Overview
Hyundai is seemingly out to please everyone with its 2026 Elantra line. The base sedan is underwhelming from a driving perspective, but it’s reasonably well equipped and affordable. Those in want of better fuel economy can get it with an optional and smooth-running hybrid powertrain, while those in need of better performance can turn to the turbocharged N Line model.
While the Elantra’s sucked-in sides and compact-car classification might lead you to believe it’s short on interior space, it’s not. The cabin is roomy, and its controls and infotainment setups are close at hand and easy to use.
Expert Tip:
If you have $35,000 to spare, the 286-hp
Elantra N
(reviewed separately) is the gem of the range, at least for enthusiasts.

What's New for 2026?
Most model-year changes for the Hyundai Elantra aren’t worth mentioning, but a new SEL Sport Premium trim replaces the SEL Convenience trim for 2026.
C/D Expert Tip:
If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years.
A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2026 Hyundai Elantra starts at $23,870 and goes up to $31,045 depending on the trim and options.
If you’re looking at the nonturbo, nonhybrid Elantra lineup, the new-for-2026 SEL Sport Premium is a good option. We expect it to improve on lesser trims with stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, heated front seats, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and a dual-screen infotainment setup. That said, we wouldn’t try to talk you out of a hybrid or N Line Elantra.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Engines:
147-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 201-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder (N Line), 1.6-liter four-cylinder with one electric motor, 139 hp combined (hybrid)
Transmissions:
continuously variable automatic (CVT), 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (N Line), 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (hybrid)
Drivetrain:
front-wheel drive
The Elantra can be had with a variety of powertrains, from an unexciting 147-hp naturally aspirated four-cylinder to a peppier 201-hp turbo four to a fuel-sipping 139-hp hybrid. (There’s also the 286-hp
Elantra N
, but we cover that model separately.)
Of these three powertrains, the turbocharged option unsurprisingly offers the best performance. It’s available exclusively in the
Elantra N Line
, which impressed us early on with its compliant ride, communicative steering, solid body control, and good front-end bite. We can’t say the same for the nonturbo Elantra. In our
comparison test of compact sedans
, it felt unsettled by minor road bumps and exhibited too much body roll, structural vibration, and brake-pedal sponginess for our taste.
We found the
hybrid
model satisfying to drive, though. Unlike other hybrid cars, which usually feature CVTs, this one has a dual-clutch automatic that actually shifts gears and, in doing so, helps to keep engine droning to a minimum.

60-mph Tests:
8.1 seconds (nonhybrid), 8.4 seconds (hybrid)
C/D
-Estimated 60-mph Time:
6.5 seconds (N Line)
In Comparison:
In our testing, the
naturally aspirated nonhybrid Elantra
hit 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, while the
hybrid
needed 8.4 seconds. We haven’t had an opportunity to test the turbocharged Elantra N Line, but we expect to clock it around 6.5 seconds, which would put it in line with the
Honda Civic Si
but behind the
Volkswagen Jetta GLI
.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
C/D
75-mph Highway Fuel-Economy Tests
:
38 mpg (nonhybrid), 48 mpg (hybrid)
EPA City Ratings
:
28-51 mpg
EPA Highway Ratings
:
35-58 mpg
The EPA estimates the Elantra with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder will earn up to 31 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. Models with the turbocharged 1.6-liter four have estimates as high as 28 mpg city and 35 highway. The thriftiest hybrid Elantra is the Blue hybrid, which is rated at 51 mpg city and 58 highway.
On our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of
our extensive testing regimen
, the
Elantra hybrid managed only a 48-mpg
result while the nonhybrid Limited with the base engine netted 38 mpg. For more information about the Elantra's fuel economy, visit
the EPA's website
.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
First Row:
The Elantra’s cabin isn’t as (literally or figuratively) edgy as its exterior, but it’s stylish and functional, if laden with hard plastics. It’s also driver-focused, with screens and buttons angled to the left and a grab handle along the right side of the console that physically separates the passenger from the controls.
Second Row:
Passenger space is generous throughout the cabin, with adult-friendly outboard seats front and rear.
Cargo Capacity:
The Elantra’s cargo hold is very usable, and it was able to fit six carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats in our testing.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Infotainment:
8.0-inch touchscreen (standard), 10.3-inch touchscreen (optional)
Connectivity:
Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility (wireless connectivity varies by trim)
Audio Systems:
6-speaker stereo (standard), 8-speaker Bose stereo (optional)
The SE and SEL Sport models feature a 4.2-inch cluster display in front of the driver and an 8.0-inch touchscreen atop the center stack, while higher-end trims get dual 10.3-inch screens, one for instrumentation and the other for infotainment. Oddly, the latter setup requires a wired connection for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions, whereas the 8.0-inch unit supports wireless smartphone mirroring, but at least the 10.3-incher has satellite radio.
The audio system varies by trim, with Limited and N Line models receiving an eight-speaker Bose stereo and all others getting a six-speaker setup.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Several desirable
driver-assistance features
like blind-spot monitoring and forward-collision-avoidance tech come standard, but shoppers will have to choose a mid- or high-level trim for adaptive cruise control.
Standard Safety Features:
automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist
Optional Safety Features:
adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist
For information about the Elantra’s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (
NHTSA
) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (
IIHS
) websites.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Elantra owners can rest easy with Hyundai's legendary 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. They also receive three years of scheduled service at no cost, which is a nice perk.
Limited Warranty:
five years or 60,000 miles
Powertrain Warranty:
10 years or 100,000 miles
Complimentary Maintenance:
three years or 36,000 miles

## **Overview**
Hyundai is seemingly out to please everyone with its 2026 Elantra line. The base sedan is underwhelming from a driving perspective, but it’s reasonably well equipped and affordable. Those in want of better fuel economy can get it with an optional and smooth-running hybrid powertrain, while those in need of better performance can turn to the turbocharged N Line model.
While the Elantra’s sucked-in sides and compact-car classification might lead you to believe it’s short on interior space, it’s not. The cabin is roomy, and its controls and infotainment setups are close at hand and easy to use.
**Expert Tip:** If you have \$35,000 to spare, the 286-hp [Elantra N](https://www.caranddriver.com/hyundai/elantra-n) (reviewed separately) is the gem of the range, at least for enthusiasts.

## **What's New for 2026?**
Most model-year changes for the Hyundai Elantra aren’t worth mentioning, but a new SEL Sport Premium trim replaces the SEL Convenience trim for 2026.
C/D Expert Tip:
**If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years.** A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.

If you’re looking at the nonturbo, nonhybrid Elantra lineup, the new-for-2026 SEL Sport Premium is a good option. We expect it to improve on lesser trims with stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, heated front seats, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and a dual-screen infotainment setup. That said, we wouldn’t try to talk you out of a hybrid or N Line Elantra.

## **Engine, Transmission, and Performance**
- **Engines:** 147-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 201-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder (N Line), 1.6-liter four-cylinder with one electric motor, 139 hp combined (hybrid)
- **Transmissions:** continuously variable automatic (CVT), 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (N Line), 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (hybrid)
- **Drivetrain:** front-wheel drive
The Elantra can be had with a variety of powertrains, from an unexciting 147-hp naturally aspirated four-cylinder to a peppier 201-hp turbo four to a fuel-sipping 139-hp hybrid. (There’s also the 286-hp [Elantra N](https://www.caranddriver.com/hyundai/elantra-n), but we cover that model separately.)
Of these three powertrains, the turbocharged option unsurprisingly offers the best performance. It’s available exclusively in the [Elantra N Line](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a34839626/2021-hyundai-elantra-n-line-drive/), which impressed us early on with its compliant ride, communicative steering, solid body control, and good front-end bite. We can’t say the same for the nonturbo Elantra. In our [comparison test of compact sedans](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a37418355/2022-honda-civic-vs-2021-hyundai-elantra-mazda-3-nissan-sentra-toyota-corolla-volkswagen-jetta-compared/), it felt unsettled by minor road bumps and exhibited too much body roll, structural vibration, and brake-pedal sponginess for our taste.
We found the [hybrid](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a37102342/2021-hyundai-elantra-hybrid-by-the-numbers/) model satisfying to drive, though. Unlike other hybrid cars, which usually feature CVTs, this one has a dual-clutch automatic that actually shifts gears and, in doing so, helps to keep engine droning to a minimum.

## **0–60-MPH Times**
- ***C/D*** **60-mph Tests:** 8.1 seconds (nonhybrid), 8.4 seconds (hybrid)
- ***C/D*****\-Estimated 60-mph Time:** 6.5 seconds (N Line)
**In Comparison:** In our testing, the [naturally aspirated nonhybrid Elantra](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a37418355/2022-honda-civic-vs-2021-hyundai-elantra-mazda-3-nissan-sentra-toyota-corolla-volkswagen-jetta-compared/) hit 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, while the [hybrid](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a37102342/2021-hyundai-elantra-hybrid-by-the-numbers/) needed 8.4 seconds. We haven’t had an opportunity to test the turbocharged Elantra N Line, but we expect to clock it around 6.5 seconds, which would put it in line with the [Honda Civic Si](https://www.caranddriver.com/honda/civic-si) but behind the [Volkswagen Jetta GLI](https://www.caranddriver.com/volkswagen/jetta-gli).

## **Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG**
- ***C/D*** **75-mph Highway Fuel-Economy Tests****:** 38 mpg (nonhybrid), 48 mpg (hybrid)
- **EPA City Ratings****:** 28-51 mpg
- **EPA Highway Ratings****:** 35-58 mpg
The EPA estimates the Elantra with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder will earn up to 31 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. Models with the turbocharged 1.6-liter four have estimates as high as 28 mpg city and 35 highway. The thriftiest hybrid Elantra is the Blue hybrid, which is rated at 51 mpg city and 58 highway.
On our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of [**our extensive testing regimen**](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a32018270/how-we-test-cars/), the [**Elantra hybrid managed only a 48-mpg**](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a37102342/2021-hyundai-elantra-hybrid-by-the-numbers/) result while the nonhybrid Limited with the base engine netted 38 mpg. For more information about the Elantra's fuel economy, visit [**the EPA's website**](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.shtml).
## **Interior, Comfort, and Cargo**
**First Row:** The Elantra’s cabin isn’t as (literally or figuratively) edgy as its exterior, but it’s stylish and functional, if laden with hard plastics. It’s also driver-focused, with screens and buttons angled to the left and a grab handle along the right side of the console that physically separates the passenger from the controls.
**Second Row:** Passenger space is generous throughout the cabin, with adult-friendly outboard seats front and rear.
**Cargo Capacity:** The Elantra’s cargo hold is very usable, and it was able to fit six carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats in our testing.

## **Infotainment and Connectivity**
- **Infotainment:** 8\.0-inch touchscreen (standard), 10.3-inch touchscreen (optional)
- **Connectivity:** Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility (wireless connectivity varies by trim)
- **Audio Systems:** 6-speaker stereo (standard), 8-speaker Bose stereo (optional)
The SE and SEL Sport models feature a 4.2-inch cluster display in front of the driver and an 8.0-inch touchscreen atop the center stack, while higher-end trims get dual 10.3-inch screens, one for instrumentation and the other for infotainment. Oddly, the latter setup requires a wired connection for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions, whereas the 8.0-inch unit supports wireless smartphone mirroring, but at least the 10.3-incher has satellite radio.
The audio system varies by trim, with Limited and N Line models receiving an eight-speaker Bose stereo and all others getting a six-speaker setup.
## **Safety and Driver-Assistance Features**
### Overall Safety Rating (NHTSA)

[View Crash Test Results](https://www.caranddriver.com/hyundai/elantra/specs#crash-test-results-consumer-information-button)
Several desirable [driver-assistance features](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g27612164/car-safety-features/) like blind-spot monitoring and forward-collision-avoidance tech come standard, but shoppers will have to choose a mid- or high-level trim for adaptive cruise control.
- **Standard Safety Features:** automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist
- **Optional Safety Features:** adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist
For information about the Elantra’s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ([NHTSA](https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings)) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ([IIHS](https://www.iihs.org/)) websites.
## **Warranty and Maintenance Coverage**
Elantra owners can rest easy with Hyundai's legendary 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. They also receive three years of scheduled service at no cost, which is a nice perk.
- **Limited Warranty:** five years or 60,000 miles
- **Powertrain Warranty:** 10 years or 100,000 miles
- **Complimentary Maintenance:** three years or 36,000 miles

## **Overview**
Hyundai is seemingly out to please everyone with its 2026 Elantra line. The base sedan is underwhelming from a driving perspective, but it’s reasonably well equipped and affordable. Those in want of better fuel economy can get it with an optional and smooth-running hybrid powertrain, while those in need of better performance can turn to the turbocharged N Line model.
While the Elantra’s sucked-in sides and compact-car classification might lead you to believe it’s short on interior space, it’s not. The cabin is roomy, and its controls and infotainment setups are close at hand and easy to use.
**Expert Tip:** If you have \$35,000 to spare, the 286-hp [Elantra N](https://www.caranddriver.com/hyundai/elantra-n) (reviewed separately) is the gem of the range, at least for enthusiasts.

## **What's New for 2026?**
Most model-year changes for the Hyundai Elantra aren’t worth mentioning, but a new SEL Sport Premium trim replaces the SEL Convenience trim for 2026.
C/D Expert Tip:
**If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years.** A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.

## **Pricing and Which One to Buy**
The price of the 2026 Hyundai Elantra starts at \$23,870 and goes up to \$31,045 depending on the trim and options.
If you’re looking at the nonturbo, nonhybrid Elantra lineup, the new-for-2026 SEL Sport Premium is a good option. We expect it to improve on lesser trims with stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, heated front seats, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and a dual-screen infotainment setup. That said, we wouldn’t try to talk you out of a hybrid or N Line Elantra.

## **Engine, Transmission, and Performance**
- **Engines:** 147-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 201-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder (N Line), 1.6-liter four-cylinder with one electric motor, 139 hp combined (hybrid)
- **Transmissions:** continuously variable automatic (CVT), 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (N Line), 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (hybrid)
- **Drivetrain:** front-wheel drive
The Elantra can be had with a variety of powertrains, from an unexciting 147-hp naturally aspirated four-cylinder to a peppier 201-hp turbo four to a fuel-sipping 139-hp hybrid. (There’s also the 286-hp [Elantra N](https://www.caranddriver.com/hyundai/elantra-n), but we cover that model separately.)
Of these three powertrains, the turbocharged option unsurprisingly offers the best performance. It’s available exclusively in the [Elantra N Line](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a34839626/2021-hyundai-elantra-n-line-drive/), which impressed us early on with its compliant ride, communicative steering, solid body control, and good front-end bite. We can’t say the same for the nonturbo Elantra. In our [comparison test of compact sedans](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a37418355/2022-honda-civic-vs-2021-hyundai-elantra-mazda-3-nissan-sentra-toyota-corolla-volkswagen-jetta-compared/), it felt unsettled by minor road bumps and exhibited too much body roll, structural vibration, and brake-pedal sponginess for our taste.
We found the [hybrid](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a37102342/2021-hyundai-elantra-hybrid-by-the-numbers/) model satisfying to drive, though. Unlike other hybrid cars, which usually feature CVTs, this one has a dual-clutch automatic that actually shifts gears and, in doing so, helps to keep engine droning to a minimum.

## **0–60-MPH Times**
- ***C/D*** **60-mph Tests:** 8.1 seconds (nonhybrid), 8.4 seconds (hybrid)
- ***C/D*****\-Estimated 60-mph Time:** 6.5 seconds (N Line)
**In Comparison:** In our testing, the [naturally aspirated nonhybrid Elantra](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a37418355/2022-honda-civic-vs-2021-hyundai-elantra-mazda-3-nissan-sentra-toyota-corolla-volkswagen-jetta-compared/) hit 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, while the [hybrid](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a37102342/2021-hyundai-elantra-hybrid-by-the-numbers/) needed 8.4 seconds. We haven’t had an opportunity to test the turbocharged Elantra N Line, but we expect to clock it around 6.5 seconds, which would put it in line with the [Honda Civic Si](https://www.caranddriver.com/honda/civic-si) but behind the [Volkswagen Jetta GLI](https://www.caranddriver.com/volkswagen/jetta-gli).
## **Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG**
- ***C/D*** **75-mph Highway Fuel-Economy Tests****:** 38 mpg (nonhybrid), 48 mpg (hybrid)
- **EPA City Ratings****:** 28-51 mpg
- **EPA Highway Ratings****:** 35-58 mpg
The EPA estimates the Elantra with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder will earn up to 31 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. Models with the turbocharged 1.6-liter four have estimates as high as 28 mpg city and 35 highway. The thriftiest hybrid Elantra is the Blue hybrid, which is rated at 51 mpg city and 58 highway.
On our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of [**our extensive testing regimen**](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a32018270/how-we-test-cars/), the [**Elantra hybrid managed only a 48-mpg**](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a37102342/2021-hyundai-elantra-hybrid-by-the-numbers/) result while the nonhybrid Limited with the base engine netted 38 mpg. For more information about the Elantra's fuel economy, visit [**the EPA's website**](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.shtml).
## **Interior, Comfort, and Cargo**
**First Row:** The Elantra’s cabin isn’t as (literally or figuratively) edgy as its exterior, but it’s stylish and functional, if laden with hard plastics. It’s also driver-focused, with screens and buttons angled to the left and a grab handle along the right side of the console that physically separates the passenger from the controls.
**Second Row:** Passenger space is generous throughout the cabin, with adult-friendly outboard seats front and rear.
**Cargo Capacity:** The Elantra’s cargo hold is very usable, and it was able to fit six carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats in our testing.
## **Infotainment and Connectivity**
- **Infotainment:** 8\.0-inch touchscreen (standard), 10.3-inch touchscreen (optional)
- **Connectivity:** Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility (wireless connectivity varies by trim)
- **Audio Systems:** 6-speaker stereo (standard), 8-speaker Bose stereo (optional)
The SE and SEL Sport models feature a 4.2-inch cluster display in front of the driver and an 8.0-inch touchscreen atop the center stack, while higher-end trims get dual 10.3-inch screens, one for instrumentation and the other for infotainment. Oddly, the latter setup requires a wired connection for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions, whereas the 8.0-inch unit supports wireless smartphone mirroring, but at least the 10.3-incher has satellite radio.
The audio system varies by trim, with Limited and N Line models receiving an eight-speaker Bose stereo and all others getting a six-speaker setup.
## **Safety and Driver-Assistance Features**
Several desirable [driver-assistance features](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g27612164/car-safety-features/) like blind-spot monitoring and forward-collision-avoidance tech come standard, but shoppers will have to choose a mid- or high-level trim for adaptive cruise control.
- **Standard Safety Features:** automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist
- **Optional Safety Features:** adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist
For information about the Elantra’s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ([NHTSA](https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings)) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ([IIHS](https://www.iihs.org/)) websites.
## **Warranty and Maintenance Coverage**
Elantra owners can rest easy with Hyundai's legendary 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. They also receive three years of scheduled service at no cost, which is a nice perk.
- **Limited Warranty:** five years or 60,000 miles
- **Powertrain Warranty:** 10 years or 100,000 miles
- **Complimentary Maintenance:** three years or 36,000 miles
