Hyundai Elantra Sport 2017 - more personality, more power

The sports sedan model has been upgraded from the outside in, has an improved suspension system and will go on sale in late 2016.

Earlier this year, Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski announced plans to unveil the 2017 Elantra Sport at SEMA in November. But American customers won't have to wait long, as images of the Elantra Sport appeared on Hyundai's Korean website.

Elantra Sport 2017 has a more aggressive design than the current version, with larger air intakes at the front of the car, horizontal LED daytime lights instead of vertical. The grille is attached with a red "Sport" badge.

From the image shows, more detailed side spoilers, 18-inch alloy wheels with various designs, combined with 225/40 tires. Redesigned rear bumper, simulated diffuser and pair of chrome exhaust pipes.

Hyundai also equipped the Elantra Sport with a multi-link rear suspension. The car uses a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 201 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. Standard 6-speed manual transmission, optional 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The interior of the 2017 Elantra Sport features faux carbon fiber accents, sport seats, and a flat-bottom steering wheel. In the domestic market, Hyundai offers an extended option package with different 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, and a number of high-performance details.
