About Elantra

The Elantra is Hyundai's compact sedan, a car that has done more than almost any other to change how people think about the brand. It offers a lot of car for the money, with generous standard equipment, a long warranty and a design that refuses to be boring. The current generation is all sharp creases and triangular surfaces, a look that stops people in parking lots, whether they like it or not, and its range runs from frugal commuter to genuinely fast sport sedan.

The Elantra first appeared in 1990, sold as the Lantra in some markets, and over the decades it grew from a basic economy car into a mainstream rival for the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. The current generation arrived for the 2021 model year with bold styling, a roomy cabin and a hybrid version that delivers excellent fuel economy. The Elantra N, with a turbocharged engine, a manual gearbox option and a dual-clutch automatic, quickly became one of the most entertaining affordable sport sedans on sale and a favorite of track-day drivers.

The Elantra competes with the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Kia K4, Mazda3, Nissan Sentra and Subaru Impreza. Its strengths are value, efficiency and features; its weaknesses, according to critics, include some cheap interior materials and road noise in base versions. The N has spawned special versions such as an all-black Monochrome edition sold in some markets, along with TCR touring-car racers that carry the badge into motorsport and give the brand a direct link between showroom and racetrack. Few compact sedans can claim that kind of breadth, from a hybrid that sips fuel to a track car with a rev-matching manual.

Interest is building around the next-generation Elantra and its N variant, with renderings and spy shots offering hints of what comes next, and with enthusiasts hoping the manual gearbox and the turbocharged engine both survive the transition. Coverage includes reviews of the sedan, hybrid and N, special editions, pricing changes, recall notices and sales results, along with comparisons that test whether Hyundai's value-packed compact can still undercut its Japanese rivals while keeping its daring styling and enthusiast credentials intact.
