside, the ELANTRA N is driver-focused, with a lowered seat position for better control and engagement. The cabin features N light bucket seats and the lowest seating position among N models, helping to lower the overall center of gravity. The rear seat offers ample space, making it comfortable even for longer journeys.
  
  

• Exterior

  The ELANTRA N’s exterior is designed for aerodynamics and performance. The semi-glossy black front mask, rear diffuser, and broader 19-inch Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires give the car a low, wide stance. A 3-bridged spoiler wing adds to the sporty look while improving high-speed stability.
  
  

• Entertainment and convenience

  The car features a new infotainment system that provides better visibility and data tracking for real-time driving. Drivers can also use the Hyundai N app to monitor and analyze their performance on the track. The N Sound Equalizer (NSE) enhances the engine sound through the car’s speakers, giving drivers customizable sound modes.
  
  

• Comfort

  The ELANTRA N blends performance with comfort, thanks to the dual compound bushings that provide stability in corners without compromising ride quality. The second-generation Electronic Controlled Suspension (ECS) adapts to driving conditions and modes for a smoother experience.
  
  

• Safety

  Safety features include larger 360 mm brake discs, which improve braking performance by dissipating heat more efficiently. The air guide system, derived from motorsports, directs air to the brakes for cooling. The car also features Hyundai’s SmartSense package, with adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and blind-spot detection.

Fuel Efficiency

Despite its performance-focused design, the ELANTRA N gets EPA-estimated at 24 mpg when you combine it with the manual or 23 mpg when you combine it with the automatic transmission. This is a little below average.

Best Value for Money

The Hyundai ELANTRA N SE variant is considered the best value for money. It offers a solid combination of performance and technology at an affordable price. The SE variant has many standard features, making it a great starting point for anyone looking to enjoy the N experience without breaking the bank.

Alternatives

The Hyundai ELANTRA N competes with several other high-performance compact sedans like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Kia K5, and Mazda 3. Each of these rivals offers similar performance and features, but the ELANTRA N stands out with its motorsport-inspired technology and balanced handling.
