As one of the most popular and accessible vehicles on the marketplace, the Hyundai Elantra is a master call in safety and reliability, all backed by one of the best warranties to be found in the entire industry. As we enter a brand new model year, you might have heard about the Elantra N and wondered what the difference is between this vehicle and the Elantra. Well, today, we’re going to find out.
Performance
The Hyundai Elantra, as it has for many years prior, operates with the use of an economical four-cylinder engine. This is to enhance fuel economy with the aid of a CVT (continuous Variable Transmission.) This powertrain is highly effective in the stop-and-go traffic patterns that often accompany city driving. The Hyundai Elantra N, on the other hand, is geared more toward performance. The Elantra AND utilizes the same transmission but is powered by a 1.6L turbocharged engine that generates 276 pines of horsepower. Choosing which one works better for you all depends on whether you favor practicality or performance.
Interior Motives
As with the performance aspect of both vehicles, the interior of the Elantra and Elantra N differ from one another. While both are inviting and contain the comfort and amenities we crave, one is built for sophistication, and the other for being practical. The Elantra features USB ports and a wireless charging pad. You also get the benefit of Bluetooth streaming and voice recognition software. The Elantra N, on the other hand, features an impressive infotainment screen that stretches out past ten inches. This interface is compatible with both Apple and Android products and has built-in navigation. A refined instrument cluster is made for drivers with performance in mind.
Which Elantra is Better?
Determining which Elantra is the better choice is a subjective one. If you’re looking for a method of transportation that will be inexpensive to insure and maintain and also cut fuel costs, the Elantra will be more than adequate for what you need. But, if you’re in the market for performance and sophistication, spending a little more to acquire the Elantra N might be the best purchase you make in 2023. Both are backed by extensive warranty coverage and have a track record of being reliable and safe.
