Hyundai has now revealed the newest addition to the 2017 Elantra sedan range, the Elantra Sport. This time, 2017 Elantra Sport also gets a substantial overhaul under the skin.
A few of the ways you can tell that you’re looking at an Elantra Sport and not a basic model include a blacked-out grille with horizontal LED daytime running lights, a various design within the headlight cluster, dual exhaust ports, and special alloy wheels. Inside the cabin, the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport includes a flat-bottom wheel and sport seats with red accents and “Sport” embellished on the seat backs.
There is a 1.6-liter turbo-four ranked at 200 hp and 190 lb-ft of torque, and it can be combined to your choice of a six-speed handbook transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automated. The Elantra Sport features a totally independent rear suspension instead of the torsion beam setup discovered on the SE, Eco, and Limited trims for enhanced driving characteristics.
Hyundai has gone into the fans market to mainly lukewarm impact in the past, with offerings like the Veloster Turbo Rally Edition and Genesis Coupe R-Spec. The Elantra Sport is an even milder venture into this world, forming up as more of a rival to the Honda Civic 1.5-liter turbo, that could have a six-speed manual.
Hyundai stated in a press release that the 2017 Elantra Sport will show up in the 4th quarter of 2016. More details including specifications, features, and rates, will be launched closer to the car’s on-sale date.
