In this episode, TheStraightPipes take on the 2024 Hyundai Elantra N, a hot hatch promising thrills with its turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. However, the team encounters a frustrating hurdle right out of the gate - the elusive launch control. Despite numerous attempts, the launch control fails to engage, leaving the team scratching their heads and questioning Hyundai's oversight. The car boasts 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque, delivering a punchy performance that hints at its potential on the road.
As they delve deeper into the Elantra N's features, the team explores the customizable N custom modes, allowing drivers to tweak various settings to suit their preferences. From engine response to exhaust sound, the Elantra N offers a level of personalization that adds to its appeal. However, the wheels' design receives criticism for lacking the visual impact seen in previous models, highlighting a missed opportunity for Hyundai to make a statement. Despite this setback, the team praises the car's performance, manual transmission, and rev-matching feature, emphasizing the driving experience it offers.
The journey with the Elantra N takes an unexpected turn as the team faces challenges with the launch control system and climate control settings. After a series of trial and error, they finally manage to engage the launch control and put the car through its paces. The Elantra N impresses with its stability, responsive steering, and overall driving dynamics, standing out in a competitive field that includes the likes of the Civic Type R. Despite its quirks and shortcomings, the Elantra N proves to be a compelling option for enthusiasts seeking a blend of performance and practicality.
