The Hyundai Elantra N Line has finally been unveiled almost 5 months after the latest 7th generation Elantra sedan made its world debut. The sportier version gets visual as well as performance enhancements that distinguish it from the regular Elantra range. The Elantra N Line rivals against the likes of Honda Civic Si and has some decent figures to back its impression.
