2022 Hyundai Elantra N Line

The Elantra N?Line builds on the bold seventh-generation design, adding sporty exterior touches like gloss-black mirror caps, a small trunk spoiler, and 18-inch alloy wheels?.
Power comes from a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 201?hp at 6,000?rpm and 195?lb-ft of torque at just 1,500?rpm, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.
Performance upgrades over the base Elantra include independent rear suspension, larger brakes, stiffer tuning, and summer performance tires, contributing to sharper handling.
Though it generates engaging cornering grip, MotorTrend measured its 0–60?mph time at 8.6?seconds—respectable, but trailing rivals like the Civic Si and Jetta GLI.
J.D. Power testers noted that a week-long, 700-mile driving stint confirmed the N?Line’s balance of sporty dynamics and daily comfort at a total price around $26,690 including options?.
EPA estimates for the automatic version are 25?mpg city and 34?mpg highway, averaging around 28?mpg combined, with some manual-driver owners reporting high-30?mpg highway numbers?.
Interior upgrades include bolstered leather/cloth “N Light-Sport” seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, dual-zone climate control, and proximity key with push-button start?.
Cabin space remains practical, offering about 99.4?cu?ft of passenger volume, and a 14.2-cu-ft trunk that keeps usability intact despite the sport upgrades?.
Buyers appreciate its confident, flat cornering and direct steering, though some note a stiff ride—especially on rough roads—and the manual lacks rev-matching found in the full N model?.
With a starting MSRP around $24,350–$25,700, a 5-year/60k-mile warranty, and a fun-yet-practical package, the Elantra?N?Line offers a rewarding mix of daily comfort, lively handling, and value?.
