What’s New on the 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT?

The 2019 Elantra GT’s main trim largely carries over from the previous model year. However, the N Line trim, which replaces the Sport trim, is all-new and offers an array of unique performance-focused features. The suspension and steering are sport-tuned, the chassis has been stiffened, and the brakes are larger. Other highlights include exclusive N Line badging and 18-inch wheels, a leather-wrapped N Line steering wheel, heated N Line leather sport seats, an N Line gearshift, and red interior stitching and accents.


Performance and Efficiency

The 2019 Elantra GT comes with two engine options. The base trim offers a 2.0-liter GDI four-cylinder engine that gets 161 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. It’s connected to a six-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic and achieves 27 mpg combined. The N Line carries a 1.6-liter turbo GDI four-cylinder engine that makes 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, it gets 26 mpg combined. With the available seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, it achieves a combined 28 mpg.

The 2019 Elantra GT’s striking hatchback looks are enhanced by 17-inch alloy wheels, a chrome and gloss black grille, and chrome window belt moldings.

The Elantra GT can also be outfitted with an optional panoramic sunroof.  


Interior Features

The 2019 Elantra GT comes standard with premium cloth seats, an 8-inch display audio system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, Bluetooth, and steering wheel-mounted controls. The base trim offers an optional Style Package that adds luxuries like heated leather seats, dual automatic temperature control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The N Line offers extra options like wireless charging, navigation, and ventilated seats. Both trims contain a generous 55.1 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded.
