Even though it was introduced later than the Kia K3, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, MG5, Beijing U5, and possibly only earlier than the Mazda3, the Hyundai Elantra stands out in the C-segment sedan market with its sporty style and confidence to make a difference.
Finding a Unique Path with Confidence
When you look at the market and consider all the options like the K3 from Korea, the Japanese trio Civic – Mazda3 – Corolla, or the new Chinese duo MG5 – Beijing U5, you’ll notice that most brands are developing similar products.
The trend is to offer sedans that meet the customers’ needs in terms of size (C-segment), complete equipment, fuel efficiency, durability, and active safety packages. However, the Hyundai Elantra 2022 N-line takes a different route and aims to captivate customers with an exciting product.
The car features a youthful and dynamic design that follows Hyundai’s modern trend. It combines unique and sporty elements with a touch of European flair. The “gentle farming” powertrain and transmission system have been replaced with a more powerful combo that ignites the enthusiasm of car enthusiasts.
The car’s equipment is meticulously designed to maximize comfort and interior space. Moreover, the driving experience is completely different from the previous “emotionless Korean steering wheel,” thanks to improvements in the platform, suspension system, and electric power steering.
With its beautiful design, spacious interior, excellent driving performance, and abundant features, the Hyundai Elantra N-line is a very attractive and unique Korean car in the Middle C-segment among other Korean models in the Vietnamese market. It offers a sporty experience suitable for everyday driving.
Youthful Design with Impressive Sportiness
In 2022, even well-known Japanese models like the Corolla have actively transformed their appearance, and the Korean models are no exception. The 2022 Elantra’s design stands out with its freshness and a touch of rebellion hidden in bold and dynamic lines.
The N-line version features air intakes instead of fog lights, 5-spoke wheels with a two-tone design, sporty 18-inch wheels with a black body, angular design, black side covers, dual offset exhausts, and reverse triangle emergency brake lights in the rear bumper. The rear trunk also stands out with a horizontal LED strip that runs along the body, resembling a “bee-waist bottom.” The trunk lid flutters like a duck wing, combined with a coupe-style C-pillar design.
The sporty vibe is evident in every exterior detail, making a strong visual impact. It’s not just a beautiful car with no substance. The Hyundai Elantra 2022 N-line is a sports car that offers an enjoyable driving experience, along with convenient features for everyday use.
Youthful and Convenient Interior
In the C-segment sedan market, the Hyundai Elantra 2022 meets the needs of ordinary customers with its spacious interior and ample amenities. It features dual central screens with Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, wireless charging, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, sports leather seats, electronic parking brake, air vents and charging ports for rear seats, and more.
Unlike many other models, Hyundai Elantra 2022 does not come with a sunroof. However, this is an advantage for many customers in the Vietnamese market. The sunroof has long been a controversial feature in Vietnam due to the hot and humid climate, frequent rainfall, and high air pollution.
As a C-segment sedan, Hyundai Elantra 2022 N-line fully satisfies the ordinary users’ requirements with its spacious cabin and modern equipment.
Inside the car, the steering wheel is complemented by quick shift paddles, a compactly designed gear lever, and a driving mode adjustment button placed in a unique position behind the steering wheel, allowing the driver to operate easily. To enhance the overall experience, the Hyundai Elantra 2022 N-line features contrasting red accents on the black leather seats.
A Sporty Driving Experience Like No Other
The Hyundai Elantra 2022 N-line offers a driving experience that sets it apart from all other Korean and C-segment sedan models. When you step inside the cabin and start the engine, you won’t notice any major differences. However, when you switch to sport mode and gently press the accelerator, the RPM jumps up, and the exhaust responds enthusiastically.
As you shift gears and accelerate, the Elantra N-line swiftly responds to every pedal stroke. It takes off quickly, emitting a throaty sound that adds to the excitement of driving a sporty car.
At low RPMs, the 7-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission surprises with its sharpness and agility, which is uncommon for this type of gearbox. The smooth acceleration provides a thrilling experience for passengers, especially for young drivers who enjoy speed.
At medium RPMs, the dual-link independent rear suspension system delivers precise steering response and allows the driver to feel every detail of the road surface. This is an incredible improvement for a Korean car, considering the previous reputation for a “rattling” suspension system and dull electric power steering.
Completing the performance package, the Hyundai Elantra 2022 N-line features large-size brake discs that provide firm and reliable braking power.
Diverse Versions and Attractive Prices
In addition to the N-line version aimed at customers who seek a sporty driving experience, the Hyundai Elantra 2022 is available in three other versions with two engine options: 1.6 and 2.0 naturally-aspirated GDI. Each variant is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
With these regular versions, customers can still choose a C-segment sedan with a youthful design, a full range of amenities, and a sturdy frame system.
What sets the Hyundai Elantra apart from its competitors is the attractive price range, ranging from 599 to 799 million VND. This makes it difficult for Japanese rivals like the Civic and Mazda3 to compete.
In conclusion, the Hyundai Elantra 2022 has successfully established itself with a youthful design, spacious interior, abundant amenities, and an exhilarating sporty driving experience. The attractive price adds another allure to this model. It’s clear that the Korean brand has made comprehensive and meticulous changes to dominate the market.
