2025 Hyundai Elantra N
Starting at $
Highs: Potent power and quick acceleration, cornering abilities that thrill, grin-inducing exhaust note.
Lows: Cabin has an overabundance of hard plastics, exterior design can be polarizing, adaptive cruise control isn’t offered.
Verdict: The Elantra N proves that Hyundai has a fun side with a ton of serious performance and personality.
Overview
The Hyundai Elantra stands out from the often bland compact sedan class for its strong value proposition, spacious interior, and, dependent on your aesthetic tastes, unique styling. Those attributes alone are enough to make it attractive to a wide swath of shoppers, but if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re looking for something more: performance. Thankfully, the Elantra N (not to be confused with the supporting Elantra N Line, the sportiest version of the base standard Elantra) delivers just that, with up to 286 horsepower, a sport-tuned suspension, and a standard six-speed manual transmission (an automatic is available). Cosmetically, the Elantra N stands apart from the standard Elantra with a black grille, lower bumper, diffuser, and rear wing. Easily one of the more desirable drivers’ choices in the class, it’s not the only alternative. The turbocharged Mazda 3, Honda Civic Si, and VW Jetta GLI are also worthy of consideration, and for more generous budgets, the Civic Type R and Toyota GR Corolla could sway some over to the hot hatchback class.
What’s New for 2025?
After a raft of upgrades and changes last year, the Elantra N returns unchanged for 2025.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N starts at $ and goes up to $ depending on the trim and options.
Elantra N Manual: $35,100
Elantra N Automatic: $36,600
The N comes fully loaded with both attitude and equipment. Amongst the performance upgrades from standard Elantra’s are a host of technology and safety features, leaving buyers with a handful of paint options to choose from and the choice of either a manual or automatic transmission. If it were us, we’d pick the stick.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Hyundai Elantra N inherits its turbocharged four-cylinder from the Veloster N hatchback which was retired in 2022. That engine makes a stout 275-hp in the Veloster N, but thanks to an overboost feature the company calls N Grin Shift, the Elantra N boasts a 286-hp rating. That gives the Elantra N a big power advantage over the similarly priced Jetta GLI. An eight-speed automatic is available but we’re happy to report a six-speed manual is standard. The Elantra N offers sharp throttle response, crisp handling, and a sonorous exhaust note. We also found that the Elantra N’s longer wheelbase gives it a more compliant ride than the Veloster N, but it still delivers the surefootedness we look for in a sports sedan. In fact, the more time we spend with it, the more the Elantra N confirms its position as a top player in the spicy sport compact segment.
