Red hyundai Verna driving

2026 Hyundai Elantra N POV test drive, spirited drive, highway drive, launch control, 0-60 acceleration, exhaust sound, review. I think it’s safe to say that Hyundai redefined the meaning of “cheap performance” with the Elantra N. For $35,000 we get a real performance compact sedan, which is still around $10,000 cheaper than its rivals - Civic Type R, GR Corolla, WRX tS, or a VW Golf R. But don’t look at it as a cheaper, discount product. It’s actually a pretty impressive vehicle . It has a 2-liter turbo 4-cylinder, which makes 276 hp, (286 hp in boost mode) and 289 lb-ft of torque. We can choose between a 6-speed manual gearbox, or an 8-speed wet clutch DCT, and both units put the power down via an e-LSD. As of suspension, we have a reinforced strut front and a multilink setup in the back, combined with adaptive dampers, which actually work pretty effectively and there is a noticeable difference in damping between the modes. We get upgraded brakes with 4-piston front calipers, revised EPS for better inputs and feedback, and improved aerodynamics to mainly, reduce lift. Now, as I said in the begging one of the biggest selling points is how much this thing costs. Pricing starts at around $34,000 and the only option you can get is a DCT which costs $1,500 and that’s what our tester has. Other performance cars to consider are a Honda Civic Type R, Ford Mustang GT, Subaru WRX, Toyota GR Corolla, VW Golf GTI, VW Golf R, Kia K5 GT, Hyundai Veloster N. 00:00 - Sneak Peak 00:09 - Exterior 00:35 - Interior (Front Seats) 03:25 - Interior (Backseat) 03:43 - Trunk 03:53 - Exterior 04:32 - Engine 05:10 - Drive 08:44 - Highway 13:07 - Backroad 14:25 - Launch Control 14:50 - Backroad Specs: Engine: 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 | 276 hp | 289 lb-ft of torque Transmission: 8-speed DCT | FWD Price as tested: $37,070 #hyundai #hyundaielantran #elantran #elantra #review #cars Follow me on Instagram and TikTok @tom.swiatek
