Powertrain and Fuel Economy

The 2025 Hyundai Elantra N is a high-performance sedan equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that churns out 276 hp and 289 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one of the rare models that still offers a six-speed manual transmission; the alternative is an eight-speed wet dual-clutch automatic with paddle shifters. Front-wheel drive is standard. According to the EPA’s fuel economy estimates, the ’25 Elantra N returns 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway with the stick shift and 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway with the automatic.

Standard Amenities

Designed for avid driving enthusiasts, the ‘25 Elantra N includes an array of performance-oriented features, such as an electronically controlled suspension, Launch Control, the N Corner Carving Differential (e-LSD), and a selector for the N Grin Control drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport, N, and Custom). The powerful N Grin Shift performance booster is included in conjunction with the automatic transmission. You’ll also surely appreciate the throaty sounds of the Elantra N’s variable exhaust valve system as well as its 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster with performance data (including a shift indicator, lap timer, and N track map) and 19-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires.

But the Elantra N doesn’t just excel on the track.
