When the Hyundai Elantra 2019 Sport makes its debut later this year, there will be no changes in powertrain options. Other trims don’t have a new engine as well, still, the Nu 2L MPI Atkinson cycle that delivers 147 HP or the Kappa 1.4L Turbo-GDI that puts out 128 HP that will be responsible for the power.
The Sport trim, the fastest Elantra, comes featured with the door trim garnish, sport instrument cluster, flat-bottom leather-coated steering wheel, leather front seats, paddle shifters, and revised trim headliner.
