The new Elantra is in dealerships at the time of this writing. With a modern interior, user-friendly technologies, and features hitting above its class, Hyundai engineers feel this new Elantra will be highly competitive in the compact car segment.
Starting at $17,150, the new Elantra costs less than the previous model year.
Elantra is assembled in both Montgomery, Alabama and Ulsan, South Korea. The Elantra’s “first premium features” include hands-free smart trunk and Clari-Fi music restoration technology, along with a host of safety features which will be mentioned later.
Outside, Elantra’s designers and engineers were successful in blending advanced styling with functional aerodynamics. Up front the Elantra has a signature hexagonal grille that speaks of character and boldness when combined with lighting signatures, which includes available HID headlights with Dynamic Bending Light System and unique vertical LED daytime running lights.
The sporty front fascia integrates functional front wheel air curtains—a component derived from the Sonata Hybrid that helps manage air flow to minimize air turbulence and wind resistance. An aerodynamic rear bumper bottom spoiler and rear decklid designed with an expanded trunk edge lowers the coefficient of drag.
Elantra has a sleek body style character line that showcases its sweeping side window silhouette and striking side profile. Available 17-inch alloy wheels and all-new LED door handle approach lights are factors rarely found in a compact car. Elantra will offer eight exterior colors, of which five are new. All these great colors will wrap a vehicle 179.9-inches long, 70.9-inches wide and 56.5-inches tall.
