The newly previewed Elantra Sport benefits from a variety of important powertrain, chassis and styling upgrades over the current versions.
The 2017 model is powered by a 1.6-litre turbo GDI 4-cylinder engine generating more than 200bhp of Korean horsepower and 257Nm of K-pop torque. Drivers may choose between a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission complete with paddle-shifters.
Helping to ensure the most powerful Elantra ever is also the most fun to drive, the Sport variant is exclusively outfitted with an independent multi-link rear suspension designed to elevate on-road dynamics and handling feel.
Also, the Elantra Sport is visually differentiated with unique bodywork and model-specific interior appointments such as a flat-bottomed steering wheel, sport seats and red contrast stitching.
According to Hyundai Motor USA, the Elantra Sport “demonstrates our commitment to providing drivers with compelling vehicle choices that align with their interests and reflects our own passion for cars and driving, expressing it with sharp looks, proven in-car technology, upgraded power, and fun, sporty handling.”
