The Hyundai N Family Is Growing – Meet the 2022 Hyundai Elantra N
When it comes to fun, powerful cars in the Hyundai lineup, the Veloster N immediately comes to mind. Even a simple test drive of the Veloster N at Dorsett Hyundai is enough to show you the impressive performance of this three-door hot hatch. Now Hyundai is growing the N family with the addition of the 2022 Hyundai Elantra N. How does the Elantra N stand out from the Veloster N? And what else should you know about it? Read on to find out.
Comparing the Elantra N and Veloster N
From the start, you’ll notice that the 2022 Hyundai Elantra N has a familiar exterior color. It wears the same Performance Blue and has red accents like the Veloster N.
Engine
The powertrains are also the same. Either N model runs on a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. This produces 276 horsepower on the Elantra N and 275 for the Veloster N. The Hyundai N model also gives you a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.
Infotainment
Inside, the differences are even more noticeable. The Elantra N stands out with its new screen package, featuring two 10.25-inch displays. The 2022 Hyundai Elantra N has more customization within this infotainment system than the Veloster N.
For example, the settings include three-stage adjustable steering, suspension, and exhaust sound. You can also use the lap timer, launch control button, or play the engine sound through your speakers.
Other Features of Note
Explore some other crucial features of the Elantra N, including many performance-oriented features.
The Chassis
The chassis of the Elantra N is stiffer, improving handling and control. It has reinforcements throughout its body to give the car more rigidity.
Variable Exhaust
One of the 2022 Hyundai Elantra N highlights is its variable exhaust system. You get an invigorating sound and can easily change the settings based on your mood.
Nürburgring-Tested
As an N model, the Elantra N underwent rigorous testing on the Nürburgring track. As such, the vehicle was engineered to maximize precision, enjoyment, and grip, which are crucial for a drive on the famous track.
N Corner Carving Differential
When you are cornering, this system, called eLSD, will send more torque to the Elantra N’s outer wheels. This will reduce understeer while maximizing traction and turning speed.
High-performance Brakes
The 2022 Hyundai Elantra N also comes with high-performance brakes, as is to be expected for a performance-oriented car. These brakes have larger rotors and high-friction brake pads to maximize heat endurance. They contribute to the Hyundai Elantra N’s stopping power and pre-fill brake function.
The Displays
As mentioned, the Elantra N has dual 10.25-inch displays. One is for the infotainment touchscreen, while the other is for the digital cluster. Both deliver plenty of customization. The infotainment screen also features navigation.
