FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 14, 2019 – Complementing the performance of Elantra GT is the

announcement of the new 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT N Line trim. Elantra GT 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 Elantra GT N Line replaces the 2018 Elantra GT Sport and signals

more N Line models to come on future Hyundai products. Elantra GT N Line and the 2019 Elantra

GT are on sale now.

The 2019 Elantra GT continues to bring increased utility and enhanced driving dynamics to

the compact hatchback segment. Elantra GT 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. Elantra GT is

the best of both worlds.

“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 Elantra GT N Line takes eye-catching design elements directly from the i30 N. At the

front, the Elantra GT 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 Elantra GT 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

ELANTRA GT N LINE DRIVING EXPERIENCEAs 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, Elantra GT N Line’s multi-link independent rear suspension with larger front and rear

brake rotors improves noise, vibration harshness and driving performance. The Elantra GT N Line includes a 1.6-liter turbocharged-GDI engine with six-speed manual
