Powertrain
The Elantra N retains its formidable 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering an impressive 280PS of power and 393Nm of torque, with automatic over-boost briefly boosting power to 290PS for 20 seconds. The car achieves a top speed of 280 kmph. Power is transmitted to the front axle through either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed wet-type dual-clutch automatic gearbox, aided by an adjustable electromechanical front differential to ensure precise torque distribution to the road.
Hyundai has officially confirmed substantial enhancements beneath the surface of the Elantra N, which encompass a reinforced engine mount membrane and G-bushing, along with the introduction of a urethane rear suspension insulator in place of rubber. These refinements are designed to reduce vibration while simultaneously enhancing yaw response, steering precision, and damping. Additionally, the electronically-controlled suspension hardware has undergone optimizations via software adjustments, resulting in improved body control during driving.
Verdict
The Hyundai Elantra N is a high-performance sedan that marks the eighth anniversary of Hyundai's N brand.
