Mechanical Specs

The N version of the 2025 Hyundai Elantra prioritizes performance with its 276-horsepower (289 lb.-ft. of torque) turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Driving purists love the chance to choose a six-speed manual transmission over the available eight-speed wet dual-clutch automatic with paddle shifters. The Elantra N ha a front-wheel drivetrain. Its EPA-estimated fuel economy numbers are 21 mpg around town and 29 mpg on the highway with the manual tranny and 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway with the dual-clutch.

Standard Equipment

The 2025 Elantra N piles on the performance features, with that list including the N Corner Carving Differential (e-LSD), an electronically controlled suspension, Launch Control, and the proprietary N Grin Control drive mode selector (settings: Eco, Normal, Sport, N, and Custom). Hyundai’s N Grin Shift performance booster is found on versions with the automatic transmission. The variable exhaust valve system allows you to choose a louder note for your Elantra N’s exhaust. The 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster shows performance data, such as a lap timer, shift indicator, and N track map). Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires come from the factory on 19-inch wheels.

But all of that track-related stuff doesn’t mean that Hyundai skimps on comfort and convenience amenities for the Elantra N. It comes with Digital Key 2, proximity entry, heated sport-style bucket seats with an illuminated N logo, leather upholstery with Alcantara elements, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, wireless phone charging, two automatic climate control zones, push-button ignition, four USB ports, auto-on/off LED headlights, LED daytime running lights and taillights, and heated power-adjustable exterior mirrors with turn indicators. Elantra Ns with the dual-clutch automatic get a power tilt/slide sunroof.

Safety Tech

The SmartSense bundle of advanced safety technologies comes standard to give the driver added on-road confidence with automatic high beams, forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, lane following assist, driver attention warning, safe exit warning, and intelligent speed limit assist. The rearview camera is extra helpful with its dynamic guidelines, and Hyundai also includes front and rear parking sensors and a full airbag array to protect the occupants.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The generously sized (10.25 inches) infotainment system in the Elantra N responds to voice commands as well as touchscreen operation and has all of the most sought-after features: Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, built-in navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Bluetooth for hands-free phone calls and audio streaming. A premium Bose unit with eight speakers supplies first-rate sound.
