As has been  the case for a while now, it comes with plenty of features at a competitive  price. Add in Hyundai's fantastic warranty and you've got a pretty compelling  car, at least from a sensible car-buying standpoint. But Hyundai, much like it  did with its recent Sonata, has upped the Elantra's emotional appeal as well.\nContinue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below\nFor sale nearby\n25 listings\nSort by:\nAdvertisement\nHyundai Certified Used Vehicles\nThe peace of mind of an industry-leading Powertrain Limited Warranty.\n173-point inspection\nIndustry-leading roadside assistance\nOn  the outside, the 2021 Elantra is slightly longer and wider than before and has  a sleeker roofline. Arrow-like styling lines along its sides add some  character, too. Inside, there's more rear legroom and a new instrument panel  design with available twin digital display screens. Set side by side, the  screens impart a distinct European luxury sedan vibe.\nHyundai's  got some sport sedan mojo going on for 2021, too. A new Elantra N debuts as the  most powerful Elantra ever. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter  four-cylinder that puts out 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. This motor,  along with a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers, makes the N an  absolute blast to drive on curvy back roads.\nThe  N's adjustable drive modes make real differences in the car's character.  Eco\/Normal mode is the bottom floor and Sport mode is just one simple step up.  N mode seems like two or three extra levels — it's that much of a  leap. This is when all the extreme ear-to-ear grinning starts. Here is when you  get all the exhaust pops and burbles, a super-quick throttle response and a  sharper steering feel. This is also when the suspension gets into a \"Oh,  hey, I feel almost every bump and road rut like a moon crater\" mode.\nIf  the N is too over-the-top, there's also the more affordable Elantra N Line that  comes with a turbocharged 201-hp engine. Or if fuel economy is what you're  looking for, there's also an all-new hybrid version of the Elantra. Hyundai  says it will get around 50 mpg in combined city\/highway driving.\nOverall,  we're impressed with the new Elantra. If you are, too, check out our Expert  Rating to read our in-depth analysis of the ups and downs of this latest  Elantra.\nEdmunds Expert Rating\n edmunds \nTESTED\nby\nthe Edmunds Experts\nGood\n7.7\nout of 10\nWe drove the 2021 Hyundai Elantra on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a\nyear.\nPerformance\n7\n\/10\nHow does the Elantra drive? The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is lacking when it comes to speed. At Edmunds' test track, our Elantra reached 60 mph in 9.4 seconds, which is slower than average compared to rivals. It's not terrible, but passing or getting up to highway speeds can be laborious.\nWhat power it does have is sent through a continuously variable automatic transmission that Hyundai tunes for optimal fuel economy, so it too is not very impressive for spirited driving. But in typical situations, the transmission delivers a smooth experience, and there's only a little of the notorious droning noise that CVTs are known for.\nElsewhere, the Elantra is pretty middle-of-the-road. It handles corners decently well for a small sedan, behaving predictably, and it's not easily upset over bumps. But for a sporty drive, you'll want to get the N Line, which comes with a sport-tuned suspension.\nComfort\n7.5\n\/10\nHow comfortable is the Elantra? The Elantra delivers a smooth ride. There's enough plushness to soak up bumps in the road well, but it also settles relatively quickly. The seats are also comfortable for the most part. The driver's seat bottom feels just a touch flat, and it might not provide enough support on road trips more than a few hours long. There isn't much in the way of side bolstering to keep you set when cornering either.\nThe climate controls are easy to use, with big dials to command the available dual-zone climate control. The heated seats, when equipped, activate quickly. There is noticeable wind noise as you increase speed, but that is typical for the class, and passengers can more or less carry on conversations at normal volume.\nInterior\n8\n\/10\nHow’s the interior? The Elantra cabin is well thought-out, with plenty of space and good outward visibility in the front row. We're also pleased to see the back seat gained 2 inches of legroom over the previous generation, allowing for quite generous accommodations for taller passengers. Their heads might still graze the ceiling, but the Elantra is among the most spacious in this class.\nOur Elantra Limited test vehicle came with a power-adjustable driver's seat. It has a wide adjustment range, so it should suit short and tall drivers alike. The steering wheel also has a generous amount of adjustment, making it simple to find your ideal driving position.\nTechnology\n8.5\n\/10\nHow’s the tech? The Limited's twin display screens, one for the gauges and one for the infotainment, are pleasing to use. The infotainment screen has easy-to-follow menus and quick and clear directions. The Elantra also scores extra points for including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though they only come with the standard 8-inch infotainment screen. Confusingly, the larger 10.25-inch screen requires a cord to run either smartphone integration system.\nAnother bright spot is the Elantra Limited's improved voice activation system that responds accurately to web searches, addresses and even climate control commands. The available full suite of advanced driving aids is one of the best modern systems, with smooth adaptive cruise control and lane centering. We experienced no false warnings during our testing.\nStorage\n7.5\n\/10\nHow’s the storage? Trunk space is slightly above average for the class, at 14.2 cubic feet, which is the same size as in the previous-generation Elantra. The rear seats fold flat with remote release latches in the trunk — some may find them more convenient than the releases on the seats themselves. Cupholders and storage cubbies for front passengers are nothing out of the ordinary. A wireless smartphone charging pad on the Limited trim is a nice touch.\nIn the back, there are two anchors on each rear outboard seat to fasten child safety seats into place. The anchors are easy to find between the cushions. The spacious back seat means you should be able to load rear-facing seats without having to scrunch into your driving position.\nFuel Economy\n9.5\n\/10\nHow’s the fuel economy? Depending on the model, the Elantra with the 2.0-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 35-37 mpg in combined city\/highway driving. Either way you're looking at excellent fuel economy. We easily verified the EPA's estimate and even exceeded it on our mixed-driving 115-mile test route, achieving an impressive 41.8 mpg.\nValue\n9\n\/10\nIs the Elantra a good value? Now you've entered the Elantra's sweet spot. It simply runs away from the competition with five years\/60,000 miles of limited warranty coverage, 10 years\/100,000 miles for the powertrain, and free maintenance for three years\/36,000 miles. We also find the pricing attractive, especially considering the long list of features that comes standard on every model. Our only complaints: the amount of hard plastic in the cabin and a back seat nearly barren of any design.\nWildcard\n6.5\n\/10\nThe Elantra has some \"wow\" factor with its effusive exterior styling, large bright screens and excellent voice controls. But it makes no claim to driving excitement and it's easy to see why. Hyundai made an excellent all-arounder, not a passion purchase. That's what the N Line version is for.\n2021 Hyundai Elantra trim level differences\nThe  2021 Elantra is a four-door small sedan available with four engine options. The  first, and the one most Elantras will come with, is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder  engine (147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque) connected to a continuously  variable transmission, or CVT automatic. The Elantra is front-wheel-drive only.\nCompare the 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim levels in-depth.\nWhich Elantra trim does Edmunds recommend?\nFor  the regular Elantra, go with the\nSEL\ntrim. The base SE is already well equipped with an abundance of driver assistance  features plus both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. But the  SEL doesn't cost much more and gets you a few more desirable extras (keyless  entry, for example) plus the option to add even more features from option  packages.\nHyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride Officially Recalled Following Fatal Rear Seat Accident\n2026 Hyundai Kona: Driven, Tested, Rated\nHyundai Palisade Hybrid vs. Kia Telluride Hybrid: The Battle for First Place\nHyundai Palisade Stop-Sale Issued Following Fatal Accident\nCost to Drive\nMonthly estimates based on costs in North Dakota\n$130\n\/mo\n for Elantra SE\nvs\n$207\n\/mo\nAvg.

We drove Ford Escape, and Chevy Equinox and Malibu.  We wanted to drop our payment by $125.  That ruled out the 3 vehicles we drove.  We tried the Elantra and the ride was as smooth and quiet as our Explorer.  The Malibu had too much road noise.  The seats are real comfortable.  Driving home, I …\ngot up to 43.9 mpg.  We have not had the time to play with the electronics.  Cruising down the road, it (SEL) has lane change adjustment and an adjustable setting for the car to automatically slow down for slower vehicles in front of you.  Once you change lanes, it will automatically speed back up to the cruise setting.  Love the black grill and rims.  Great looking car.  It is not a dragster but will get you up to speed quickly.  Test drive the vehicle and it will sell you.  This is our first Hyundai and we are well pleased.\nKEEPS OVERHEATING\n1 out of 5 stars\nMs Stewart , 11\/07\/2021\n2021 Hyundai Elantra SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)\nI've had my brand new Hyundai Elantra 2021 for less than 3 months and it has managed to overheat twice already. \nIt has less than 1600 km so far.\nExceeding Expectations\n5 out of 5 stars\nBryce Formwalt, 03\/25\/2021\n2021 Hyundai Elantra Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)\nI traded in my 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid with over 100,000 miles and was intent on getting another Sonata.

The\nGreat Features For The Price Point!\n5 out of 5 stars\nSteve D., 04\/26\/2021\n2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)\nWe leased this car for our 18 year old son.  The redesign is excellent and even the base model comes standard with every safety feature imaginable!  While still a $21K Hyundai with lots of hard plastic around the interior and only 147 horses under the hood, the ride is surprisingly brisk and quiet.  I'm not sure you'll find this level of standard features in any other vehicle at this …\nprice point.

When it comes to shopping for a compact sedan, the Hyundai Elantra has always been on the outside looking in. It seemed to be missing that certain something to make it stand out in a crowded segment. For 2021, though, Hyundai set out to change that perception by completely redesigning the Elantra, inside…\nand out. Are these changes enough to take down the Civic and Corolla as the top choices for a small sedan?

ZumMallen](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/about\/authors\/ryan-zummallen.html)\n\n11\/13\/2020\n\nThe Hyundai Elantra has been fully redesigned for the 2021 model year. As has been the case for a while now, it comes with plenty of features at a competitive price. Add in Hyundai's fantastic warranty and you've got a pretty compelling car, at least from a sensible car-buying standpoint. But Hyundai, much like it did with its recent Sonata, has upped the Elantra's emotional appeal as well.\n\n[*Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below*](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/hyundai\/elantra\/2021\/review\/#scorecard-embed-R6kh3)\n\n## For sale nearby\nFilters1Active\n\n- 2021-2021\n- No Accidents\n- Limited\n- Exclude vehicles with Major Issues Reported\n- Black\n- Personal Use Only\n- \\$15,000-\\$20,000\n- White\n- SE\n- \\$10,000-\\$15,000\n- \\$10,000-\\$20,000\n- Gray\n- SEL\n- N Line\n- One Owner\n- Dark Blue\n- Great Price\n- Silver\n- Automated Manual\n- Good Price\n- Free History Report\n- \\$15,000+\n- Up to 40,000 miles\n- Up to 50,000 miles\n- Hybrid\n- Automatic\n- Up to 30,000 miles\n- Up to 15,000 miles\n\nFilters1Active\n\n- 2021-2021\n- No Accidents\n- Limited\n- Exclude vehicles with Major Issues Reported\n- Black\n- Personal Use Only\n- \\$15,000-\\$20,000\n- White\n- SE\n- \\$10,000-\\$15,000\n- \\$10,000-\\$20,000\n- Gray\n- SEL\n- N Line\n- One Owner\n- Dark Blue\n- Great Price\n- Silver\n- Automated Manual\n- Good Price\n- Free History Report\n- \\$15,000+\n- Up to 40,000 miles\n- Up to 50,000 miles\n- Hybrid\n- Automatic\n- Up to 30,000 miles\n- Up to 15,000 miles\n\n25 listings\n\nSort by:\n\nSave Search\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAd\n\n## Hyundai Certified Used Vehicles\nThe peace of mind of an industry-leading Powertrain Limited Warranty.\n\n![](https:\/\/static.ed.edmunds-media.com\/unversioned\/img\/cpo-logos\/hyundai.png)\n***\n- 173-point inspection\n- Industry-leading roadside assistance\n\n[Learn More](https:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/ddm\/trackclk\/N9281.2990.EDMUNDS.COMINC\/B32826986.410504798;dc_trk_aid=603006127;dc_trk_cid=219903108;dc_lat=;dc_rdid=;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=;tfua=;ltd=;dc_tdv=1) www.hyundaiusa.com\n\n![](https:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/ddm\/trackimp\/N9281.2990.EDMUNDS.COMINC\/B32826986.410504798;dc_trk_aid=603006127;dc_trk_cid=219903108;ord=1775480234613;dc_lat=;dc_rdid=;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=;tfua=;ltd=;dc_tdv=1)\n\n- [![](https:\/\/static.ed.edmunds-media.com\/unversioned\/img\/e17\/no-vehicle-gray-images\/no-vehicle-gray-image-sedan.svg) Photos not available](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/vin-preview-srp\/KMHLS4AG1MU165995\/?make=hyundai&model=elantra&year=2021)\n  \n  Stock photo\\*\\*\n  \n  [2021 Hyundai ElantraSEL Sedan](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/vin-preview-srp\/KMHLS4AG1MU165995\/?make=hyundai&model=elantra&year=2021)\n  \n  \\$16,977\n  \n  fair price\n  \n  \\$178 below market\n  \n  - 55,019 miles\n  - No accidents, 2 owners, personal use\n  - 31 City \/ 41 Hwy MPG\n  - Maplewood Toyota (227 mi away)\n  \n  - Back-up camera\n  - Bluetooth\n  - Keyless Entry\/Start\n  - Blind Spot Monitorin...\n  - Tire Pressure Warnin...\n  \n  Check Availability\n  \n  Close\n  \n  Located in Maplewood, MN\n  \n  Clean CARFAX. 31\/41 City\/Highway MPG Intense Blue 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL FWD CVT 2.0L 4-Cylinder DOHC 16VOdometer is 11634 miles below market averag...\n  \n  ### AutoCheck Vehicle History Summary\n  **Accident Free Vehicle:** Yes\n  \n  **Personal Use Only:** Yes\n  \n  **History Provider:** AutoCheck\n  \n  **Title Details:** Clean Title\n  \n  **Salvage Vehicle:** No\n  \n  **Frame Damage:** No\n  \n  **Theft History:** No\n  \n  **Lemon Status:** No\n  \n  **Free History Report:** No\n  \n  Features and Specs:\n  \n  35 Combined MPG (31 City\/41 Highway)\n  \n  Listing Information:\n  \n  VIN: KMHLS4AG1MU165995   \n  Stock: V10977A   \n  Certified Pre-Owned: No   \n  Listed since: 03-13-2026\n- [![](https:\/\/static.ed.edmunds-media.com\/unversioned\/img\/e17\/no-vehicle-gray-images\/no-vehicle-gray-image-sedan.svg) Photos not available](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/vin-preview-srp\/5NPLP4AG1MH019287\/?make=hyundai&model=elantra&year=2021)\n  \n  [2021 Hyundai ElantraLimited Sedan](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/vin-preview-srp\/5NPLP4AG1MH019287\/?make=hyundai&model=elantra&year=2021)\n  \n  \\$22,998\n  \n  - 16,038 miles\n  - No accidents, 1 owner, personal use only\n  - 31 City \/ 41 Hwy MPG\n  - CarMax Maplewood (227 mi away)\n  \n  - Back-up camera\n  - Bluetooth\n  - Navigation\n  - Leather Seats\n  - Sunroof\/Moonroof\n  \n  Check Availability\n  \n  Close\n  \n  Located in Maplewood, MN\n  \n  Wanna drive?

Arrow-like styling lines along its sides add some character, too. Inside, there's more rear legroom and a new instrument panel design with available twin digital display screens. Set side by side, the screens impart a distinct European luxury sedan vibe.\n\nHyundai's got some sport sedan mojo going on for 2021, too. A new Elantra N debuts as the most powerful Elantra ever. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that puts out 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. This motor, along with a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers, makes the N an absolute blast to drive on curvy back roads.\n\nThe N's adjustable drive modes make real differences in the car's character. Eco\/Normal mode is the bottom floor and Sport mode is just one simple step up. N mode seems like two or three extra levels — it's that much of a leap. This is when all the extreme ear-to-ear grinning starts. Here is when you get all the exhaust pops and burbles, a super-quick throttle response and a sharper steering feel. This is also when the suspension gets into a \"Oh, hey, I feel almost every bump and road rut like a moon crater\" mode.\n\nIf the N is too over-the-top, there's also the more affordable Elantra N Line that comes with a turbocharged 201-hp engine. Or if fuel economy is what you're looking for, there's also an all-new hybrid version of the Elantra. Hyundai says it will get around 50 mpg in combined city\/highway driving.\n\nOverall, we're impressed with the new Elantra. If you are, too, check out our Expert Rating to read our in-depth analysis of the ups and downs of this latest Elantra.\n\n## Edmunds Expert Rating\nedmunds TESTED\n\nby the Edmunds Experts\n\nGood\n\n7\\.7\n\nout of 10\n\nWe drove the 2021 Hyundai Elantra on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.\n\n## Performance\n**7**\/10\n\nHow does the Elantra drive? The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is lacking when it comes to speed. At Edmunds' test track, our Elantra reached 60 mph in 9.4 seconds, which is slower than average compared to rivals. It's not terrible, but passing or getting up to highway speeds can be laborious.  \n   \n What power it does have is sent through a continuously variable automatic transmission that Hyundai tunes for optimal fuel economy, so it too is not very impressive for spirited driving. But in typical situations, the transmission delivers a smooth experience, and there's only a little of the notorious droning noise that CVTs are known for.  \n   \n Elsewhere, the Elantra is pretty middle-of-the-road. It handles corners decently well for a small sedan, behaving predictably, and it's not easily upset over bumps. But for a sporty drive, you'll want to get the N Line, which comes with a sport-tuned suspension.\n\nRead more\n\n## Comfort\n**7\\.5**\/10\n\nHow comfortable is the Elantra? The Elantra delivers a smooth ride. There's enough plushness to soak up bumps in the road well, but it also settles relatively quickly. The seats are also comfortable for the most part. The driver's seat bottom feels just a touch flat, and it might not provide enough support on road trips more than a few hours long. There isn't much in the way of side bolstering to keep you set when cornering either.  \n   \n The climate controls are easy to use, with big dials to command the available dual-zone climate control. The heated seats, when equipped, activate quickly. There is noticeable wind noise as you increase speed, but that is typical for the class, and passengers can more or less carry on conversations at normal volume.\n\nRead more\n\n## Interior\n**8**\/10\n\nHow’s the interior? The Elantra cabin is well thought-out, with plenty of space and good outward visibility in the front row. We're also pleased to see the back seat gained 2 inches of legroom over the previous generation, allowing for quite generous accommodations for taller passengers. Their heads might still graze the ceiling, but the Elantra is among the most spacious in this class.  \n   \n Our Elantra Limited test vehicle came with a power-adjustable driver's seat. It has a wide adjustment range, so it should suit short and tall drivers alike. The steering wheel also has a generous amount of adjustment, making it simple to find your ideal driving position.\n\nRead more\n\n## Technology\n**8\\.5**\/10\n\nHow’s the tech? The Limited's twin display screens, one for the gauges and one for the infotainment, are pleasing to use. The infotainment screen has easy-to-follow menus and quick and clear directions. The Elantra also scores extra points for including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though they only come with the standard 8-inch infotainment screen. Confusingly, the larger 10.25-inch screen requires a cord to run either smartphone integration system.   \n   \n Another bright spot is the Elantra Limited's improved voice activation system that responds accurately to web searches, addresses and even climate control commands. The available full suite of advanced driving aids is one of the best modern systems, with smooth adaptive cruise control and lane centering. We experienced no false warnings during our testing.\n\nRead more\n\n## Storage\n**7\\.5**\/10\n\nHow’s the storage? Trunk space is slightly above average for the class, at 14.2 cubic feet, which is the same size as in the previous-generation Elantra. The rear seats fold flat with remote release latches in the trunk — some may find them more convenient than the releases on the seats themselves. Cupholders and storage cubbies for front passengers are nothing out of the ordinary. A wireless smartphone charging pad on the Limited trim is a nice touch.  \n   \n In the back, there are two anchors on each rear outboard seat to fasten child safety seats into place. The anchors are easy to find between the cushions. The spacious back seat means you should be able to load rear-facing seats without having to scrunch into your driving position.\n\nRead more\n\n## Fuel Economy\n**9\\.5**\/10\n\nHow’s the fuel economy? Depending on the model, the Elantra with the 2.0-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 35-37 mpg in combined city\/highway driving. Either way you're looking at excellent fuel economy. We easily verified the EPA's estimate and even exceeded it on our mixed-driving 115-mile test route, achieving an impressive 41.8 mpg.\n\n## Value\n**9**\/10\n\nIs the Elantra a good value? Now you've entered the Elantra's sweet spot. It simply runs away from the competition with five years\/60,000 miles of limited warranty coverage, 10 years\/100,000 miles for the powertrain, and free maintenance for three years\/36,000 miles. We also find the pricing attractive, especially considering the long list of features that comes standard on every model. Our only complaints: the amount of hard plastic in the cabin and a back seat nearly barren of any design.\n\nRead more\n\n## Wildcard\n**6\\.5**\/10\n\nThe Elantra has some \"wow\" factor with its effusive exterior styling, large bright screens and excellent voice controls. But it makes no claim to driving excitement and it's easy to see why. Hyundai made an excellent all-arounder, not a passion purchase. That's what the N Line version is for.\n\n## 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim level differences\nThe 2021 Elantra is a four-door small sedan available with four engine options. The first, and the one most Elantras will come with, is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque) connected to a continuously variable transmission, or CVT automatic. The Elantra is front-wheel-drive only. [Compare the 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim levels in-depth.](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/hyundai\/elantra\/2021\/trims\/)\n\n## Which Elantra trim does Edmunds recommend?\nFor the regular Elantra, go with the **SEL** trim. The base SE is already well equipped with an abundance of driver assistance features plus both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. But the SEL doesn't cost much more and gets you a few more desirable extras (keyless entry, for example) plus the option to add even more features from option packages.\n\n[Edmunds Latest Hyundai Elantra News](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-news\/)\n\n[![](https:\/\/media.ed.edmunds-media.com\/non-make\/ot\/ot_801223_175.jpg)Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride Officially Recalled Following Fatal Rear Seat Accident](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-news\/hyundai-palisade-kia-telluride-rear-seat-recall.html)\n\n[![](https:\/\/media.ed.edmunds-media.com\/non-make\/ot\/ot_801223_175.jpg)2026 Hyundai Kona: Driven, Tested, Rated](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-news\/2026-hyundai-kona-full-rating-review.html)\n\n[![](https:\/\/media.ed.edmunds-media.com\/non-make\/ot\/ot_801223_175.jpg)Hyundai Palisade Hybrid vs. Kia Telluride Hybrid: The Battle for First Place](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-news\/kia-telluride-hyundai-palisade-hybrid-comparison-test-video.html)\n\n[![](https:\/\/media.ed.edmunds-media.com\/non-make\/ot\/ot_801223_175.jpg)Hyundai Palisade Stop-Sale Issued Following Fatal Accident](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-news\/2026-hyundai-palisade-stop-sale-fatal-accident.html)\n***\n\n## Cost to Drive\nMonthly estimates based on costs in North Dakota\n\n\\$130\/mo  for Elantra SE\n\nElantra SE\n\nvs\n\n\\$207\/mo\n\nAvg.

We drove Ford Escape, and Chevy Equinox and Malibu. We wanted to drop our payment by \\$125. That ruled out the 3 vehicles we drove. We tried the Elantra and the ride was as smooth and quiet as our Explorer. The Malibu had too much road noise. The seats are real comfortable. Driving home, I … got up to 43.9 mpg. We have not had the time to play with the electronics. Cruising down the road, it (SEL) has lane change adjustment and an adjustable setting for the car to automatically slow down for slower vehicles in front of you. Once you change lanes, it will automatically speed back up to the cruise setting. Love the black grill and rims. Great looking car. It is not a dragster but will get you up to speed quickly. Test drive the vehicle and it will sell you. This is our first Hyundai and we are well pleased.\n\nRead more\n\nRead less\n\nKEEPS OVERHEATING\n\n1 out of 5 stars\n\nMs Stewart , 11\/07\/2021\n\n2021 Hyundai Elantra SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)\n\nI've had my brand new Hyundai Elantra 2021 for less than 3 months and it has managed to overheat twice already.

The\n\nGreat Features For The Price Point\\!\n\n5 out of 5 stars\n\nSteve D., 04\/26\/2021\n\n2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)\n\nWe leased this car for our 18 year old son. The redesign is excellent and even the base model comes standard with every safety feature imaginable! While still a \\$21K Hyundai with lots of hard plastic around the interior and only 147 horses under the hood, the ride is surprisingly brisk and quiet. I'm not sure you'll find this level of standard features in any other vehicle at this … price point. Three years complimentary maintenance and a phenomenal app for your phone to control the car rounds this one out\\!\n\nRead more\n\nRead less\n\n## 2021 Hyundai Elantra video\n[2021 Hyundai Elantra Review \\| Driving the Redesigned Elantra \\| Price, MPG, Release Date & More\\!](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PlWzNvsf10Q)\n\n![2021 Hyundai Elantra Review \\| Driving the Redesigned Elantra \\| Price, MPG, Release Date & More\\!](https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/PlWzNvsf10Q\/maxresdefault.jpg)\n\n![Youtube](https:\/\/static.ed.edmunds-media.com\/unversioned\/img\/logos\/youtube-white.png)\n\n2021 Hyundai Elantra Review \\| Driving the Redesigned Elantra \\| Price, MPG, Release Date & More\\!\n\nOur experts take a look at the newly redesigned 2021 Hyundai Elantra. When it comes to shopping for a compact sedan, the Hyundai Elantra has always been on the outside looking in. It seemed to be missing that certain something to make it stand out in a crowded segment. For 2021, though, Hyundai set out to change that perception by completely redesigning the Elantra, inside… and out. Are these changes enough to take down the Civic and Corolla as the top choices for a small sedan?

As has been the case for a while now, it comes with plenty of features at a competitive price. Add in Hyundai's fantastic warranty and you've got a pretty compelling car, at least from a sensible car-buying standpoint. But Hyundai, much like it did with its recent Sonata, has upped the Elantra's emotional appeal as well.\n\n[*Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below*](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/hyundai\/elantra\/2021\/review\/#scorecard-embed-R6kh3)\n\nFor sale nearby\n\n25 listings\n\nSort by:\n\nAdvertisement\n\n## Hyundai Certified Used Vehicles\nThe peace of mind of an industry-leading Powertrain Limited Warranty.\n\n![](https:\/\/static.ed.edmunds-media.com\/unversioned\/img\/cpo-logos\/hyundai.png)\n***\n- 173-point inspection\n- Industry-leading roadside assistance\n\n![](https:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/ddm\/trackimp\/N9281.2990.EDMUNDS.COMINC\/B32826986.410504798;dc_trk_aid=603006127;dc_trk_cid=219903108;ord=1775480234613;dc_lat=;dc_rdid=;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=;tfua=;ltd=;dc_tdv=1)\n\nOn the outside, the 2021 Elantra is slightly longer and wider than before and has a sleeker roofline. Arrow-like styling lines along its sides add some character, too. Inside, there's more rear legroom and a new instrument panel design with available twin digital display screens. Set side by side, the screens impart a distinct European luxury sedan vibe.\n\nHyundai's got some sport sedan mojo going on for 2021, too. A new Elantra N debuts as the most powerful Elantra ever. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that puts out 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. This motor, along with a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers, makes the N an absolute blast to drive on curvy back roads.\n\nThe N's adjustable drive modes make real differences in the car's character. Eco\/Normal mode is the bottom floor and Sport mode is just one simple step up. N mode seems like two or three extra levels — it's that much of a leap. This is when all the extreme ear-to-ear grinning starts. Here is when you get all the exhaust pops and burbles, a super-quick throttle response and a sharper steering feel. This is also when the suspension gets into a \"Oh, hey, I feel almost every bump and road rut like a moon crater\" mode.\n\nIf the N is too over-the-top, there's also the more affordable Elantra N Line that comes with a turbocharged 201-hp engine. Or if fuel economy is what you're looking for, there's also an all-new hybrid version of the Elantra. Hyundai says it will get around 50 mpg in combined city\/highway driving.\n\nOverall, we're impressed with the new Elantra. If you are, too, check out our Expert Rating to read our in-depth analysis of the ups and downs of this latest Elantra.\n\n## Edmunds Expert Rating\nedmunds TESTED\n\nby the Edmunds Experts\n\nGood\n\n7\\.7\n\nout of 10\n\nWe drove the 2021 Hyundai Elantra on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.\n\n## Performance\n**7**\/10\n\nHow does the Elantra drive? The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is lacking when it comes to speed. At Edmunds' test track, our Elantra reached 60 mph in 9.4 seconds, which is slower than average compared to rivals. It's not terrible, but passing or getting up to highway speeds can be laborious. What power it does have is sent through a continuously variable automatic transmission that Hyundai tunes for optimal fuel economy, so it too is not very impressive for spirited driving. But in typical situations, the transmission delivers a smooth experience, and there's only a little of the notorious droning noise that CVTs are known for. Elsewhere, the Elantra is pretty middle-of-the-road. It handles corners decently well for a small sedan, behaving predictably, and it's not easily upset over bumps. But for a sporty drive, you'll want to get the N Line, which comes with a sport-tuned suspension.\n\n## Comfort\n**7\\.5**\/10\n\nHow comfortable is the Elantra? The Elantra delivers a smooth ride. There's enough plushness to soak up bumps in the road well, but it also settles relatively quickly. The seats are also comfortable for the most part. The driver's seat bottom feels just a touch flat, and it might not provide enough support on road trips more than a few hours long. There isn't much in the way of side bolstering to keep you set when cornering either. The climate controls are easy to use, with big dials to command the available dual-zone climate control. The heated seats, when equipped, activate quickly. There is noticeable wind noise as you increase speed, but that is typical for the class, and passengers can more or less carry on conversations at normal volume.\n\n## Interior\n**8**\/10\n\nHow’s the interior? The Elantra cabin is well thought-out, with plenty of space and good outward visibility in the front row. We're also pleased to see the back seat gained 2 inches of legroom over the previous generation, allowing for quite generous accommodations for taller passengers. Their heads might still graze the ceiling, but the Elantra is among the most spacious in this class. Our Elantra Limited test vehicle came with a power-adjustable driver's seat. It has a wide adjustment range, so it should suit short and tall drivers alike. The steering wheel also has a generous amount of adjustment, making it simple to find your ideal driving position.\n\n## Technology\n**8\\.5**\/10\n\nHow’s the tech? The Limited's twin display screens, one for the gauges and one for the infotainment, are pleasing to use. The infotainment screen has easy-to-follow menus and quick and clear directions. The Elantra also scores extra points for including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though they only come with the standard 8-inch infotainment screen. Confusingly, the larger 10.25-inch screen requires a cord to run either smartphone integration system. Another bright spot is the Elantra Limited's improved voice activation system that responds accurately to web searches, addresses and even climate control commands. The available full suite of advanced driving aids is one of the best modern systems, with smooth adaptive cruise control and lane centering. We experienced no false warnings during our testing.\n\n## Storage\n**7\\.5**\/10\n\nHow’s the storage? Trunk space is slightly above average for the class, at 14.2 cubic feet, which is the same size as in the previous-generation Elantra. The rear seats fold flat with remote release latches in the trunk — some may find them more convenient than the releases on the seats themselves. Cupholders and storage cubbies for front passengers are nothing out of the ordinary. A wireless smartphone charging pad on the Limited trim is a nice touch. In the back, there are two anchors on each rear outboard seat to fasten child safety seats into place. The anchors are easy to find between the cushions. The spacious back seat means you should be able to load rear-facing seats without having to scrunch into your driving position.\n\n## Fuel Economy\n**9\\.5**\/10\n\nHow’s the fuel economy? Depending on the model, the Elantra with the 2.0-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 35-37 mpg in combined city\/highway driving. Either way you're looking at excellent fuel economy. We easily verified the EPA's estimate and even exceeded it on our mixed-driving 115-mile test route, achieving an impressive 41.8 mpg.\n\n## Value\n**9**\/10\n\nIs the Elantra a good value? Now you've entered the Elantra's sweet spot. It simply runs away from the competition with five years\/60,000 miles of limited warranty coverage, 10 years\/100,000 miles for the powertrain, and free maintenance for three years\/36,000 miles. We also find the pricing attractive, especially considering the long list of features that comes standard on every model. Our only complaints: the amount of hard plastic in the cabin and a back seat nearly barren of any design.\n\n## Wildcard\n**6\\.5**\/10\n\nThe Elantra has some \"wow\" factor with its effusive exterior styling, large bright screens and excellent voice controls. But it makes no claim to driving excitement and it's easy to see why. Hyundai made an excellent all-arounder, not a passion purchase. That's what the N Line version is for.\n\n## 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim level differences\nThe 2021 Elantra is a four-door small sedan available with four engine options. The first, and the one most Elantras will come with, is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque) connected to a continuously variable transmission, or CVT automatic. The Elantra is front-wheel-drive only. [Compare the 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim levels in-depth.](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/hyundai\/elantra\/2021\/trims\/)\n\n## Which Elantra trim does Edmunds recommend?\nFor the regular Elantra, go with the **SEL** trim. The base SE is already well equipped with an abundance of driver assistance features plus both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. But the SEL doesn't cost much more and gets you a few more desirable extras (keyless entry, for example) plus the option to add even more features from option packages.\n\n[![](https:\/\/media.ed.edmunds-media.com\/non-make\/ot\/ot_801223_175.jpg)Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride Officially Recalled Following Fatal Rear Seat Accident](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-news\/hyundai-palisade-kia-telluride-rear-seat-recall.html)\n\n[![](https:\/\/media.ed.edmunds-media.com\/non-make\/ot\/ot_801223_175.jpg)2026 Hyundai Kona: Driven, Tested, Rated](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-news\/2026-hyundai-kona-full-rating-review.html)\n\n[![](https:\/\/media.ed.edmunds-media.com\/non-make\/ot\/ot_801223_175.jpg)Hyundai Palisade Hybrid vs. Kia Telluride Hybrid: The Battle for First Place](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-news\/kia-telluride-hyundai-palisade-hybrid-comparison-test-video.html)\n\n[![](https:\/\/media.ed.edmunds-media.com\/non-make\/ot\/ot_801223_175.jpg)Hyundai Palisade Stop-Sale Issued Following Fatal Accident](https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-news\/2026-hyundai-palisade-stop-sale-fatal-accident.html)\n***\n\n## Cost to Drive\nMonthly estimates based on costs in North Dakota\n\n\\$130\/mo  for Elantra SE\n\nvs\n\n\\$207\/mo\n\nAvg.

We drove Ford Escape, and Chevy Equinox and Malibu. We wanted to drop our payment by \\$125. That ruled out the 3 vehicles we drove. We tried the Elantra and the ride was as smooth and quiet as our Explorer. The Malibu had too much road noise. The seats are real comfortable. Driving home, I … got up to 43.9 mpg. We have not had the time to play with the electronics. Cruising down the road, it (SEL) has lane change adjustment and an adjustable setting for the car to automatically slow down for slower vehicles in front of you. Once you change lanes, it will automatically speed back up to the cruise setting. Love the black grill and rims. Great looking car. It is not a dragster but will get you up to speed quickly. Test drive the vehicle and it will sell you. This is our first Hyundai and we are well pleased.\n\nKEEPS OVERHEATING\n\n1 out of 5 stars\n\nMs Stewart , 11\/07\/2021\n\n2021 Hyundai Elantra SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)\n\nI've had my brand new Hyundai Elantra 2021 for less than 3 months and it has managed to overheat twice already.

When it comes to shopping for a compact sedan, the Hyundai Elantra has always been on the outside looking in. It seemed to be missing that certain something to make it stand out in a crowded segment. For 2021, though, Hyundai set out to change that perception by completely redesigning the Elantra, inside… and out. Are these changes enough to take down the Civic and Corolla as the top choices for a small sedan?

Boilerpipe Text	Price Estimate: $16,999 - $19,926 View 205 more photos The new 2021 Elantra stands out with its high fuel economy, impressive technology and safety features, and roomy cabin. It's also comfortable and strong on value. Other than a lackluster base engine, there's not much to complain about. It's a great pick for a small sedan. Changing year will take you to a new page Select year Oops, we can’t seem to locate you. Please enter U.S. ZIP code to see vehicles for sale ZIP Code Hyundai Elantra model years Hyundai Elantra types Sedan Hybrid Pros Generous list of standard and optional features Roomy cabin High fuel economy Engaging performance from the Elantra N Cons Tepid acceleration from base four-cylinder engine Abundance of interior hard plastic, particularly in the backseat area What's new Redesigned for 2021 Bolder styling Impressive available touchscreens and voice controls New performance and hybrid versions The start of the seventh-generation Elantra introduced for the 2021 model year Overview The Hyundai Elantra has been fully redesigned for the 2021 model year. As has been the case for a while now, it comes with plenty of features at a competitive price. Add in Hyundai's fantastic warranty and you've got a pretty compelling car, at least from a sensible car-buying standpoint. But Hyundai, much like it did with its recent Sonata, has upped the Elantra's emotional appeal as well. Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below For sale nearby 25 listings Sort by: Advertisement Hyundai Certified Used Vehicles The peace of mind of an industry-leading Powertrain Limited Warranty. 173-point inspection Industry-leading roadside assistance On the outside, the 2021 Elantra is slightly longer and wider than before and has a sleeker roofline. Arrow-like styling lines along its sides add some character, too. Inside, there's more rear legroom and a new instrument panel design with available twin digital display screens. Set side by side, the screens impart a distinct European luxury sedan vibe. Hyundai's got some sport sedan mojo going on for 2021, too. A new Elantra N debuts as the most powerful Elantra ever. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that puts out 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. This motor, along with a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers, makes the N an absolute blast to drive on curvy back roads. The N's adjustable drive modes make real differences in the car's character. Eco/Normal mode is the bottom floor and Sport mode is just one simple step up. N mode seems like two or three extra levels — it's that much of a leap. This is when all the extreme ear-to-ear grinning starts. Here is when you get all the exhaust pops and burbles, a super-quick throttle response and a sharper steering feel. This is also when the suspension gets into a "Oh, hey, I feel almost every bump and road rut like a moon crater" mode. If the N is too over-the-top, there's also the more affordable Elantra N Line that comes with a turbocharged 201-hp engine. Or if fuel economy is what you're looking for, there's also an all-new hybrid version of the Elantra. Hyundai says it will get around 50 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Overall, we're impressed with the new Elantra. If you are, too, check out our Expert Rating to read our in-depth analysis of the ups and downs of this latest Elantra. Edmunds Expert Rating edmunds TESTED by the Edmunds Experts Good 7.7 out of 10 We drove the 2021 Hyundai Elantra on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year. Performance 7 /10 How does the Elantra drive? The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is lacking when it comes to speed. At Edmunds' test track, our Elantra reached 60 mph in 9.4 seconds, which is slower than average compared to rivals. It's not terrible, but passing or getting up to highway speeds can be laborious. What power it does have is sent through a continuously variable automatic transmission that Hyundai tunes for optimal fuel economy, so it too is not very impressive for spirited driving. But in typical situations, the transmission delivers a smooth experience, and there's only a little of the notorious droning noise that CVTs are known for. Elsewhere, the Elantra is pretty middle-of-the-road. It handles corners decently well for a small sedan, behaving predictably, and it's not easily upset over bumps. But for a sporty drive, you'll want to get the N Line, which comes with a sport-tuned suspension. Comfort 7.5 /10 How comfortable is the Elantra? The Elantra delivers a smooth ride. There's enough plushness to soak up bumps in the road well, but it also settles relatively quickly. The seats are also comfortable for the most part. The driver's seat bottom feels just a touch flat, and it might not provide enough support on road trips more than a few hours long. There isn't much in the way of side bolstering to keep you set when cornering either. The climate controls are easy to use, with big dials to command the available dual-zone climate control. The heated seats, when equipped, activate quickly. There is noticeable wind noise as you increase speed, but that is typical for the class, and passengers can more or less carry on conversations at normal volume. Interior 8 /10 How’s the interior? The Elantra cabin is well thought-out, with plenty of space and good outward visibility in the front row. We're also pleased to see the back seat gained 2 inches of legroom over the previous generation, allowing for quite generous accommodations for taller passengers. Their heads might still graze the ceiling, but the Elantra is among the most spacious in this class. Our Elantra Limited test vehicle came with a power-adjustable driver's seat. It has a wide adjustment range, so it should suit short and tall drivers alike. The steering wheel also has a generous amount of adjustment, making it simple to find your ideal driving position. Technology 8.5 /10 How’s the tech? The Limited's twin display screens, one for the gauges and one for the infotainment, are pleasing to use. The infotainment screen has easy-to-follow menus and quick and clear directions. The Elantra also scores extra points for including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though they only come with the standard 8-inch infotainment screen. Confusingly, the larger 10.25-inch screen requires a cord to run either smartphone integration system. Another bright spot is the Elantra Limited's improved voice activation system that responds accurately to web searches, addresses and even climate control commands. The available full suite of advanced driving aids is one of the best modern systems, with smooth adaptive cruise control and lane centering. We experienced no false warnings during our testing. Storage 7.5 /10 How’s the storage? Trunk space is slightly above average for the class, at 14.2 cubic feet, which is the same size as in the previous-generation Elantra. The rear seats fold flat with remote release latches in the trunk — some may find them more convenient than the releases on the seats themselves. Cupholders and storage cubbies for front passengers are nothing out of the ordinary. A wireless smartphone charging pad on the Limited trim is a nice touch. In the back, there are two anchors on each rear outboard seat to fasten child safety seats into place. The anchors are easy to find between the cushions. The spacious back seat means you should be able to load rear-facing seats without having to scrunch into your driving position. Fuel Economy 9.5 /10 How’s the fuel economy? Depending on the model, the Elantra with the 2.0-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 35-37 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Either way you're looking at excellent fuel economy. We easily verified the EPA's estimate and even exceeded it on our mixed-driving 115-mile test route, achieving an impressive 41.8 mpg. Value 9 /10 Is the Elantra a good value? Now you've entered the Elantra's sweet spot. It simply runs away from the competition with five years/60,000 miles of limited warranty coverage, 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain, and free maintenance for three years/36,000 miles. We also find the pricing attractive, especially considering the long list of features that comes standard on every model. Our only complaints: the amount of hard plastic in the cabin and a back seat nearly barren of any design. Wildcard 6.5 /10 The Elantra has some "wow" factor with its effusive exterior styling, large bright screens and excellent voice controls. But it makes no claim to driving excitement and it's easy to see why. Hyundai made an excellent all-arounder, not a passion purchase. That's what the N Line version is for. 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim level differences The 2021 Elantra is a four-door small sedan available with four engine options. The first, and the one most Elantras will come with, is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque) connected to a continuously variable transmission, or CVT automatic. The Elantra is front-wheel-drive only. Compare the 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim levels in-depth. Which Elantra trim does Edmunds recommend? For the regular Elantra, go with the SEL trim. The base SE is already well equipped with an abundance of driver assistance features plus both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. But the SEL doesn't cost much more and gets you a few more desirable extras (keyless entry, for example) plus the option to add even more features from option packages.

We drove Ford Escape, and Chevy Equinox and Malibu. We wanted to drop our payment by $125. That ruled out the 3 vehicles we drove. We tried the Elantra and the ride was as smooth and quiet as our Explorer. The Malibu had too much road noise. The seats are real comfortable. Driving home, I … got up to 43.9 mpg. We have not had the time to play with the electronics. Cruising down the road, it (SEL) has lane change adjustment and an adjustable setting for the car to automatically slow down for slower vehicles in front of you. Once you change lanes, it will automatically speed back up to the cruise setting. Love the black grill and rims. Great looking car. It is not a dragster but will get you up to speed quickly. Test drive the vehicle and it will sell you. This is our first Hyundai and we are well pleased. KEEPS OVERHEATING 1 out of 5 stars Ms Stewart , 11/07/2021 2021 Hyundai Elantra SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT) I've had my brand new Hyundai Elantra 2021 for less than 3 months and it has managed to overheat twice already. It has less than 1600 km so far. Exceeding Expectations 5 out of 5 stars Bryce Formwalt, 03/25/2021 2021 Hyundai Elantra Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT) I traded in my 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid with over 100,000 miles and was intent on getting another Sonata. But after purchasing a 2021 Elantra SEL for my son, I was SO impressed that I had to get one for myself! The Great Features For The Price Point! 5 out of 5 stars Steve D., 04/26/2021 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT) We leased this car for our 18 year old son. The redesign is excellent and even the base model comes standard with every safety feature imaginable! While still a $21K Hyundai with lots of hard plastic around the interior and only 147 horses under the hood, the ride is surprisingly brisk and quiet. I'm not sure you'll find this level of standard features in any other vehicle at this … price point. Three years complimentary maintenance and a phenomenal app for your phone to control the car rounds this one out! 2021 Hyundai Elantra video 2021 Hyundai Elantra Review \| Driving the Redesigned Elantra \| Price, MPG, Release Date & More! Our experts take a look at the newly redesigned 2021 Hyundai Elantra. When it comes to shopping for a compact sedan, the Hyundai Elantra has always been on the outside looking in. It seemed to be missing that certain something to make it stand out in a crowded segment. For 2021, though, Hyundai set out to change that perception by completely redesigning the Elantra, inside… and out. Are these changes enough to take down the Civic and Corolla as the top choices for a small sedan? Watch our full review of the 2021 Hyundai Elantra to answer this question and a whole lot more. 2021 Elantra Features & Specs Type: Sedan Trim: SE MSRP (New) Excludes Destination Fee $19,650 Engine Type Gas Combined MPG 37 MPG Cost to Drive $130/month Seating 5 seats Cargo Capacity All Seats In Place 14.2 cu.ft.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist Detects oncoming vehicles while reversing and issues an alert. Brakes automatically if appropriate. Lane Following Assist Makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.

As has been the case for a while now, it comes with plenty of features at a competitive price. Add in Hyundai's fantastic warranty and you've got a pretty compelling car, at least from a sensible car-buying standpoint. But Hyundai, much like it did with its recent Sonata, has upped the Elantra's emotional appeal as well.

Arrow-like styling lines along its sides add some character, too. Inside, there's more rear legroom and a new instrument panel design with available twin digital display screens. Set side by side, the screens impart a distinct European luxury sedan vibe. Hyundai's got some sport sedan mojo going on for 2021, too. A new Elantra N debuts as the most powerful Elantra ever. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that puts out 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. This motor, along with a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers, makes the N an absolute blast to drive on curvy back roads. The N's adjustable drive modes make real differences in the car's character. Eco/Normal mode is the bottom floor and Sport mode is just one simple step up. N mode seems like two or three extra levels — it's that much of a leap. This is when all the extreme ear-to-ear grinning starts. Here is when you get all the exhaust pops and burbles, a super-quick throttle response and a sharper steering feel. This is also when the suspension gets into a "Oh, hey, I feel almost every bump and road rut like a moon crater" mode. If the N is too over-the-top, there's also the more affordable Elantra N Line that comes with a turbocharged 201-hp engine. Or if fuel economy is what you're looking for, there's also an all-new hybrid version of the Elantra. Hyundai says it will get around 50 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Overall, we're impressed with the new Elantra. If you are, too, check out our Expert Rating to read our in-depth analysis of the ups and downs of this latest Elantra. ## Edmunds Expert Rating edmunds TESTED by the Edmunds Experts Good 7\.7 out of 10 We drove the 2021 Hyundai Elantra on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year. ## Performance 7/10 How does the Elantra drive? The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is lacking when it comes to speed. At Edmunds' test track, our Elantra reached 60 mph in 9.4 seconds, which is slower than average compared to rivals. It's not terrible, but passing or getting up to highway speeds can be laborious. What power it does have is sent through a continuously variable automatic transmission that Hyundai tunes for optimal fuel economy, so it too is not very impressive for spirited driving. But in typical situations, the transmission delivers a smooth experience, and there's only a little of the notorious droning noise that CVTs are known for. Elsewhere, the Elantra is pretty middle-of-the-road. It handles corners decently well for a small sedan, behaving predictably, and it's not easily upset over bumps. But for a sporty drive, you'll want to get the N Line, which comes with a sport-tuned suspension. Read more ## Comfort 7\.5/10 How comfortable is the Elantra? The Elantra delivers a smooth ride. There's enough plushness to soak up bumps in the road well, but it also settles relatively quickly. The seats are also comfortable for the most part. The driver's seat bottom feels just a touch flat, and it might not provide enough support on road trips more than a few hours long. There isn't much in the way of side bolstering to keep you set when cornering either. The climate controls are easy to use, with big dials to command the available dual-zone climate control. The heated seats, when equipped, activate quickly. There is noticeable wind noise as you increase speed, but that is typical for the class, and passengers can more or less carry on conversations at normal volume. Read more ## Interior 8/10 How’s the interior? The Elantra cabin is well thought-out, with plenty of space and good outward visibility in the front row. We're also pleased to see the back seat gained 2 inches of legroom over the previous generation, allowing for quite generous accommodations for taller passengers. Their heads might still graze the ceiling, but the Elantra is among the most spacious in this class. Our Elantra Limited test vehicle came with a power-adjustable driver's seat. It has a wide adjustment range, so it should suit short and tall drivers alike. The steering wheel also has a generous amount of adjustment, making it simple to find your ideal driving position. Read more ## Technology 8\.5/10 How’s the tech? The Limited's twin display screens, one for the gauges and one for the infotainment, are pleasing to use. The infotainment screen has easy-to-follow menus and quick and clear directions. The Elantra also scores extra points for including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though they only come with the standard 8-inch infotainment screen. Confusingly, the larger 10.25-inch screen requires a cord to run either smartphone integration system. Another bright spot is the Elantra Limited's improved voice activation system that responds accurately to web searches, addresses and even climate control commands. The available full suite of advanced driving aids is one of the best modern systems, with smooth adaptive cruise control and lane centering. We experienced no false warnings during our testing. Read more ## Storage 7\.5/10 How’s the storage? Trunk space is slightly above average for the class, at 14.2 cubic feet, which is the same size as in the previous-generation Elantra. The rear seats fold flat with remote release latches in the trunk — some may find them more convenient than the releases on the seats themselves. Cupholders and storage cubbies for front passengers are nothing out of the ordinary. A wireless smartphone charging pad on the Limited trim is a nice touch. In the back, there are two anchors on each rear outboard seat to fasten child safety seats into place. The anchors are easy to find between the cushions. The spacious back seat means you should be able to load rear-facing seats without having to scrunch into your driving position. Read more ## Fuel Economy 9\.5/10 How’s the fuel economy? Depending on the model, the Elantra with the 2.0-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 35-37 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Either way you're looking at excellent fuel economy. We easily verified the EPA's estimate and even exceeded it on our mixed-driving 115-mile test route, achieving an impressive 41.8 mpg. ## Value 9/10 Is the Elantra a good value? Now you've entered the Elantra's sweet spot. It simply runs away from the competition with five years/60,000 miles of limited warranty coverage, 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain, and free maintenance for three years/36,000 miles. We also find the pricing attractive, especially considering the long list of features that comes standard on every model. Our only complaints: the amount of hard plastic in the cabin and a back seat nearly barren of any design. Read more ## Wildcard 6\.5/10 The Elantra has some "wow" factor with its effusive exterior styling, large bright screens and excellent voice controls. But it makes no claim to driving excitement and it's easy to see why. Hyundai made an excellent all-arounder, not a passion purchase. That's what the N Line version is for. ## 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim level differences The 2021 Elantra is a four-door small sedan available with four engine options. The first, and the one most Elantras will come with, is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque) connected to a continuously variable transmission, or CVT automatic. The Elantra is front-wheel-drive only. [Compare the 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim levels in-depth.](https://www.edmunds.com/hyundai/elantra/2021/trims/) ## Which Elantra trim does Edmunds recommend? For the regular Elantra, go with the SEL trim. The base SE is already well equipped with an abundance of driver assistance features plus both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. But the SEL doesn't cost much more and gets you a few more desirable extras (keyless entry, for example) plus the option to add even more features from option packages.

We drove Ford Escape, and Chevy Equinox and Malibu. We wanted to drop our payment by \$125. That ruled out the 3 vehicles we drove. We tried the Elantra and the ride was as smooth and quiet as our Explorer. The Malibu had too much road noise. The seats are real comfortable. Driving home, I … got up to 43.9 mpg. We have not had the time to play with the electronics. Cruising down the road, it (SEL) has lane change adjustment and an adjustable setting for the car to automatically slow down for slower vehicles in front of you. Once you change lanes, it will automatically speed back up to the cruise setting. Love the black grill and rims. Great looking car. It is not a dragster but will get you up to speed quickly. Test drive the vehicle and it will sell you. This is our first Hyundai and we are well pleased.

It has less than 1600 km so far. Exceeding Expectations 5 out of 5 stars Bryce Formwalt, 03/25/2021 2021 Hyundai Elantra Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT) I traded in my 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid with over 100,000 miles and was intent on getting another Sonata. But after purchasing a 2021 Elantra SEL for my son, I was SO impressed that I had to get one for myself! The Great Features For The Price Point\! 5 out of 5 stars Steve D., 04/26/2021 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT) We leased this car for our 18 year old son. The redesign is excellent and even the base model comes standard with every safety feature imaginable! While still a \$21K Hyundai with lots of hard plastic around the interior and only 147 horses under the hood, the ride is surprisingly brisk and quiet. I'm not sure you'll find this level of standard features in any other vehicle at this … price point.

Our experts take a look at the newly redesigned 2021 Hyundai Elantra. When it comes to shopping for a compact sedan, the Hyundai Elantra has always been on the outside looking in. It seemed to be missing that certain something to make it stand out in a crowded segment. For 2021, though, Hyundai set out to change that perception by completely redesigning the Elantra, inside… and out. Are these changes enough to take down the Civic and Corolla as the top choices for a small sedan? Watch our full review of the 2021 Hyundai Elantra to answer this question and a whole lot more.

It's also comfortable and strong on value. Other than a lackluster base engine, there's not much to complain about. It's a great pick for a small sedan.

As has been the case for a while now, it comes with plenty of features at a competitive price. Add in Hyundai's fantastic warranty and you've got a pretty compelling car, at least from a sensible car-buying standpoint. But Hyundai, much like it did with its recent Sonata, has upped the Elantra's emotional appeal as well.

Arrow-like styling lines along its sides add some character, too. Inside, there's more rear legroom and a new instrument panel design with available twin digital display screens. Set side by side, the screens impart a distinct European luxury sedan vibe. Hyundai's got some sport sedan mojo going on for 2021, too. A new Elantra N debuts as the most powerful Elantra ever. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that puts out 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. This motor, along with a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers, makes the N an absolute blast to drive on curvy back roads. The N's adjustable drive modes make real differences in the car's character. Eco/Normal mode is the bottom floor and Sport mode is just one simple step up. N mode seems like two or three extra levels — it's that much of a leap. This is when all the extreme ear-to-ear grinning starts. Here is when you get all the exhaust pops and burbles, a super-quick throttle response and a sharper steering feel. This is also when the suspension gets into a "Oh, hey, I feel almost every bump and road rut like a moon crater" mode. If the N is too over-the-top, there's also the more affordable Elantra N Line that comes with a turbocharged 201-hp engine. Or if fuel economy is what you're looking for, there's also an all-new hybrid version of the Elantra. Hyundai says it will get around 50 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Overall, we're impressed with the new Elantra. If you are, too, check out our Expert Rating to read our in-depth analysis of the ups and downs of this latest Elantra. ## Edmunds Expert Rating edmunds TESTED by the Edmunds Experts Good 7\.7 out of 10 We drove the 2021 Hyundai Elantra on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year. ## Performance 7/10 How does the Elantra drive? The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is lacking when it comes to speed. At Edmunds' test track, our Elantra reached 60 mph in 9.4 seconds, which is slower than average compared to rivals. It's not terrible, but passing or getting up to highway speeds can be laborious. What power it does have is sent through a continuously variable automatic transmission that Hyundai tunes for optimal fuel economy, so it too is not very impressive for spirited driving. But in typical situations, the transmission delivers a smooth experience, and there's only a little of the notorious droning noise that CVTs are known for. Elsewhere, the Elantra is pretty middle-of-the-road. It handles corners decently well for a small sedan, behaving predictably, and it's not easily upset over bumps. But for a sporty drive, you'll want to get the N Line, which comes with a sport-tuned suspension. ## Comfort 7\.5/10 How comfortable is the Elantra? The Elantra delivers a smooth ride. There's enough plushness to soak up bumps in the road well, but it also settles relatively quickly. The seats are also comfortable for the most part. The driver's seat bottom feels just a touch flat, and it might not provide enough support on road trips more than a few hours long. There isn't much in the way of side bolstering to keep you set when cornering either. The climate controls are easy to use, with big dials to command the available dual-zone climate control. The heated seats, when equipped, activate quickly. There is noticeable wind noise as you increase speed, but that is typical for the class, and passengers can more or less carry on conversations at normal volume. ## Interior 8/10 How’s the interior? The Elantra cabin is well thought-out, with plenty of space and good outward visibility in the front row. We're also pleased to see the back seat gained 2 inches of legroom over the previous generation, allowing for quite generous accommodations for taller passengers. Their heads might still graze the ceiling, but the Elantra is among the most spacious in this class. Our Elantra Limited test vehicle came with a power-adjustable driver's seat. It has a wide adjustment range, so it should suit short and tall drivers alike. The steering wheel also has a generous amount of adjustment, making it simple to find your ideal driving position. ## Technology 8\.5/10 How’s the tech? The Limited's twin display screens, one for the gauges and one for the infotainment, are pleasing to use. The infotainment screen has easy-to-follow menus and quick and clear directions. The Elantra also scores extra points for including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though they only come with the standard 8-inch infotainment screen. Confusingly, the larger 10.25-inch screen requires a cord to run either smartphone integration system. Another bright spot is the Elantra Limited's improved voice activation system that responds accurately to web searches, addresses and even climate control commands. The available full suite of advanced driving aids is one of the best modern systems, with smooth adaptive cruise control and lane centering. We experienced no false warnings during our testing. ## Storage 7\.5/10 How’s the storage? Trunk space is slightly above average for the class, at 14.2 cubic feet, which is the same size as in the previous-generation Elantra. The rear seats fold flat with remote release latches in the trunk — some may find them more convenient than the releases on the seats themselves. Cupholders and storage cubbies for front passengers are nothing out of the ordinary. A wireless smartphone charging pad on the Limited trim is a nice touch. In the back, there are two anchors on each rear outboard seat to fasten child safety seats into place. The anchors are easy to find between the cushions. The spacious back seat means you should be able to load rear-facing seats without having to scrunch into your driving position. ## Fuel Economy 9\.5/10 How’s the fuel economy? Depending on the model, the Elantra with the 2.0-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 35-37 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Either way you're looking at excellent fuel economy. We easily verified the EPA's estimate and even exceeded it on our mixed-driving 115-mile test route, achieving an impressive 41.8 mpg. ## Value 9/10 Is the Elantra a good value? Now you've entered the Elantra's sweet spot. It simply runs away from the competition with five years/60,000 miles of limited warranty coverage, 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain, and free maintenance for three years/36,000 miles. We also find the pricing attractive, especially considering the long list of features that comes standard on every model. Our only complaints: the amount of hard plastic in the cabin and a back seat nearly barren of any design. ## Wildcard 6\.5/10 The Elantra has some "wow" factor with its effusive exterior styling, large bright screens and excellent voice controls. But it makes no claim to driving excitement and it's easy to see why. Hyundai made an excellent all-arounder, not a passion purchase. That's what the N Line version is for. ## 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim level differences The 2021 Elantra is a four-door small sedan available with four engine options. The first, and the one most Elantras will come with, is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque) connected to a continuously variable transmission, or CVT automatic. The Elantra is front-wheel-drive only. [Compare the 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim levels in-depth.](https://www.edmunds.com/hyundai/elantra/2021/trims/) ## Which Elantra trim does Edmunds recommend? For the regular Elantra, go with the SEL trim. The base SE is already well equipped with an abundance of driver assistance features plus both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. But the SEL doesn't cost much more and gets you a few more desirable extras (keyless entry, for example) plus the option to add even more features from option packages.

We drove Ford Escape, and Chevy Equinox and Malibu. We wanted to drop our payment by \$125. That ruled out the 3 vehicles we drove. We tried the Elantra and the ride was as smooth and quiet as our Explorer. The Malibu had too much road noise. The seats are real comfortable. Driving home, I … got up to 43.9 mpg. We have not had the time to play with the electronics. Cruising down the road, it (SEL) has lane change adjustment and an adjustable setting for the car to automatically slow down for slower vehicles in front of you. Once you change lanes, it will automatically speed back up to the cruise setting. Love the black grill and rims. Great looking car. It is not a dragster but will get you up to speed quickly. Test drive the vehicle and it will sell you. This is our first Hyundai and we are well pleased. KEEPS OVERHEATING 1 out of 5 stars Ms Stewart , 11/07/2021 2021 Hyundai Elantra SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT) I've had my brand new Hyundai Elantra 2021 for less than 3 months and it has managed to overheat twice already.

The Great Features For The Price Point\! 5 out of 5 stars Steve D., 04/26/2021 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT) We leased this car for our 18 year old son. The redesign is excellent and even the base model comes standard with every safety feature imaginable! While still a \$21K Hyundai with lots of hard plastic around the interior and only 147 horses under the hood, the ride is surprisingly brisk and quiet. I'm not sure you'll find this level of standard features in any other vehicle at this … price point. Three years complimentary maintenance and a phenomenal app for your phone to control the car rounds this one out\! ## 2021 Hyundai Elantra video 2021 Hyundai Elantra Review \\| Driving the Redesigned Elantra \\| Price, MPG, Release Date & More\! Our experts take a look at the newly redesigned 2021 Hyundai Elantra. When it comes to shopping for a compact sedan, the Hyundai Elantra has always been on the outside looking in. It seemed to be missing that certain something to make it stand out in a crowded segment. For 2021, though, Hyundai set out to change that perception by completely redesigning the Elantra, inside… and out. Are these changes enough to take down the Civic and Corolla as the top choices for a small sedan? Watch our full review of the 2021 Hyundai Elantra to answer this question and a whole lot more. ## 2021 Elantra Features & Specs Type: Sedan Trim: SE * \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| MSRP (New) Excludes Destination Fee \| \$19,650 \| \| Engine Type \| Gas \| \| Combined MPG \| 37 MPG \| \| Cost to Drive \| \$130/month \| \| Seating \| 5 seats \| \| Cargo Capacity All Seats In Place \| 14\.2 cu.ft. \| \| Drivetrain \| front wheel drive \| \| Warranty \| 5 years / 60,000 miles \| * * ## Safety Our experts like the Elantra models: Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist Issues an alert if the vehicle is about to collide with another vehicle in the next lane and may apply brakes to avoid or reduce the impact. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist Detects oncoming vehicles while reversing and issues an alert. Brakes automatically if appropriate. Lane Following Assist Makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
