November 19, 2024 1454 Hyundai

Beyond the extra downforce at the rear, the Elantra N TCR Edition has 19-inch forged wheels that shave off an unspecified amount of weight. Hyundai fits the new shoes with N Performance monoblock brakes equipped with four-piston calipers. Only the cars sold at home in South Korea are getting the body decals with an oversized N logo.
Hopping inside the cabin, changes are limited to an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, special badging, and N-specific Performance Blue accents. You’ll find Hyundai’s very own blue shade on the seatbelts and the steering wheel’s 12 o’clock mark. The available gearbox isn’t mentioned but the official images show the Elantra N with the eight-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission. It’s unclear whether the six-speed manual will also be offered.
South Korea will be the first market to get the performance sedan in December. Global markets will follow in 2025. If the special variant is coming to the United States, it’ll cost more than the$36,600 is charging for an Elantra N with the DCT. With the standard manual, the cheapest configuration starts at $35,100.
Further down the line, Hyundai will make another generation of this car with a gasoline engine. Company officials have even suggested it’ll get a bigger ICE by upgrading from the 2.0-liter unit to the latest 2.5-liter mill. If that happens, expect a bump in power from the current 276 hp and 289 lb-ft of torque Although the Elantra N is sticking around, the future doesn't look so bright for its hot hatch sibling not sold in America. The five-door i30 N is unlikely to get a next-generation model due to stricter emissions regulations in Europe.
