STYLE

Hyundai Elantra

If you want to break free from the norm and drive a sedan that stands out, the Hyundai Elantra offers the contemporary design elements you crave.

Breaking Free from the Mold

The Hyundai Elantra is marked by a variety of edgy design elements, including a prominent “shark-nose” front end that slices through the air with aerodynamic excellence. The front grille is flanked by dual-LED projector headlights, giving you the distinct advantage of others sensing your impending arrival even before you come into view.

Chiseled contours and curves give the Elantra a sense of sport-tuned precision. This is enhanced by the Elantra N Line, which adds trim-exclusive features like a matte-black dual-tip exhaust and a rear spoiler. No matter which trim level you choose, your Elantra will stand out, thanks to its bold color options, including:

  • Ultimate Red
  • Intense Blue
  • Fluid Metal

We recommend you get used to second looks—it will be a daily occurrence when you drive a Hyundai Elantra.

Reinvigorated Interior

The bold, modern design of the Hyundai Elantra continues once you climb into the cabin. The stripped-back dashboard design helps eliminate visual clutter while also drawing your attention to the features that matter most, like the dual digital displays.

Select trim levels include interior ambient lighting, which casts a soft glow across the dashboard, inside the cupholders, and under the front footwells. Available heated front seats enhance the driving experience by keeping muscles relaxed. And, with 99.4 cubic feet of passenger space, there’s room for your whole crew.

Hyundai Elantra Interior Dimensions
Headroom (Front/Rear) 40.6/37.3 in.
Legroom (Front/Rear) 42.3/38 in.
Cargo Capacity 14.2 cu. ft.

There’s just one thing left to decide: Who will be among the lucky crew to enjoy your new Elantra first?

PERFORMANCE

Hyundai Elantra

When considering your next daily driver, you need something reliable enough to transport you from Point A to Point B. With the Hyundai Elantra, you’ll experience smooth sailing and an added dose of fun for weekend joyrides.

Pick Your Power

No two drivers are the same, which is why the Hyundai Elantra is offered with multiple engine configurations. This allows you to choose the one that delivers the output you crave.

Horsepower 147 HP 201 HP
Torque 132 lb-ft 195 lb-ft

A standard Smartstream® Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) ensures seamless gear changes. Unlike traditional transmissions, Smartstream® (IVT) isn’t restricted to pre-determined gear ratios. Instead, the transmission is free to change as needed. The result is near-instant response time and greater capabilities when it matters most, such as merging onto a highway.

Every Day Is a New Adventure

As your mood changes, so can the Hyundai Elantra’s performance capabilities. The standard Drive Mode Select system lets you choose from three selectable modes, each of which adjusts performance benchmarks to deliver performance tailored to your driving mood:

  • Normal:?Balances performance and efficiency for a comfortable, cruising driving feel.

Adding to the allure of the Hyundai Elantra is its tech-centric nature. From cutting-edge entertainment to advanced driver-assist features, the Elantra works overtime to ensure you and your passengers stay connected and protected on the road.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ allow you to pair your smartphone to your sedan.

Standard and available features that enhance the digital experience include:

  • Dual USB front charging ports
  • Wireless phone charger
  • Built-in navigation
  • HD Radio™

The optional 8-speaker Bose® Premium Audio system makes every commute feel dynamic and immersive. In addition to the strategic speaker placement, the center channel and subwoofer amplify every note, ensuring every seat is the best seat in the cabin.

Smart Safety Features

To ensure your safety, the Hyundai Elantra adds SmartSense to every trim level. This advanced suite of driver-assist features works with your safe driving skills to keep you safe and secure. Among the many standard systems included with this suite are:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Warning
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Lane Keeping Assist/Lane Following Assist

Once you arrive at your destination, the standard Safe Exit Warning keeps the protection rolling. This feature monitors the flanks of your vehicle, ensuring no cars, bicyclists, or pedestrians are passing by as you open the door.
