It won't make it to UK shores, but we had the chance to sample Hyundai's intriguing Elantra N saloon on US roads -
– driving the front wheels via a six-speed manual or eight-speed DCT transmission. A limited-slip differential is standard fit, as is the almost bafflingly large selection of driving modes and settings we know from European Ns.
You’re also looking at the widest tyres yet fitted to an N car – Michelin Pilot Sport 4Ss measuring 245/35/19, up 10mm on an i30 N on 19s – and today they’re working with exceedingly favourable mid-twenties temperatures, too. Fitting N’s wonderfully hugging sports bucket seats actually opens up another 50mm of legroom in the back, too. It’s a proper family car, in other words…Not least because it’s immediately a bit softer around the edges than the Ns we get on British shores.
I soon find I’ve programmed it into my chosen settings for the pale blue N button on the steering wheel. Like the i20 N, there are two of these, so you can have two ‘individual’ setups depending on just how rambunctious you’re feeling. You’ll want the exhaust sound in its mid mode or lower either way, though, to avoid some annoying piped-in acoustics.It’s about the only unnatural, annoying thing this car does.
