Compared to the regular model, the new performance-oriented sedan gets a meaner styling, added features, and a more powerful engine. The Elantra N will go on sale later this year in the United States of America, Australia, and South Korea. We take a closer look.
2024 Hyundai Elantra N: Exterior Design
While it is based on the regular Elantra, the Elantra N appears much more sporty courtesy Hyundai’s performance division. The front end offers a new sculpted bonnet with a full-width LED light bar sitting just below it. Sleek LED headlights flank the slim blacked-out N-badged grille. The bumper has been redesigned as well with a wider air dam and a front splitter with red highlights. The side profile stays similar to the standard model except for black ORVMs, new dual-tone 19-inch alloy wheels, and the red highlights towards the bottom. Towards the rear the car offers H-shaped LED tail lights connected by an LED light bar, a boot lid spoiler, dual exhausts, and a blacked out rear diffuser.

2024 Hyundai Elantra N: Will it come to India?
Hyundai Motor India discontinued the Elantra in the country early last year due to disappointing sales. Currently, the Elantra N is slated for a launch in only a few markets, and it is unlikely that it will reach our shores.
Globally, the car will rival the likes of the Volkswagen Jetta GLI, Toyota Camry TRD, Honda Civic Si, and the Kia K5 GT.
