2020 Hyundai Elantra

Overview

Hyundai has outdone itself with the Elantra. Both stylish and reliable, this car is for those who want a vehicle that will last. The Elantra has also scored big points in safety, becoming a 2019 IIHS Top Safety Pick when paired with optional Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and LED headlights. Offering five trims, everyone will be able to find an Elantra that checks everything off their wishlist.

The Perfect Ride For…

People who want a polished car that emanates luxury at an unbeatable price. The Elantra has proven itself time and time again in terms of safety, durability, and technology. This vehicle offers many impressive features to help you access navigation, music, or even phone calls while behind the wheel. Hyundai wants you to stay safe and not mess with your phone while driving, so they’ve made it easier than ever to access these features from the large touchscreen in your vehicle. By winning awards for safety and offering technology that no other car in its class offers, the Elantra stands out from the crowd.

Driving and Handling

The Elantra has an impressive array of models to choose from. The SE, SEL, Value Edition, Eco, Limited, and Sport. Starting at $17,450,* the Elantra SE has 147-hp and a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. It offers quite a lot of power for such a great price, but not at the cost of fuel efficiency. The top of the line Sport trim has even more to offer: a 201-hp, 1.6 L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine.  The multi-link independent rear suspension helps drivers handle the Sport like a breeze.  The 4-wheel disc brakes have larger front brake rotors to allow for a faster and safer stop.  

Key Features

Technology

Modern connectivity is a must and Hyundai doesn't disappoint. The Elantra comes with an 8-inch multimedia navigation system and rearview camera, which allows you to access Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ with ease. It’s much safer to use your favorite apps on the touchscreen instead of your phone and it allows easier access to navigation and entertainment. The rearview camera comes with parking guidelines, which help you see where your car is heading when backing up or parking. The Elantra also has a wireless device charging station, so you can place your QI-compatible mobile phone on the pad to charge while you drive. This vehicle even has new technology in the trunk, with an optional hands-free trunk release. The trunk opens automatically when it senses the Proximity Key nearby for more than three seconds, making the Elantra the first vehicle in its class to offer a hands-free smart trunk.

BlueLink®

The Elantra has BlueLink® available and buyers even get a free subscription for three years after buying their car. Through BlueLink® you can have control of your vehicle even when you’re not in it. If you can’t remember if you locked your car or not, you can just open the app out and check, no matter how far away you are. Through this app, you can lock or unlock your car from anywhere. You’ll also be able to start the engine with climate control already set, so you can warm it up or cool it down before you even get in your vehicle. You can access Bluelink® through your car, smartphone, smartwatch, Amazon Echo, or Google Home.

Alternative Options

If you’re looking for something that offers more room, consider the Hyundai Palisade. With three rows of seating, the Palisade can fit up to 8 passengers. The Hyundai Veloster is worth checking out too; its sporty look and compact design make it a modern wonder.
