2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport Exterior and Interior Walkaround 2017 Detroit Auto Show

2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport VIEW 19 PHOTOS SHARE TWEET After a foreign-market tease, where the U.S.-market Elantra’s Korean twin gained a turbocharged Sport model earlier this year, Hyundai has finally unveiled the Sport headed for our shores. As you’d expect, just as our Elantra sedan is the same as the Korean-market Avante, our Elantra Sport is pretty much the same as the Avante Sport, and that’s exciting news if you’ve been eagerly waiting for a sportier Elantra. We’re not sure how many buyers are holding their breath for an Elantra with an injection of extra spice, but the Sport will slide in just below the hottest compacts, cars such as Volkswagen’s GTI, Honda’s forthcoming next-gen Civic Si, and Ford’s Focus ST. Okay, yeah, the Veloster Turbo is a sport-compact Hyundai already available to U.S. customers, but it’s weird-looking, has asymmetrical doors, and isn’t very good to drive.
