Read on to learn more about the 2023 Hyundai Elantra at your local Hyundai dealer!
1. Turbocharged Powertrain
Producing a hefty 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque, the Elantra N’s 2.0L turbo inline-4 promises thrilling and responsive performance. The 6-speed manual transmission that the motor pairs with features buttery, short throws. Buyers may also opt for the N 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Extra grip is provided by the standard electronic limited-slip differential.
Acceleration is exceptionally quick, with a 0 to 60 time of less than five seconds. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another car this fast that can also achieve an EPA fuel economy rating of 31 MPG highway.
2. Sport-Tuned Chassis
The Elantra N’s MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension strikes a fine balance between responsive handling and comfort. This suspension setup is also electronically controlled, enabling the car to react to changing road conditions and driver inputs in real time. High-performance 14.2-inch ventilated front brakes and 12.4-inch ventilated rear brakes quickly bring the vehicle to stop.
3. Exclusive N Styling
Though the standard Elantra already possesses a sleek and sporty look, the N model further sets itself apart with unique details like the red trim on the car’s front lip and skirts. N badging can be found on the front grille and rear fascia. Even the interior features N logos on the seats and steering wheel. Standard 19-inch alloy wheels and a rear spoiler add extra style points.
4. Plentiful Creature Comforts
Not only does the Elantra N’s passenger cabin sport a racy design, but it comes packed with a load of amenities to help keep you cozy during your trip. These include dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and supportive sport bucket seats that provide excellent lateral support. Models equipped with the dual-clutch transmission feature a power tilt-and-slide sunroof.
5. Loaded Infotainment System
Every Elantra N has a high-resolution 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system offering support for navigation, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth hands-free calls. The system can also recognize intuitive voice commands, so that you can better focus on the drive. With standard HD Radio and SiriusXM satellite radio capability, you’ll enjoy hours of listening entertainment.
Home theater-quality sound comes from a standard 8-speaker Bose premium audio system.
