2024 Hyundai Elantra launched in North America

Hyundai has launched the Elantra and Elantra N in North America.

The cars receive cosmetic and mechanical updates, including a new engine.

The Elantra gets a new two-piece grille along with sleeker DRLs, giving it a wide stance.

At the rear, the Elantra gets a diffuser and the design language is carried on.

The interior gets soft touch materials, a 4.2-inch instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment system with Bose speakers and more.

Safety features include side airbags for the rear and haptic feedback on the steering wheel for select warnings as standard.

The Elantra N gets similar design updates but a black grille with the N logo, 19 inch wheels, rear spoiler, and side sills.

The infotainment system and instrument cluster are the same, however, the Elantra N gets bucket seats.

Hyundai has tweaked the steering, suspension, and electronics to make the Elantra N handle better.

The 2024 Elantra's engine options include a 2.0-litre turbo, 2.0-litre NA, 1.6-litre turbo, and a 1.6-litre hybrid.

Hyundai says that the new 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine was made specifically for the Elantra N.
