The 2017 Hyundai Elantra SR Turbo brings meaningful performance upgrades to the Elantra lineup. The 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine is shared with the i30 SR and produces 150 kW of power and 265 Nm of torque, a substantial step up from the naturally aspirated 2-litre unit in the standard Elantra.
Beyond the engine, the SR Turbo is visually distinct from the regular Elantra, with exterior details that signal the sportier intent. The interior also receives SR-specific elements that reinforce its position as a driver-focused model within the Elantra range.
For buyers who wanted an Elantra but found the standard model too sedate, the SR Turbo offers a compelling solution. It adds performance without requiring a step up to a larger or more expensive vehicle, and it competes with the sporty versions of the Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3.
