Features

All Elantras now come with automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and dual-zone automatic climate control as standard equipment.

Overview

Every Elantra is a veritable bargain thanks to a long list of standard equipment. The Elantra is easy to live with thanks in part to the intuitive, standard touchscreen that works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The base engine is a competent 2.0-liter inline-four. More discerning buyers should look at either of the turbocharged models.

The Elantra Eco is rated at 41 mpg on the highway, while the Elantra Sport makes a strong 201 horsepower.
