The Hyundai Elantra GT N-Line Continues the N-ing Streak

realize that we're fanatics of the Hyundai Veloster N, and we're about as partial to its more affordable sibling, the Veloster Turbo R-Spec.

Since we've driven the marginally bigger, all the more routinely bundled Elantra GT N-Line, we can consider it a trifecta from Hyundai's incipient N execution sub-brand.

The GT is promoted as the hatchback form of the Elantra, however, it's nearer to the European-showcase i30, Hyundai's VW Golf warrior abroad.

The N-Line trim takes over for what was a year ago known as the Elantra GT Sport and gets the greater part of the Veloster Turbo R-Spec's equivalent overhauls.

Among those are a 201-hp 1.6-liter turbo motor, stiffer springs, and thicker influence bars, stiffer powertrain mounts, greater wheels with summer tires, and returned stuns and controlling.

The Elantra GT passes up the Veloster Turbo's Torque Vectoring Control, a brake-based framework intended to suppress corner-exit wheelspin.

While the Veloster R-Spec is manual-just, the Elantra GT N-Line offers either a six-speed stick or a seven-speed double grasp programmed, the last a helpful concession for those whose life-accomplices or resilience for left-leg movement lean toward not to inundate themselves in the Way of the Clutch.

Inside, the GT gets red sewing and a couple of other go-quicker accents, including a golf-ball-style move handle like the one in the Veloster N. From the outside it's quite stealthy, with just colorful 18-inch wheels recognizing it from the normal, 161-hp Elantra GT. Surveying a vehicle like this one is simple: Take it to a most loved awe-inspiring street and check whether it works.

The suspension is a respect move understudy, lashing down body movements over lopsided asphalt and controlling weight move pleasantly without giving up a bearable ride quality.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires simply grasp and hold and grasp.

Much more so than in the pleasantly arranged Veloster N, the Elantra's shifter and grasp are both smooth and light, and the directing is exact and has a decent weight to it.

The GT N-Line's just downright terrible propensity is corner-exit wheelspin, and it's not the principal front-driver to collect that objection.

A mechanical constrained slip differential, similar to that remembered for Honda's Civic Si, would go far toward settling this issue.

On the off chance that this peruses like a conventional audit of any respectable execution vehicle, at that point you get our point.

We've driven a ton of impeccably great execution disapproved of front-drivers, and the Elantra GT N-Line is one more one.

Presently, this is the point in the nonexclusive execution vehicle survey where the other shoe drops.

Prepared to hear what the Elantra GT N-Line gets super off-base? Prepare yourself, here it comes: Nothing.

It even gets quite not too bad gas mileage-between our traffic-gagged drive, fast parkway running, and our twisty-street run, we found the middle value of 28 MPG. This truly is your great average, overflowing with-goodness, kiss-the-mate take-the-kids-to-class then-go-take yourself-out-on-your-top pick twisty-street hot incubate.

Hyundai makes getting tied up with this integrity a simple undertaking, because the Elantra GT N-Line just comes two different ways: One rendition with a manual transmission, for $24,230, or the programmed transmission model for $25,330.

Standard gear incorporates Android Auto and Apple CarPlay telephone joining, physically flexible fabric seats, double zone atmosphere control, and all the power stuff we expect in a cutting edge vehicle.

You recollect why the Volkswagen GTI got celebrated, isn't that so? It was a brilliant, family-accommodating little vehicle that was greatly amusing to drive.

So is the Elantra N-Line, the distinction being that the Hyundai has somewhat less power, a marginally littler rearward sitting arrangement and expenses around four thousand less.

The Elantra runs on ordinary fuel while the GTI requires premium, and in case you're keeping it long haul, the Hyundai may ring up less in fix bills.

In shutting we'll close down with nine words that, had you asked us only a couple of years prior, we never thought we'd wind up composing: This is one more extraordinary execution vehicle from Hyundai.
