Hyundai Elantra: Sleek, Smart, and Safe
Explore the categories below to discover more about the features of the Hyundai Elantra.
DESIGN
Hyundai Elantra

The Hyundai Elantra features a sleek, streamlined body with plenty of contemporary style elements and offers bold paint colours. Regardless of which of its four trims you choose, you’ll find eye-catching touches both inside and out.

Enhanced Exterior

The Elantra is marked by a variety of edgy design elements aimed at making your presence known. The “shark-nose” front end is sculpted to perfection, enhanced by dual-LED projector headlights that carve through the night with precision.

Each trim has its own wheel design, ranging from 15- to 18-inch wheels. Which of the six paint options will you choose to leave your mark? Are you a fan of timeless shades like Abyss Black or Ecotronic Grey, or will you opt for the daring Ultimate Red or Intense Blue?

Carve up highways and narrow city streets with the optimized maneuverability thanks to its strategic, compact size:

Length 4,710 mm (185.4 in.)
Width 1,825 mm (71.9 in.)
Height 1,415 mm (55.7 in.)
Turning Diameter 5.4 m (17.7 ft.)

Tight or on-street parking is made easy with the Hyundai Elantra, and its compact size is only half the equation. A standard rearview camera with dynamic guidelines projects your vehicle’s path as you back into a spot.

Reinvigorated Interior

With so much time spent travelling around town, it’s essential that your next vehicle is more like an on-road companion rather than a way to get around. The Hyundai Elantra has all the home-like amenities needed to feel like you’re relaxing on the couch rather than battling rush-hour traffic. And, just like your living space, the Elantra can be customized to meet your expectations.

PERFORMANCE
Hyundai Elantra

When considering your next daily driver, you’ll want to know it can transport you reliably from Point A to Point B. With the Hyundai Elantra, you can be confident of a capable and smooth ride that’s simultaneously fuel efficient. So, go ahead—take that road trip and enjoy kilometre after (economical) kilometre.

Pick Your Power

Everyone has their own definition of excitement. The Hyundai Elantra lets you choose how much oomph your sedan delivers by choosing one of two powertrains. This enables you to choose the output that you require. Which are you most excited about?

  • Standard 2.0L engine: 147 horsepower/132 lb-ft of torque
  • Optional 1.6L turbo engine: 201 horsepower/195 lb-ft of torque

Depending on which trim level you choose, your Elantra will either come with a Smartstream® Intelligent Variable Transmission or a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. Each delivers smooth transitions between gear ratios and quick acceleration for seamless merges onto the highway.

Drive Mode Select is standard on all trim levels and provides three modes to adjust the engine and transmission to your driving style. Smart Mode maximizes fuel efficiency, while Sport Mode increases throttle response for a zippier ride. On the days you want a balance between the two, Normal Mode delivers sporty efficiency. Which mode will you try out first?

Exceptional Efficiency

The Hyundai Elantra enables you to keep moving forward. This highly efficient sedan lets you spend more time driving to the places you love and less time at the gas station. Although there are minor variations depending on which model of the Elantra you choose, each one delivers.

Elantra Preferred & Elantra Luxury 7.7 city/5.9 hwy L/100 km*
Elantra N Line Ultimate 8.3 city/6.8 hwy L/100 km*

An optional hybrid configuration is offered for enhanced efficiency. It features an estimated 4.8 city/4.5 highway L/100 km rating for optimized efficiency.*

Thanks to its standard 47-litre (12.4 gallon) tank, you can travel over 825 kilometres (512 miles) before stopping to refuel. As a result, you’ll be able to keep moving forward and keep the pump where it belongs—in the rear view.

TECHNOLOGY
Hyundai Elantra

Adding to the allure of the Hyundai Elantra is its tech-centric nature. A multitude of standard and available tech systems ensure you and your passengers will remain connected while out on the road. Even more importantly, everyone will be well protected.

Progressive Infotainment

Whether you’re commuting to work, running local errands, or heading out on vacation, having the right soundtrack can make the trip more enjoyable. Using standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Bluetooth® with voice commands, and its 8-inch touchscreen, you can access your preferred playlist or podcast. Dual USB ports in both the front and second rows come standard, so everyone on board can “plug in.”

Raising the ante in the tech department is a variety of available upgrades, including:

  • Wireless device charging pad
  • 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation
  • Bose® premium sound system with 8 speakers

With any of these upgrades installed in your Elantra, your friends and family will ooh and ahh every time they step into the cabin.

SmartSense™ Safety

SmartSense™ is Hyundai’s network of advanced safety technologies. They use advanced monitoring technology to constantly scan your vehicle’s surroundings. When conditions are met, these systems provide alerts or may use gentle braking or steering to help keep you alert and safe. Among the many standard and available systems in the Elantra that help keep you out of harm’s way are:

  • High Beam Assist
  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction-Turning Detection
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keeping Assist

Hyundai covers all the bases. SmartSense™ ensures your time spent on unpredictable roads is smooth and serene. Once you arrive at your destination, available Safe Exit Warning keeps the protection rolling. This feature monitors the flanks of your vehicle, ensuring no vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians are passing by as you plan to open the door.
