Finally another picture of the near Hyundai Elantra Sport is now on the internet and with a different camouflage, with just the vynil to disguise the shape of the car, and new details are revealed.
Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors are gradually expanding their turbo engine-mounted lineups. Compared to natural inhalation engines, turbo engines can generate stronger power since it increases output by forcefully increasing the amount of air the engine inhales.
According to industry sources on April 10, Hyundai Motor plans to release a Avante (as it is named in South Korea) high-performance model at the end of this month. The model will be mounted with a gasoline 1.6-liter Turbo-GDi engine.
In harmony with a seven-speed dual clutch DCT, the Elantra Sport model is believed to have realized a maximum output of 200 horsepower and a maximum torque of 27.0 kg.m.
The Elantra Sport will come with a body kit, more agressive front & rear bumpers, new LED DRL lights, exclusive 18″ alloy wheels, sporty seats with two-tone upholstery as well as a dual exhaust pipe.

14 commentsA 1.6t with 200hp and a DCT? That would be a wild disappointment since the Veloster has had this combo for years already and the Kia Forte has also had the 1.6T for several years. 200hp isn't much "sport" these days when the Focus ST has over 250. If it's already a struggle to justify a $26k 200hp Veloster vs a Focus ST, how's a 200hp Elantra Sport going to make any sense? It needs the 2.0T at least. I thought the Hyundai N division was bringing the heat, not just the warmth.
This is just the Sport trim and not an N-division performance line.
This is just to spicy things up on the sedan model but has nothing to do with the N Performance.
This is stupid, if I purchase a fully loaded Elantra they best give me the best of everything the have.
it will be a less boring Elantra!
I was talking in reference to the 1.6T that the sport will have couple with the DCT. The current Elantra Limited makes around 148hp. There's no reason for that not to be the main power plant on the limited.
Good point with that! And i know for canada Hyundai is not planning at all to bring the 1.4TGDI ECO version in high end models and i have big doubt for the sport version 1.6 T Gdi to come in Canada.
The Elantra Sport is coming to Canada.
as good as the crappy Veloster!
We heard it'll come with rear independent suspension, if thats the case for sure it's an improvement for what will come next.
Why they give you something they don't have???
Wow! Why are you making me read all of this lol
That they have "pulled off" anything with the Genesis is very arguable. It's a very good car, no doubt, one worthy of even more praise than it gets, but it's not particularly unique, and I don't think it's very memorable. It certainly isn't collectible.
Why not to talk about Korean Supercar like the Spirra GT 270!
