The Hottest Hyundai Elantra N Finally Arrives in America

A Street Car With Racing Credentials

The Hyundai Elantra N is one of the more accessible performance cars today. It delivers more-than-decent power and handling chops at a price that keeps it within reach. However, Hyundai took that up a notch earlier this year by introducing a special TCR Edition exclusively for Canada, marking the brand’s six consecutive TCR Manufacturers’ Championships in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge. Now, the model has arrived in the US, debuting at AutoMobility LA.

For the American market, the Elantra N TCR Edition follows the same blueprint. Instead of altering the Elantra N formula, Hyundai leans deeper into its motorsports side. The TCR Edition draws heavily from the Elantra N TCR racecar, mixing functional upgrades with visual enhancements to create a sedan that looks more focused without stepping outside street-car territory.

Race-Bred Hardware on Display

The most noticeable feature is the adjustable carbon-fiber swan-neck rear wing, inspired directly by Hyundai’s competition machine. It adds both visual character and aerodynamic purpose. The lightweight gloss-black 19-inch forged wheels are designed to reduce unsprung mass and accommodate the larger TCR-specific four-piston monobloc front brake calipers paired with two-piece rotors. No additional power is employed, and it will still come with a choice between the MT and DCT.

Additional details include rear deck TCR badging, a Performance Blue exterior option, and a door puddle lamp unique to this edition. These pieces give the Elantra N a sharper attitude while keeping the proportions and basic look familiar. It’s still very much an Elantra N, just one with clearer ties to Hyundai’s motorsports program.

When Will It Become Available for Purchase

The interior keeps the core layout of the standard Elantra N but adds materials tailored to this motorsports-inspired trim. The steering wheel features Alcantara with a Performance Blue top marker. More Alcantara covers the shift knob, boot, handbrake lever, and center armrest, while Performance Blue front seatbelts add contrast. N Performance aluminum door sills round out the changes.

American buyers will be able to get the Elantra N TCR Edition starting in the first quarter of 2026. As with the Canadian run, production will be limited, and pricing will be announced closer to its US market arrival.
