Hyundai unveils the spirited new Elantra N Line sedan

Hyundai Motor Company has launched the Elantra N Line. The new model is designed and engineered to deliver more enhanced driving fun to the bold Elantra that launched in April 2020.

The N Line model, characterised by N specific design and performance-enhancing elements, offers an attractive entry point to the Hyundai's high-performance N Brand lineup and will expand Elantra's appeal to a broader range of customers.

The Elantra N Line delivers a spirited driving experience, powered by a 1.6-litre GDI turbocharged engine that produces up to 198bhp and 265Nm of torque. This engine is paired with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed Double Clutch Transmission

Hyundai engineers implemented several mechanical improvements to the Elantra's suspension to increase its stiffness for a gripping performance, aided by 18-inch alloy wheels, a multi-link independent rear suspension and larger front brake rotors.

Driver-oriented features, such as paddle shifters and a Drive Mode Selector system enable a racing-inspired experience behind the wheel. Interior design elements, including a leather-wrapped perforated N steering wheel with metallic spokes, N sport seats with leather bolsters, gearshift with metal accents and leather inserts, and alloy pedals, complement Elantra's sporty exterior styling. The Elantra N Line's 'low and wide' exterior styling and 'Parametric Dynamics' design theme imparts a look of sophisticated sportiness. The Elantra's cascading grille also gets a more aggressive look with an N Line badge and an intricate geometric pattern.

The arrow-shaped air curtains on the lower fascia support aerodynamic performance and engine cooling while giving the model a high-performance image. Glossy black moulding on the wheel wells, side-view mirrors and side skirts provide a touch of modern sophistication to the overall appearance.

The Elantra N Line's fastback profile merges with a sculpted rear, designed to enhance aerodynamic performance and further express the low and wide aesthetic through horizontal lines. The integrated spoiler, chrome twin exhaust and N Line rear diffuser add to the car's performance-inspired styling.

Hyundai also launched new N performance parts for those who want to further customise Hyundai N Line models to suit their preference. The N performance parts provide a more dynamic driving experience beyond the base model, allowing customers to get more of the N experience.

Following the launch of the new Elantra N Line, Hyundai plans to launch the Sonata N Line with a 2.5-litre turbocharged GDI engine in 2020 to further expand the N Line lineup. The Elantra will also have a hybrid model due for sale in Korea during the third quarter of 2020, with sales in global markets following soon after.
