Finally someone stuck the one thing on a wrong wheel car that can make it competitive, an LSD!!! Nice work Hyundai, and it doesn't look like an autobot sex toy, cough cough Civic Type R cough cough.
Finally? Mini did that from 2005 on their R53. Cobalt SS had an option. Mazdaspeed3 had one too. Neon SRT-4 could option one. Even the MS Protege could get one. Some foreign makes had options for them too (Alfa had an option on the later 3.2 V6 cars)
Nice that Hyundai gives it to their hot hatch. All higher hp FWD cars should have them as standard IMO.
Civic Si and both the Ford Fiesta/Focus never had one and it was a travesty.
You're joking, right? 8th gen and 9th Civic Si had a limited slip diff. I'm not sure about the current generation. But I know sure as hell that mine had Torsen limited slip.
The Honda Civic Si has a Helical limited slip differential. As mentioned the GTI, Golf R come with eLSD much like this Hyundai. I'd assume the Civic Type R has one as well as the Focus RS, but not sure about the Fiesta ST or Focus ST.
No, don't mistake the "eLSD" term for the purely electronic system in those VW products. The Veloster N has a highly-sophisticated multi-plate clutch-type limited slip differential with electronic control, hence the term eLSD. It's still very much a mechanical system, more robust than the Torsen-type units in competitors, but with precise control linked into the vehicle's overall performance management software.
The VW GTI performance pack is a multi-clutch pack LSD, electronically controlled.
Has been available since the MkVII in 2015. The brake based fake LSD is what you get unless you fork out for the PP. In the US, you could get it on the lesser GTIs as an option. Not available in Canada unless you buy the most expensive version of the GTI. My pal has it in his for the overall princely sum of $37K.
You must have missed it when it was introduced. Here's an explanation of how it works from 2014 - it's called the VAQ in Europe:

Too bad as others have said they chose to introduce the wacko-looking Veloster with the N goodies, when it would have been much more apprpriate on the Elantra GT (i30).
