ELANTRA

2026 Hyundai Elantra Hero

The Elantra has long been the essence of a practical, affordable compact sedan, and that has kept it a mainstay in the segment since its 1990 debut. As part of the model’s seventh generation, the 2026 Elantra has a slight change to its lineup, as the former SEL Convenience trim is not the SEL Sport Premium. Among its amenities are wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a hands-free smart trunk release, and wireless smartphone charging. The SEL Sport now has a hands-free smart trunk and rides on black-finished alloy wheels in a fresh design. Beyond that, the Elantra continues to offer something for every driver, with two available powertrains and a versatile lineup spanning from the economical SE to the upscale Limited and the sport-tuned N Line.
