Looking like the only 2 engine choices are a 1.6T & 2.0T, no non-turbo offered. 2019 had a 2.4L sans-turbo DI.
To bad that takes that car off my buy list.
I was wrong about engine choices. I think I read some early report. Clearing it up: A new 2.5L non-turbo with both DI+port injection at 191 hp is available.
Right the 2.5L is the new base 191hp, the 1.6T is supposed to be the premium engine choice.. more torque even though its 180hp
and a new turbo 2.0L? in the sonata N-Line and ~~300hp.
engine goofiness is not unheard of Jeep for example has the 3.2 pentastar with 271hp and the 2.0T with 270hp(premium choice) its about 3mpg better and 50ft-lb.
its also odd the v6 has a torque curve of a small 4 cyl, and the 2.0T looks like a diesel or V8
If hyundai would put the 2.0T in the elantra GT N-LIne .. I'd be lining up to buy it. the current 1.6T isnt bad at 200hp but 270-300hp would make a definite hot hatchback.
Their marketing for the new veloster N-line is "This is why you learned to drive a manual transmission."
Disclaimer: the marketing slogan is from memory I might have paraphrased.
