2022 Hyundai Elantra N
Hyundai has produced the sportiest and most powerful Elantra ever! The only Elantra 100% performance ready in the Elantra family, the Elantra N.
The Elantra N is Hyundai’s best-performance sedan, just everything you need to race safe at high speeds.
The N line has received a distinctive design with advanced aerodynamics, revised steering, and a boosted powerful engine that can produce up to 276 horsepower. The standard Elantra can produce 201 horsepower, when driving an Elantra N you have an additional 75 horsepower on your side to push your Elantra further and faster.
The Elantra N is not only about power, we can enjoy great precision on the road with performance-ready breaks, transmission, wheels, and also an attractive exterior sporty look inspired by racing.
Among the features that distinguish the N-version from the N-Line version are a partially black front bumper with enlarged air intakes, two large exhaust pipes, a wing on the trunk lid, while the N-Line has a regular mini-spoiler, and a bright red “skirt”.
Enhancements on the N version continue with a sports N-steering wheel with large buttons for switching driving modes, metal pedals, and a digital dashboard with original graphics and an N performance everywhere.
When driving an Elantra N this is what you get
The N is a very smart and fast machine powered by a 2.0L turbo GDI 4-cylinder with 276 horsepower and 289 lb.-ft. torque Engine with a variable exhaust valve system with dual outlets. This sedan was engineered with Nürburgring-tested driving dynamics to maximize driving performance including grip and precision.
This fast car is efficient with 25 Combined Miles per Gallon, 22 City, and 31 Hwy fuel consumption.
High-Performance N Corner Carving Differential (eLSD)
While cornering, the eLSD system distributes more torque to the outer wheels. This maximizes turning speed and traction while reducing understeer.
