Fiery Crash in Hyundai's Elantra N Spec Race Points To Bad Brakes. It's the Drivers
The latest car news, reviews, and features. The Hyundai N Festival is a one-make, spec racing series in which several Hyundai N models compete for bragging rights. The 2025 season started in May at Yongin Everland Speedway in South Korea and will hold five more rounds before coming to an end in November. However, the season debut was marred by a heavy crash involving four cars and what appears to be minor injuries to the drivers. The series is divided into three classes, which more or less groups competitors by car model, performance, and modifications. The crash we're discussing here happened in the lowest, entry-level N2 class. That category features the spicy Hyundai Elantra N that we've all grown to love, though with some light modifications. Emphasis on light. The clip below is an archived live stream from the race, so it's seven freaking hours long. I've time-stamped the link to start right before the crash, but if that doesn't work, fast-forward to 4:40:35. Everything is going well until seven laps into the race. The enthusiastic camera drone pilot is closely following the battle for fourth place when the feed abruptly cuts to the No. 17 Hyundai, which appears to have run wide at a corner and crashed head-on into a tire barrier. Suddenly, however, the 17 is rammed by a black Elantra wearing the No. 42. Almost immediately, the blue-and-pink No. 76 joins the party and t-bones the 42. The 76 catches on fire for a few seconds, but the flames appear to fizzle out quickly, though it's unclear if they're fully extinguished because the camera pans right and we lose track of those two cars. By the time we get a second look at the car that first crashed, the 17, it looks like another one's gone off next to it, the No. 10. That car appears to have gone off at an angle, wedging itself between the 17 and the tire barrier. While the video doesn't show the initial crash, the subsequent collisions between the 42 and 76 are fairly heavy. It looks like they were coming into or out of a corner when they encountered those stationary vehicles. Even the commentators react with shock. I've watched this video many times, and I'm still not positive what actually triggered this multi-car crash. If you pay attention to the 17 car before it gets rammed by 42, you can tell that it already has some serious rear-end damage. So, this leads me to believe that another, unknown car triggered this crash, and not the 17. Why is that car not shown? I don't know. I'd guess that the 17 was rear-ended heavily by another competitor, and that's what sent it into the tire barrier before it got sent to hell by a couple more cars. This is where it gets tricky. To me—and the naked eye—this is another run-of-the-mill racing crash. It's a spec series with very lightly modified cars, and rookie drivers racing wheel-to-wheel on a high-speed track. Stuff like this is going to happen, and we should just be glad that no one was seriously hurt. However, if you peek at the YouTube comments—as well as this in-depth thread on Reddit—many people are pointing the finger at the N2's brakes. Specifically, the lack of upgraded brakes. Some commenters go as far as saying that insufficient braking power has been an issue at previous races, and they speculate this crash could be another instance. The official N Festival website describes the N2 category like this: 'This class boasts the highest number of participants in races, segregated into Masters and Challenges based on qualifying performance. The Avante [what the Elantra is called in Korea] N2 Cup car is equipped with safety-oriented tuning parts, offers a regular road driving experience.' Scroll down a little more, and you'll see the N2 Cup Car's specs, which lists 'N Performance 4P Front/1P Rear braking system' under the Brake category, and 'Floating type Front N performance hybrid disc / Rear 314mm disc' under Brake Disc. In the U.S., the Elantra N comes straight from the factory with ventilated rotors measuring 13.6 inches in the front and 12.4 inches in the rear, and single-piston calipers in the front and rear. That appears to be the same case in Korea, though four-piston calipers are reportedly available as an option. I emailed Hyundai to find out if these specs are the same in the Korean market Avante for current model-year cars, and if, in fact, those are the same in the N2 cup cars. A Hyundai U.S. spokesperson reached out to their counterparts in Korea, who replied to my inquiry and clarified that the American and Korean Elantra N come equipped with the same brakes, including the single-piston calipers. However, they also explained that all cars racing in the N2 class feature upgraded, race-prepped brakes. 'The Elantra N sold in the U.S. and the Elantra N sold in Korea use the same braking set, featuring single piston calipers,' a Hyundai Korea spokesperson told The Drive . 'The N2 class race car is equipped with a different motorsport-specific braking setup that features four-piston calipers, floating-type brake disc, racing brake pads, and an additional cooling system.' Hyundai's explanation clears up various claims made on the internet that N2 cars do not feature upgraded brakes. Of course, this does not absolve the automaker or brake manufacturer from any possible mechanical malfunctions or manufacturing defects, but that seems highly unlikely. After all, these are not custom applications where limited testing has been performed on the parts. Several videos are cited as examples of brake failure, such as this one, but in my opinion, as someone with above-average track and racing experience, it's nearly impossible to judge catastrophic brake failure without looking at data coming off the brakes. This video reportedly shows that, but from where I'm standing, it appears the driver was coming into the corner extremely hot. In fact, despite the driver claiming zero bars of brake pressure via the telemetry, you can hear the tires chirping from the ABS trying to mitigate the situation. Furthermore, you can see the speedo reading 168 km/h before losing control of the car, and 92 km/h before impact. I don't know about you, but slowing down from 104 mph to 57 without brakes sounds extremely unlikely. And if you look at the original video of the No. 17 crash, there aren't any skid marks on the track leading to the tire wall. This leads me to believe that my theory about the driver being rear-ended by an unknown car is likely true. Are the brakes to blame here? In this specific crash, I don't believe so. Upgraded hardware is crucial for safety, but there isn't a smoking gun here pointing directly at them. If anything, I'd ask Hyundai and the event organizers to consider running shorter races (five to seven laps instead of 12) and perhaps shorter tracks with lower top speeds. This would put less stress on the drivers and their cars. Racing wheel to wheel for upwards of 30 minutes is no easy feat . And once you factor in that these are mostly rookie drivers, it's easy to understand that unusual crashes like these, where one car ended up upside down for no apparent reason, are going to happen rather frequently.

I drove the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N for a week — here's my pros and cons
Earlier this year I drove the 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, which sells itself as a budget-friendly, fuel efficient model that's capable of achieving an EPA-estimated rating of 54 mpg combined. The only problem with the Elantra Hybrid is that it's so boring, which is why the Elantra N exists. After driving the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N for a week, it makes me forget about all the other EVs I've driven this year because it matches them in the performance department. In fact, it's one of the most fun drives I've had ever, with only the BMW i4 M50 Gran Coupe EV and Mini Cooper Countryman EV eclipsing it. Although I'm in my 40s, the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N makes me feel like I'm young again due to its sporty design, impressive driving performance, and stylish cues that make me remember the old days of my 20s when I was into sporty cars. With a starting MSRP of $34,350, it also undercuts the majority of EVs in terms of price. 2025 Hyundai Elantra N Engine 2.0L turbo GDI 4-cylinder Fuel Economy 20 mpg city / 30 mpg highway / 23 mpg combined Fuel Tank Capacity 12.4 gallons Horsepower 276 hp Wheels 19-inches MSRP $34,350 Price Tested $37,545 Since it's an all-gas powered car, combined with a 2.0L turbo GDI 4-cylinder engine that produces up to 276 hp of power, the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N isn't close to being a car known for its fuel efficiency. I'm alright with that, though. In my week's worth of driving of 119.2 miles, it averages a combined fuel economy of 23.1 mpg — which is much lower than the 39.8 mpg I got with the Elantra Hybrid or the 36.2 mpg of the Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid. But given how the Elantra N sells itself for its performance, I'm actually much more surprised by what I achieved because I was really heavy on the acceleration a lot of the time. More importantly, though, it matches the intensity and performance I get from driving EVs. Meaning, it's no slouch from a stop to getting to top speed — without much of the long buildup that your average gas-powered car delivers. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 2025 Hyundai Elantra N 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid 2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid Total miles driven 119.2 miles 182.1 miles 133 miles Average Fuel Economy 23.1 mpg 39.8 mpg 36.2 mpg Best short distance fuel economy 27 mpg 50 mpg N/A Best long distance fuel economy 25 mpg 48.6 mpg 50 mpg I still can't believe that if you strip away its rear spoiler and vibrant paint job, the Elantra N is basically the same looking car I drove with the Elantra Hybrid. The design's okay, but the added sporty cues go a long way to giving it a lot more charm. First of all, it commands attention due to its contrasting paint job — like how it incorporates the black and red accent trims all around the body. It follows the same color cues as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, but in sedan form. If I were still in my 20s and shopping around, its sporty design alone would easily get my attention. I also love how its sport-tuned suspension and low profile design makes it take tight turns and curves like a champ Like I said, the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N is one of the most fun drives I've had in the last year. Its turbocharged engine rockets the Elantra N from a complete stop to cruising speed in no time at all, matching the torquey performance typical of most EVs. I also love how its sport-tuned suspension and low profile design makes it take tight turns and curves like a champ, making it hug those corners much better than most sedans. Obviously, it's a contrast to the driving performance I got from the Elantra Hybrid, made better by its sport driving mode that makes the steering feel stiffer — while also being accompanied by a dynamic exhaust with more pops and crackles. Usually sporty cars don't give you a lot of room on the inside, but the Elantra N is an outlier because of the amount of legroom it offers. In the driver's seat, there's plenty of room for me to move back the seat — while still offering enough legroom for the person sitting behind me. If that's not enough, the trunk's also sizable to fit my electric scooter horizontally. There's a red button on the steering wheel that draws a lot of attention. I'm well aware of what it is because I pressed the same button on the Ioniq 5 N to inject extra power to its electric motor. It's a lot like the Boost Button in the 2025 Genesis GV60, which gives the Elantra N a temporary boost for 20 seconds. I tried this when I was at a complete stop and was instantly pushed back into the seat due to its intense acceleration. I also activated it at lower speeds to get a short speed burst. It's a lot like Mario Kart when you get that mushroom and use it for that extra speed burst. Unlike most cars, the Elantra N is available in just a single trim, with your choice between automatic or manual transmission. What I really like about this single trim is that it packages a lot of the features that are usually given as extras in other cars. Meaning, you get the premium Bose sound system, adaptive cruise control, rear wheel spoiler, Android Auto/CarPlay integration, wireless charging, heated side mirrors, heated seats, and advanced safety features. And yes, it comes with a sunroof as well. Being a sporty car, it makes sense for the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N to feature bucket seats. I like the small details that Hyundai adds here, like how the 'N' near the middle of the seats light up at night. However, these bucket seats are really tight — making it feel uncomfortable for longer rides. I'm not a big person, but due to how these bucket seats flare out on the sides, it makes me feel very constricted. I just wish they were a smidge flatter around the side to make it feel less tight. Although it packs a lot of features, I'm surprised that it has manual seats. While the leather-strapped steering wheel and leather seats with Alcantara accents are nice touches, the rest of the interior feels and looks a bit flat — due in part to how it's dominated by a lot of hard plastic. I was hoping for additional small details to distinguish it over the Elantra Hybrid's dashboard, but it doesn't do a whole lot to match the sporty style of its body. If I could somehow age backwards to be my 20-year old self again, this is one I'd consider buying. I didn't think that the Elantra could ever be this fun to drive, but the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N shows how it can transform Hyundai's entry-level model and make it cool in so many ways. For the $37,545 sticker price attached to the automatic transmission I've tested, it's certainly much cheaper than the average EV — especially compared to the $66,200 price Ioniq 5 N. Car enthusiasts will also love all the customization that the Elantra N offers, which isn't something you don't see often to get the drive and handling to your liking. My days of riding sporty cars as my daily driver are behind me, but if I could somehow age backwards to be my 20-year old self again, this is one I'd consider buying.

2024 Hyundai Elantra N at Lightning Lap 2025
From the March/April 2025 issue of Car and Driver. Class: LL1 | Base: $34,850 | As Tested: $35,320 Power and Weight: 276 hp • 3242 lb • 11.7 lb/hp Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S; 245/35ZR-19 (93Y) HN The Elantra N's appearance at VIR this year constitutes a Lightning Lap mulligan. When we had an Elantra N at the 2023 running of our track event, we rued that Hyundai hadn't sent a second set of tires, so we set its official time on well-worn rubber. We posited that a fresh set of running shoes would improve the N's lap time by more than a second. Hyundai took us up on our offer and sent another six-speed-manual version of its compact sports sedan, this time with the extra rubber needed to set the fastest possible lap. The 2024 N we drove is essentially the same as the 2022 model we ran last time but with a handful of minor updates aimed at making it more trackworthy, including urethane rear-suspension bushings, a revised front fascia claimed to improve engine and brake cooling, and new forged wheels that reduce unsprung mass by a claimed 33 pounds. As to that prediction, we were, um, close. The N's 3:06.4 lap time was 0.9 second quicker than before, with the added grip of the fresh rubber showing in Turn 1, where we recorded a peak of 0.97 g versus 0.95 for the older car. The N was quicker this year in all but the final sector and zipped 0.4 second quicker through Sectors 2 and 4, which zigzag through multiple lefts and rights. Its improved time came despite lower straight-line velocity—mysteriously, its 129.0-mph top speed was 4.9 mph down on the older N's. Oh, and to put its lap time into perspective, it's a half-second quicker than the 518-hp Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG we ran in 2011. Nothing about the Elantra's basic nature changed since we pushed its limits two years ago. It remains great fun to sling around VIR thanks to sharp steering, approachable handling limits, and strong brakes—as happy on the track as it is fun on the street.

The Ioniq 5 N Isn't Moving in Big Numbers, But Hyundai Says It's 'Selling Well'
The electric hot hatch known as Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is approaching the one-year anniversary of its sales launch in spring 2024. It's won a whole lot of critical praise, including our 2025 Performance EV of the Year award for the under-$100,000 category. Clearly, the goods are there inside what's one of the first high-performance EVs designed with the racetrack in mind — but are enthusiasts responding by taking them home? Unfortunately, Hyundai does not individually break out Ioniq 5 N sales from the Ioniq 5 model as a whole, so an exact figure is not possible. When queried, though, senior manager of product planning Mike Evanoff let on that the proportion of Ns sold are, at most, one-twentieth of the electric crossover's total volume. 'It was never intended to be a huge mix,' Evanoff tells Road & Track. "So it is less than 5% and below... but yes, it's selling well, and it's a very niche product.' Let's do some quick math. The Ioniq 5 N went on sale in Q2 last year, and Hyundai sold a total of 37,578 Ioniq 5s from Q2 through the end of 2024. If around 5% of those were N models, that'd put 2024 sales just under the 1900 mark. Considering that Evanoff suggested the proportion of Ns was 5% 'and below,' however, the actual number of sales could be well below that, perhaps dipping closer to 1500 than 2000 for the year. But Hyundai considers those numbers 'selling well' for the time being – check out the best-selling sports cars of 2024 numbers here for comparison. It's also consistent with the sales breakdown of its other performance model, the Elantra N. Just like the Ioniq 5 N, Evanoff says the Elantra N accounts for a portion around/below the 5% mark. Of course, the Elantra sells in far greater numbers; we'd approximate Elantra N sales to be right around 5500 for the same timeframe. Don't be too surprised at such a disparity between the two, though. An Elantra N stickers for $35,100 and the Ioniq 5 N for $67,475, making the former far more accessible. In addition to overall sales, we asked about what sort of cars people are swapping from when they buy the Ioniq 5 N. 'A lot of it, it's coming from you know either higher horsepower cars or just pure ICE cars,' Evanoff starts. 'This is their first EV, but they want a performance EV.' We'll see how this plays out in time, but it seems Hyundai is feeling optimistic about the Ioniq 5 N's U.S. reception so far. But the brand isn't planning to let the hot hatch crossover stand still in terms of updates while buyers take them in; Evanoff tells us the 2026 model year will see the 5 N's transition to the North American Charging Standard, along with the rest of the Ioniq 5 lineup that makes the switchover for 2025.
