Elantra N starting to look more attractive than the new wrx

I'm glad Hyundai is giving the driver the option to actually turn off the artificial engine noise.

Could you imagine if they made an AWD Elantra N? It would slay the WRX.

I own a Veloster N and love it. Hyundai nailed this car.

I'm a Honda fan boy but I literally might go the Elantra N over the 10gen type R and for sure over the 11gen. It looks like the future.

The veloster front end is much better. The elantra front end is gross.

[ELP]

I like cars that have polarizing designs. And the Elantra is SOO stylish.

Imagine if the Elantra was the hatch (GT Version) that was offered a few years back 😳.

[Pika_Gabe]

Guess I'm just weird, but analog gauges are cooler to me.

[Joseph-xjex]

I'm impressed. Hyundai is killing it!

looked at GR86, Megane RS280, Honda Civic Type R, I30N Hatch, 2022 WRX, GR Yaris and I have to say, this Elantra N was on another level. Corning, handling/suspension and the the noise. 245/35R19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on a Hyundai? An Audi RS3/A45 AMG have 235/35r19. Its a complete package poor man's BMW M3.

Hope North America gets a sunroof option for the Elantra N and Kona N. Disappointing omission in the Veloster N since South Korea gets a sunroof in theirs.

Thanks for not racing them like we all expected

[miatand]

Both lovely designs with top notch performance. I'd take both without hesitation.

If only the Elantra had the Veloster front end..

[marcypink]

I'm sold on the Veloster n all day

[tcr-watcher]

Great Video, I would really like to see those two in Europe as well, especially the Elantra N

As someone who has driven both cars several times(6 speed manuals) and a fan of both, I have to say the VN is the better performing car when it comes to cornering and acceleration. For whatever reason the EN struggles to keep the power down and suffers from a lot of wheel hop. The VN also has some but to a much much lesser degree in my experience. With that said, even though I do dig the older (6 o clock) analog style gauges in the VN, the EN interior is overall nicer place to be with a pretty badass infotainment system. Again I’m a fan of both vehicles at the end of the day.

How does the transmission on the DCT model work when in SPORT or N Mode, as far as shifting throughout the rev range? Is it left entirely to the driver to upshift and downshift at any desired point throughout the range (as if driving a true manual transmission), or does the onboard computer interfere with driver input at certain revs if no input is detected from the driver?
