JAKARTA - After being rumored for a long time, Hyundai officially brought brand N to the Philippine market by presenting Elantra N through the 2024 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) recently.

This launch is interesting where when many manufacturers compete to present high-performance SUVs and hot hatches in the Philippines, Hyundai takes a different path by offering Elantra N which is a sedan.

Reporting from Top Gear Philippines, Friday, April 5, the car fell at one of the largest automotive events in the Philippines wrapped in a light blue color typical of the N division and decorated with aggressive striking red accents.

The model has side skirts that reduce the amount of air that gets under the car from the side as well as the rear wing which helps the aerodynamics of this sedan get better.

Developed specifically by division N, this model has a unique suspension setup offering optimal control so that it is suitable to be tested at high speed on racing tracks.

In order to support a different driving taste, the manufacturer gave him a 19-inch rim with a wide-dimensional tire providing extra grip and a special Brembo brake for high-performance cars.

Furthermore, this sporty sedan is equipped with a 2.0 liter turbo engine that can produce up to 276 dk of power. This performance is supported by dual-clutch eight acceleration transmission which provides instant acceleration.

In fact, this power can increase to 286 dk for 20 seconds with the N Grin Shift feature which provides additional performance through the front wheels. This car can run from 0 to 100 km/hour in 5.3 seconds at the highest speed of up to 250 km/hour.

For the price, Hyundai Elantra N is present in the Philippines at a price of 2.738 million pesos or equivalent to IDR 768.6 million, a fairly competitive price for high-performance sedans as well as rivals from Toyota GR86, Subaru BRZ, and Honda Civic Type R.
