Hyundai Debuts First U.S. 'N Line' Model with 2019 Elantra GT Lineup

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

  • N Line is an exciting new trim level in the #Hyundai ‘N’ product portfolio
  • N Line focuses on sporty design cues and refined powertrain/chassis dynamics

Complementing the performance of #ElantraGT is the announcement of the new 2019 #Hyundai #ElantraGT N Line trim. #ElantraGT N Line is the first N Line model for the United States from #Hyundai. N Line trims add sporty design elements and refined powertrain/chassis upgrades to existing #Hyundai products. N Line is part of Hyundai’s ‘N’ product portfolio that includes the brand’s growing ultimate ‘N’ range of vehicles (Veloster N, i30 N, i30 Fastback N). The 2019 #ElantraGT N Line replaces the 2018 #ElantraGT Sport and signals more N Line models to come on future #Hyundai products. #ElantraGT N Line and the 2019 #ElantraGT are on sale now.

The 2019 #ElantraGT continues to bring increased utility and enhanced driving dynamics to the compact hatchback segment. #ElantraGT and the new N Line trim are poised to compete head-on with hatchback competitors and provide a fun-to-drive alternative to small CUVs. #ElantraGT is the best of both worlds. 

2019 #ElantraGT Changes

  • New #ElantraGT N Line added to the lineup
  • Elantra GT Sport is dropped from the lineup (replaced by the #ElantraGT N Line)
  • The entry-level #ElantraGT is a carryover model
  • Panoramic sunroof and leather seating surfaces added to 2019 #ElantraGT Style Package

“Hyundai N models satisfy the needs of performance-oriented enthusiasts with exclusive, custom-tuned powertrain and chassis applications,” said Thomas Schemera, executive vice president, #Hyundai Motor Group’s Product Planning & Strategy Division.” “N Line is designed for those buyers craving N’s sporty styling cues coupled with performance-tuned suspension upgrades, all at compelling price points.”

Design Elements

The #ElantraGT N Line takes eye-catching design elements directly from the i30 N. At the front, the #ElantraGT N Line has a lower front spoiler for increased aerodynamic efficiency and a unique N Line version of Hyundai’s Cascading Grille with a distinctive silver character line. At the side, blacked out side mirrors with turn signals, N Line badging, N Line 18-inch wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/40 R18 summer tires change the profile of the car (summer tires are only available with the manual transmission). At the rear, the unique bumper fascia further accentuates the N theme.

Standard interior trim for the #ElantraGT N Line includes:

  • Unique leather-wrapped perforated N steering wheel with metallic spokes
  • N Line leather sport seats with N logo
  • N Line gearshift features sporty metal accents and leather inserts
  • A sporty instrument cluster and instrument panel accents
  • Red stitching and accents differentiate the N Line from the standard Elantra GT

N Line Sport Seats

The N Line sports seats feature heated leather seating surfaces, N logos and red contrast stitching and side bolsters. They also keep the driver comfortable with power lumbar support and extendable seat cushions.

ELANTRA GT N LINE DRIVING EXPERIENCE

As with the exterior and interior, the driving experience has been further enhanced for N Line duty with new suspension and steering tuning, revised powertrain mounts and summer tires. Additionally, #ElantraGT N Line’s multi-link independent rear suspension with larger front and rear brake rotors improves noise, vibration harshness and driving performance.

The #ElantraGT N Line includes a 1.6-liter turbocharged-GDI engine with six-speed manual transmission or an optional seven-speed DCT with larger steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. This drivetrain produces 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. torque to meet performance and fuel efficiency needs.
