Performance isn’t explosive like electric cars, but it’s definitely fun. It comes with a 2.0T engine, front-wheel drive, 276 horsepower, and a dual-clutch transmission. There’s a slight delay when you first hit the gas, but then you get a powerful engine sound and a subtle crackle that really brings the driving experience to life. Compared to EVs, this one has character—EVs are fast, but soulless. It has a solid chassis: MacPherson struts in the front, multi-link suspension in the rear, and 19-inch Michelin wheels. The car feels very planted and handles the road well, even though it’s still comfortable enough for daily driving. I haven’t tested it on rough roads yet, though. On the street, it moves like a toy—just a slight turn of the steering wheel and it changes direction easily. The grip in corners, even at high speeds, is impressive. I actually started enjoying overtaking! The interior is similar to a regular Elantra, but the steering wheel has a sporty look, and the bucket seats are awesome—suede and leather with special stitching. No ventilation or electric adjustment here—it’s built for a pure sporty feel. The display is a bit small, and the font is tiny, but it’s packed with race-oriented features. Unfortunately, there’s no CarPlay support. Fuel consumption is about 13L/100 km, which is acceptable for a performance car. The tank is only 47 liters, which some people might find small. It runs on 92 octane, but for peak performance, 95 is better. The car is smart enough to adapt to the fuel quality over time. Notable Features: NFC car unlocking — supports Apple Watch and Samsung devices. If you leave your phone on the wireless charger, the screen reminds you. KRELL sound system with 8 speakers and an amplifier. Red button adds +10 horsepower for 20 seconds.
