What's New for the 2026 Hyundai Elantra N?
For the 2026 model year, the Hyundai Elantra N emphasizes its motorsport heritage through the introduction of the TCR Edition. This new variant serves as the headline update, bringing aggressive aerodynamics-including a massive carbon fiber rear wing-to the street-legal sedan. While the standard Elantra N retains its sharp styling, the TCR Edition adds unique 19-inch forged wheels and specialized TCR decals. The interior also receives a racing-inspired makeover, with a steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara and distinctive blue interior accents.
What Are the 2026 Elantra N Trims & Features?
The 2026 Elantra N employs a streamlined trim strategy, offering a single, feature-rich configuration. The driver-centric cockpit features N-exclusive sport seats designed for maximum lateral support during cornering. Technology is integrated via two 10.25-inch displays that provide seamless access to performance data and media. Standard connectivity includes Bluetooth® and smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®. The TCR Edition expands upon these amenities with specialized trim pieces that mirror Hyundai's professional racing cockpits.

Drivers who opt for the N 8-speed Wet Dual-Clutch Transmission gain access to N Grin Shift, which provides a 10-horsepower overboost for up to 10 seconds.
