Anybody did engine flushing and aircon flushing  during servicing? It’s chargeable and counter staff told me must do. Not cheap though.

If new car don’t need do, it’s just sales tactic. Save the money.

If must do they will have include in the checklist or to do list and then charge you the $$$. There will be no option and asking you want or don't want.

2021 Hyundai Elantra N Line Exterior Design Fully Revealed

Ever since Hyundai unveiled the new Elantra back in March, it promised a performance N Line version would follow. The company reminded us of its sporty intentions at the end of April by releasing images of a camouflaged pre-production prototype. Fast forward to current today, the disguise is coming off as the South Korean brand is showing off its answer to the VW Jetta GLI and Honda Civic Si.

Quite a lot of changes have been made to visually distinguish the N Line of the compact sedan from the lesser trim levels, starting off at the front where the Cascading Grille has a more aggressive look. The bumper has been redesigned and now it accommodates beefier air intakes with a trio of ornaments shaped like a boomerang.

A closer look at the side profile reveals a shiny new set of 18-inch alloy wheels with a two-tone finish along with a lowered ride height courtesy of a stiffer suspension setup. The side skirts appear to be more prominent than those of the standard Elantra and the mirrors caps appear to have a darker finish.

Moving at the back, the most obvious upgrade is the dual exhaust system integrated into the redesigned bumper now hosting a pseudo diffuser. A subtle trunk lid spoiler serves as another reminder this isn’t your run-of-the-mill Elantra.

Hyundai is being coy on details regarding the oily bits, but the N Line could have a turbocharged 1.6-liter gasoline engine borrowed from the Elantra GT N Line. In the five-door hatchback, it’s good for 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet (264 Newton-meters) of torque. We do know an automatic transmission is planned, and we’re hoping the Elantra GT’s six-speed manual will also be offered to please both worlds.

Expect a full reveal to take place in the coming weeks or months ahead of a launch in the United States by the end of the year. To give you an idea about how much it could cost, VW wants $26,245 for a base Jetta GLI while Honda is asking $25,200 for a Civic Si Sedan.

Thanks for the inputs. The service guy was really persistent, so I thought someone here might have gotten that. I will just save the money then. Thanks.

N-Line exterior definitely looks nicer 

[teomingern]

Wow! That's one aggressive grille! The car looks so much better than the normal one...

Just like Honda Fit / Honda Jazz or Honda HR-V / Honda Vezel. It’s the same car just different name for marketing in different region.

Then in Singapore, we have Avante & Elantra, so they are 2 different model which carry by the AD, so which very confusing to follow.

cos KMC felt that the FL 6th Gen Elantra looked too different, so they decided to call it Avante. Futhermore, from marketing standpoint, Avante was once the best selling model in Singapore before, they wanted this name to carry the legend.

Think elantra is the only name they called it in sg since they started selling this model from the 90s until 2006 when they decided to call it avante. This is also the era when avante was the best selling model in sg, think mainly due to low coe between 2006-2009. Then they changed the name to back to elantra again in 2011 until 2018. Then from 2019 they called it avante again. 

I always find korea cars never able to fix on a particular name for their car model, keeps changing here and there. You see a typical example with the confusing model name is Kia cerato?!

Agreed totally. For KIA,  sometimes call KIA Forte, later called K3, then now called Cerato.
