The Hyundai Elantra N is a powerful machine. The four-door performance car has been praised for its DCT, but can it match the similarly powerful Honda Accord in straight-line racing?
Of course, I can. Actually, this drag race is a mismatch. The Elantra N, with its turbocharged 2.0 liter, can produce up to 276 horsepower (206 kilowatts) and 289 pound-feet (392 Newton-meters) of torque. However, the N Grin Shift (NGS) button on the steering wheel momentarily provides excess thrust to produce 286 hp (213 kW).

In comparison, the Honda Accord in its top-spec model is also powered by a 2.0-liter turbo. This four-banger engine produces 252 hp (188 kW) and 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) of traction. Adding to the fact that the Accord is heavier than the Elantra N by 170 pounds (77 kilograms), you probably know which one wins the drag race and rolling race.
Come to think of it, who is the real rival of the Hyundai Elantra N? Looking at the Honda lineup, the Civic Si and its 1.5 liter turbo are slightly inferior to the Elantra N, especially if you look at the output.
The Civic Type R will be the best contender against the Elantra N. We’ve seen the Civic Type R come out against the Elantra N in drag races before. Despite the power advantage of the red badge Civic, the Hyundai sedan with the N badge proves its worth compared to the HT hatchback.
With the next-generation Honda Civic Type R just around the corner, can it take the crown back from the Hyundai Elantra N? Only time will tell but for now, we can wait for the Civic Type R to debut in the US, albeit in camouflage, on July 1.
