Turbocharged Engine and Powertrain

At the heart of the 2026 Hyundai Elantra N is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine designed for performance. This engine produces 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque, delivering quick acceleration and strong midrange pull.

The Elantra N offers two transmission choices:

  • Six-speed manual transmission for drivers who prefer full control and engagement.
  • N eight-speed wet dual clutch transmission with paddle shifters for fast, precise shifts.

Front-wheel drive is standard, supported by the N Corner Carving Differential, which helps distribute power and improve cornering performance. This drivetrain setup allows the Elantra N to put its power down effectively, even when pushing through tight turns.

Available features like N Grin Shift, offered on DCT models, temporarily increase output for an extra surge of speed. Launch Control also comes standard, helping drivers achieve consistent acceleration from a standstill.

Exhaust Sound and Driving Experience

One of the defining traits of the Hyundai Elantra N is its sound. The variable exhaust valve system allows the exhaust note to change based on drive mode. In Normal or Eco settings, the exhaust remains controlled for daily driving. Switch to N mode, and the exhaust sound becomes more aggressive, delivering crackles and pops that match the car’s performance character.

Drive modes include Eco, Normal, Sport, N, and Custom. These modes adjust throttle response, steering feel, suspension firmness, and exhaust behavior. This flexibility allows the Elantra N to feel calm during commutes and focused during spirited drives.

Electronically Controlled Suspension is standard, giving the driver precise control over ride comfort and handling balance.

Performance Technology and Displays

Technology in the 2026 Hyundai Elantra N is designed to support performance and daily use. A 10.25-inch touchscreen serves as the center for navigation, media, and vehicle settings. Performance focused pages display lap timers, shift indicators, and N track maps.

Safety and Driver Assistance Features

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Blind-Spot Collision Warning
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
