Engines and Fuel Economy
147Horsepower (2.0L)
40MPG highway (up to)
Most Elantra trims use a 2.0L four-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and an Intelligent Variable Transmission. It is tuned for smooth, efficient daily driving and earns up to 40 mpg highway. If you are shopping for a new Hyundai Elantra in Colorado Springs, be sure to visit us and drive each model to discover what works best for your needs.
Every Elantra is front-wheel drive. For Colorado Springs winters, this vehicle will be more than capable of tackling tough driving conditions with all-season and winter tires. If you need all-wheel drive, compare the Elantra with the Hyundai Kona.
Elantra N Line and Elantra N: Sport Sedan Performance
201HP, N Line 1.6L turbo
276HP, Elantra N 2.0L turbo
The Elantra N Line adds a 1.6L turbocharged engine with 201 horsepower and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Sport-tuned suspension sharpens handling on curves like Highway 24 through Ute Pass.
The turbo also helps at our altitude. Colorado Springs sits above 6,000 feet, where non-turbo engines lose power in the thinner air. If you want more passing power on I-25, be sure to test drive the Elantra N Line.
For drivers who are seeking extra performance, the Elantra N is Hyundai's track-capable sport sedan. It features a 2.0L turbocharged engine achieving 276 horsepower with an optional 6-speed manual or 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. Electronically controlled suspension and upgraded brakes are built for spirited mountain drives and track days.
