Hyundai has pulled the cover off its new Elantra GT N Line marking the debut of the N Line trim in the US. The N Line trim adds “sporty design elements and refined powertrain/chassis upgrades” to existing Hyundai products. The 2018 Elantra GT N Line replaces the 2018 Elantra GT Sport.
Hyundai is aiming the N Line cars at users wanting sporty design cues and performance-tuned suspension upgrades. The vehicle has blacked out side mirrors with turn signals, a unique grille, N Line badging, N Line 18-inch wheels, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/40 R18 summer tires for the manual transmission version.
Power is via a 1.6L turbo GDI engine with 6-speed manual or optional 7-speed DCT. The DCT has larger steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. The engine makes 201hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. The manual Elantra GT N Line starts at $23,300; the 7-speed DCT version starts at $24,400.
