The racy Elantra N, meanwhile, offers buyers the choice of a six-speed manual or eight-speed dual-clutch automated transmission. Both of these engines also forgo a manual transmission, and instead pair with either a six- or seven-speed dual-clutch automated gearbox, respectively. A more fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain that makes a peak of 139 horses is also available, as is a more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder with 201 horsepower. It pairs with a CVT, and much like its corporate cousin, the Kia Forte, this combination makes for a relatively underwhelming driving experience. A 147-hp four-cylinder serves as the sedan's default powertrain. Looks aside, the Elantra is a generally tame machine (with the exception of the rowdy Elantra N that produces north of 270 horsepower). Depending on your point of view, the Hyundai Elantra is either the best- or worst-looking compact car sold today.
