Hyundai Elantra N

by wiondrive news desk

After only three years, Hyundai's feisty Elantra N sport compact gets an update, aligning its design with the calmer sedan it's based on.

Hyundai has made some tweaks the car's suspension system, but the 276-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four goes unchanged for 2024, so straight-line performance remains the same.

The Elantra's all-digital dashboard carries over to the N model, with a large 10.3-inch digital gauge display sharing real estate with a 10.3-inch infotainment display that's angled slightly toward the driver.

The sportier-looking ambiance is enhanced by sport seats with aggressive bolsters, metal-accented pedals, and a smattering of N badges.

Rear seat passenger space is more generous here than in the Veloster N and the trunk offers more space for cargo.

The N comes fully loaded with both attitude and equipment. Amongst the performance upgrades from standard Elantra's are a host of technology and safety features, leaving buyers with a handful of paint options to choose from.

The "H" logo on the hood is now black, and there are two new 19-inch wheel designs.
