Recently, the domestic media exposed a set of domestic spy photos of Hyundai Elantra N, and at the same time, the media intercepted the design patent diagram of the model in the State Intellectual Property Office, and all indications show that the compact steel cannon model created by the modern high-performance N department will have a high probability of being introduced into The country. If Elantra N can eventually be introduced, it will be a shot in the arm for the currently declining market for affordable performance vehicles.
The Elantra N was first released in North America in July 2021 and was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show, but has not announced plans to introduce it since. The Elantra N is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine built by the high-performance N division and is mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (N DCT) with a maximum power (206 kW) of 280 hp/ 5500-6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 392 Nm/2100-4700 rpm. The vehicle is also equipped with N Grin Shift (NGS) overcharging, which further increases the maximum horsepower to 290 horsepower.
