Interior and Tech
A superbly well-rounded compact car, the Hyundai Elantra offers roominess, practicality, and efficiency for an excellent value proposition. Plentiful passenger space, cozy seats, and attractive, modern styling make the cabin a pleasant place to pass the mile. It also offers a variety of desirable comforts and conveniences, including dual-zone automatic climate control, proximity keyless entry, heated seats, a sunroof, and quality leatherette or leather upholstery.
The Elantra comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. A 10.25-inch touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster are optional for the Elantra SEL and included in higher trims. But no matter which tier you choose, you'll enjoy the added convenience and confidence of Hyundai SmartSense, a suite of advanced driver aids including:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (monitoring and intervention)
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (alert and intervention)

Performance
The 2023 Elantra's base engine is an efficient 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque). A smartly-tuned CVT helps the Elantra earn EPA-estimated mpg ratings of 33 city, 42 highway, and 37 combined1. If you're looking for a more engaging driving experience, the Hyundai Elantra N Line trim upgrades to a 1.6-liter turbo-four (201 hp, 195 lb-ft) with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and sport-tuned suspension.
Elantra Hybrid
The standard Hyundai Elantra is impressively efficient. However, the Elantra offers a battery-assisted variant for shoppers looking to reduce fuel consumption even further. The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid is available in two trims. The Elantra Hybrid Blue is equipped similarly to the SEL trim, adding heated front seats, heated mirrors, LED taillights, dual-zone automatic climate control, and proximity entry to the standard features list. The Elantra Hybrid Limited has the same features as the gas Elantra's top-tier Limited trim, plus ventilated front seats and driver-position memory settings.
The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid is motivated by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that pairs with an electric motor to produce 139 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. A 6-speed EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission helps the Elantra Hybrid Blue achieve an EPA-estimated 53 mpg city, 56 mpg highway, and 54 mpg combined. The larger wheels and expanded features list of the Elantra Hybrid Limited reduce EPA-estimated mpg ratings to 49 mpg city, 52 mpg highway, and 50 mpg combined.
Elantra N
If you're seeking a more exhilarating compact car experience, Hyundai's N division helps unlock the Elantra's full potential. The Hyundai Elantra N is equipped similarly to the feature-filled Elantra Limited but with high-performance upgrades to sporty styling to match. A potent 2.0-liter turbo-four engine produces 276 horsepower and 289 pound-feet of torque, while performance summer tires, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, and sport-tuned suspension with active dampers provide sharp handling and driving dynamics. The Elantra N also offers a more hands-on experience with a standard six-speed manual transmission. Or you can opt for the N-tuned 8-speed Wet Dual Clutch Transmission with paddle shifters.
