Slotting below the midsize Sonata, the compact Elantra remains one of Hyundai's most popular models, consistently selling more than 100,000 units per year.\nWhat's New\nAll-new model rides on a new platform, giving the\n2021 Elantra\na longer wheelbase than its predecessor\nThe Elantra Hybrid joins the lineup as the first electrified Elantra\nPerformance-oriented N Line to join the lineup as a late addition\nWhat We Think\nThis fully redesigned compact is a top-three contender\nin its segment\n, right off the bat. We sampled a CVT-equipped base-engine car and a manual Elantra N Line as part of\nour First Drive\n, and both variants impressed. The base car is notable for its well-tuned CVT which responds quickly to throttle inputs and avoids the lack of refinement we've experienced with other similar powertrains. Suspension is well-executed, too; few vibrations make it into the cabin and the car felt confident and planted on a tight canyon road.\nDriving the Elantra N Line, we appreciated the additional performance, despite some lag from the 1.6-liter turbo-four. The N Line's upgraded multilink rear suspension and stiffened springs provide even more body control than the standard setup without sacrificing too much in terms of comfort. We can't wait to spend more time in\nthe upcoming Elantra N\n.\nInside, the available 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display makes a strong first impression. Look a bit closer, though, and it's easy to find where Hyundai cut costs by implementing cheap, hard plastics. That said, there's plenty of space even for taller occupants. This is an excellent little compact.\nPerformance and Fuel Economy\nThe 2021 Hyundai Elantra is powered by a 2.0-liter I-4 with 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque. Hyundai's in-house-built CVT automatic is the only transmission available with the base engine. Both are carryovers from the previous generation Elantra and fuel economy numbers for 2021 read 31-33\/41-43 mpg city\/highway.\nThe 2021 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid borrows its powertrain from the Ioniq. That unit couples a 1.6-liter I-4 to a lithium-ion battery, an electric motor, and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. Total system output is 139 hp and 195 lb-ft. Resultant fuel economy is excellent; the Elantra Hybrid is EPA-rated at 49-53\/52-56 mpg.\nFor performance enthusiasts, Hyundai offers the Elantra N Line, sports 18-inch wheels and sporty aesthetics. An upgraded version of Hyundai's new 1.6-liter turbo-four making 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque is the sole engine option, and it returns 25-28\/34-36 mpg depending on whether you opt for the six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch auto. An\neven more focused Elantra N\nis on the way for 2022.\nSafety\nThe 2021 Elantra's standard SmartSense safety suite includes forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, front automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist with centering function, driver attention warning, and automatic high beams. You can upgrade the suite with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and highway driving assist (improves lane keeping assist's centering function when adaptive cruise control is active).\nTechnology\nThe base infotainment system in the 2021 Hyundai Elantra features an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. On higher trims, you can upgrade to a fully digital layout with dual 10.3-inch displays, a faster processor, an eight-speaker Bose audio system, and wireless charging.  Hyundai upgraded the voice command system, allowing you to change everything from climate control settings to the heated front seats' intensity using natural speech. The digital key feature, which allows you to open the vehicle via a smartphone (Android-only for now) or a near field communications (NFC) key card, will also be available on the 2021 Elantra.\nRecommended Trim\nThe 2021 Elantra starts at $20,655 for the basic SE trim, and goes to $26,455 for the high-end Limited trim. Our pick of the range, the SEL trim, is somewhere in between. Starting at $21,905, the Elantra SEL has attractive, modern seating upholstery textiles and alloy wheels instead of the basic steelies. Tech and convenience features are added, including dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry with push-button start, a six-speaker audio system, and an optional 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Choosing the SEL trim reduces fuel efficiency compared to the SE trim, but we think it's worth it—the 2021 Elantra SEL presents a tremendous value.\nCheck out our full 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim guide.\nElantra N, N-bound\nThe sportiest 2021 Elantra is the N-Line trim, which features a punchy turbo-four engine and larger wheels among its sporty upgrades. For 2022, the Elantra crosses the line and debuts in full-on N form. This thing\nlooks like a little monster\n, figuratively and literally. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine slams out 276 hp and relatively massive 289 lb-ft of torque, channeled to the front wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic or six-speed manual transmission. A limited slip differential keeps things from getting too sketchy. A new multilink rear  suspension arrangement and huge 14.2-inch front brake rotors are among the chassis enhancements. The Elantra N's menacing visage, red accent details, and sporty wheels leave no question as to what its purpose is: going fast, being fun, and making noise. Expect it to arrive later in 2021 for the 2022 model year.\nWhat's Your Car Worth?\nMotorTrend calculates your car's value in\nthree free and easy steps\n- using the same Black Book® data dealers use to appraise vehicles.\nGet My Trade-In Value","attrs_markdown":"![comScore](https:\/\/sb.scorecardresearch.com\/p?c1=2&c2=6035748&cv=3.9.1&cj=1)\n\n- [News](https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news)\n- [Reviews](https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/reviews)\n- [Buyer's Guide](https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/car-finder)\n- [Events](https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/auto-shows)\n\n[Join Newsletter](https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/newsletters)\n\n1.

An [even more focused Elantra N](https://www.motortrend.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2022/2022-hyundai-elantra-n-prototype-first-drive) is on the way for 2022. ### Safety The 2021 Elantra's standard SmartSense safety suite includes forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, front automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist with centering function, driver attention warning, and automatic high beams. You can upgrade the suite with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and highway driving assist (improves lane keeping assist's centering function when adaptive cruise control is active). ### Technology The base infotainment system in the 2021 Hyundai Elantra features an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. On higher trims, you can upgrade to a fully digital layout with dual 10.3-inch displays, a faster processor, an eight-speaker Bose audio system, and wireless charging. Hyundai upgraded the voice command system, allowing you to change everything from climate control settings to the heated front seats' intensity using natural speech. The digital key feature, which allows you to open the vehicle via a smartphone (Android-only for now) or a near field communications (NFC) key card, will also be available on the 2021 Elantra.

Our pick of the range, the SEL trim, is somewhere in between. Starting at \$21,905, the Elantra SEL has attractive, modern seating upholstery textiles and alloy wheels instead of the basic steelies. Tech and convenience features are added, including dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry with push-button start, a six-speaker audio system, and an optional 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Choosing the SEL trim reduces fuel efficiency compared to the SE trim, but we think it's worth it—the 2021 Elantra SEL presents a tremendous value. Check out our full 2021 Hyundai Elantra trim guide. ### Elantra N, N-bound The sportiest 2021 Elantra is the N-Line trim, which features a punchy turbo-four engine and larger wheels among its sporty upgrades. For 2022, the Elantra crosses the line and debuts in full-on N form. This thing [looks like a little monster](https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-hyundai-elantra-n-first-look-review), figuratively and literally. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine slams out 276 hp and relatively massive 289 lb-ft of torque, channeled to the front wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic or six-speed manual transmission. A limited slip differential keeps things from getting too sketchy. A new multilink rear suspension arrangement and huge 14.2-inch front brake rotors are among the chassis enhancements. The Elantra N's menacing visage, red accent details, and sporty wheels leave no question as to what its purpose is: going fast, being fun, and making noise. Expect it to arrive later in 2021 for the 2022 model year. ## What's Your Car Worth?

Readable Markdown	The seventh-generation Hyundai Elantra marks the debut of the Korean brand's radical new design language. Slotting below the midsize Sonata, the compact Elantra remains one of Hyundai's most popular models, consistently selling more than 100,000 units per year. ### What's New - All-new model rides on a new platform, giving the [2021 Elantra](https://www.motortrend.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2021) a longer wheelbase than its predecessor - The Elantra Hybrid joins the lineup as the first electrified Elantra - Performance-oriented N Line to join the lineup as a late addition ### What We Think This fully redesigned compact is a top-three contender [in its segment](https://www.motortrend.com/style/sedan%3Fsubclass%3Dcompact%2520sedan), right off the bat. We sampled a CVT-equipped base-engine car and a manual Elantra N Line as part of [our First Drive](https://www.motortrend.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2021/2021-hyundai-elantra-first-drive), and both variants impressed. The base car is notable for its well-tuned CVT which responds quickly to throttle inputs and avoids the lack of refinement we've experienced with other similar powertrains. Suspension is well-executed, too; few vibrations make it into the cabin and the car felt confident and planted on a tight canyon road. Driving the Elantra N Line, we appreciated the additional performance, despite some lag from the 1.6-liter turbo-four. The N Line's upgraded multilink rear suspension and stiffened springs provide even more body control than the standard setup without sacrificing too much in terms of comfort. We can't wait to spend more time in [the upcoming Elantra N](https://www.motortrend.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2022/2022-hyundai-elantra-n-prototype-first-drive). Inside, the available 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display makes a strong first impression. Look a bit closer, though, and it's easy to find where Hyundai cut costs by implementing cheap, hard plastics. That said, there's plenty of space even for taller occupants. This is an excellent little compact. ### Performance and Fuel Economy The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is powered by a 2.0-liter I-4 with 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque. Hyundai's in-house-built CVT automatic is the only transmission available with the base engine. Both are carryovers from the previous generation Elantra and fuel economy numbers for 2021 read 31-33/41-43 mpg city/highway. The 2021 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid borrows its powertrain from the Ioniq. That unit couples a 1.6-liter I-4 to a lithium-ion battery, an electric motor, and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. Total system output is 139 hp and 195 lb-ft. Resultant fuel economy is excellent; the Elantra Hybrid is EPA-rated at 49-53/52-56 mpg. For performance enthusiasts, Hyundai offers the Elantra N Line, sports 18-inch wheels and sporty aesthetics. An upgraded version of Hyundai's new 1.6-liter turbo-four making 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque is the sole engine option, and it returns 25-28/34-36 mpg depending on whether you opt for the six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch auto. An [even more focused Elantra N](https://www.motortrend.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2022/2022-hyundai-elantra-n-prototype-first-drive) is on the way for 2022. ### Safety The 2021 Elantra's standard SmartSense safety suite includes forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, front automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist with centering function, driver attention warning, and automatic high beams.
