Seventh-generation Elantra (CN7, 2021–present)
2021–present
The seventh-generation Elantra (CN7) is the most ambitious Elantra yet. Launched for 2021 with a dramatic, sharply creased design on an all-new platform, it broadened the lineup with a hybrid and — for the first time — a genuine performance model in the 2022 Elantra N. With 276 horsepower (286 on overboost), a track-tuned chassis, and an available dual-clutch transmission, the Elantra N gave the once-anonymous compact a real enthusiast following.
