When performance models have gradually become a new boom in domestic car cars, more and more car companies have launched "original factory is modified" models, including hyundai's "N Line model" based on Fiesta not long ago, in an attempt to join the "big brawl" of domestic sports tutors with a more combative momentum.
Not only that, recently there are suspected Hyundai N department models appearing in China, which is a group of suspected Elantra N appearing inside the domestic factory test spy photo, so it is not excluded that the future new car or the introduction of domestic identity.
Although the new car is still wrapped very tightly, from the exclusive blue and red color scheme of the modern N series, as well as the 19-inch multi-spoke sports wheels and the exclusive red calipers of the N series below, it can be basically concluded that this is an Elantra N.
At the same time, there are also patented drawings of suspected new cars that have been exposed, using performance-oriented shapes consistent with Elantra N.
As we all know, the Elantra N is a performance model based on the standard Elantra, and the appearance continues the current model while adding a more personalized body color.
And the whole car is equipped with a very combative N Line kit, including larger sport wheels, front and rear lips, side skirts, as well as spoilers and upgraded tail throats, etc., which is a proper performance car visual sense.
Although in terms of interior, Elantra N also continues the interior style of the ordinary version of the model and adopts a joint screen design, but the new car still adds a different performance atmosphere from the ordinary version in more details.
For example, the whole car has more N logos, added A dedicated menu for the N series that supports booster, oil thermometer, G-value information and lap timer, and blue stitching at the details.
Best of all, the Elantra N also features a highly wrapped sports seat, exclusive three-spoke orientation, red ignition switch and a more fun mechanical handbrake, etc., and the internal performance atmosphere is directly filled.
Of course, the most important thing is the power aspect, the Elantra N is equipped with the same 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine as the i30 N and Veloster N, with a maximum power of 206 kW (280Ps), a peak torque of 392 Nm, and a drivetrain matched with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
It also supports a maximum power of 213 kW and about 290 hp in N Grin Shift mode, which can achieve an acceleration time of only 5.3 seconds from 0-100 km/h. For reference, the Volkswagen GTI is 7.1 seconds, while the higher performance Golf R is 4.7 seconds.
Considering that the starting price of the car in North America is 31,900 US dollars (about 203,100 yuan), in the North American market, in addition to the Volkswagen GTI, there are also Ford Focus ST and Civic Si and other models, so after entering China, it is undoubtedly the standard Volkswagen GTI and Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan and other models.

Referring to the starting price of the Golf GTI in North America of $30,540 (about 194,100 yuan), the price of imported Elantra N in China in the future may be within 300,000.
In fact, the entry of Elantra N into China has long been signs, at last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Beijing Hyundai for the first time in the country publicly exhibited this Elantra N, and has invited relevant media to test drive a new car, not excluding the possibility of weighing this model into China at that time.
With the launch of more and more domestic performance cars, as well as more performance cars that were not originally intended to be imported, they have now reconsidered the possibility of entering China, which means that the domestic consumer market has a higher pursuit of vehicle performance.
