2024 Hyundai Elantra

The 2024 Hyundai Elantra is often viewed as a practical choice for compact sedan buyers-ideal for first-time car owners, fuel-efficient, and easy to park in tight spaces. However, it also offers a lot of style and exceptional value. The bold, eye-catching exterior design stands out, while the interior provides ample space for its size. With an available hybrid powertrain, the Elantra excels in fuel efficiency.

The base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is adequate, though the turbocharged 1.6-liter in the N-Line model provides a bit more excitement. While the Elantra isn't designed for performance enthusiasts, it offers a comfortable, sensible ride. However, its handling doesn't quite match up to rivals like the Honda Civic or Mazda3, which deliver sharper steering and a more agile feel. For those looking for more thrills, the Elantra N model (reviewed separately) provides a sportier driving experience, though it comes with a higher price tag.

What's New for 2024?

The Hyundai Elantra has received a stylish facelift, featuring a more aggressive front end, sleek updated exterior lighting, and striking new wheels. With the addition of fresh color options like Exotic Green and Ultimate Red, there's even more to love about its modern look. Inside, Hyundai has made safety a priority by including rear side-impact airbags and a rear-seat seatbelt reminder as standard across all trims. Advanced safety features like lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert now come with haptic feedback through the steering wheel, offering a more intuitive driving experience.

Sleek Exterior Design

The 2024 Hyundai Elantra boasts a sleek and modern exterior design that catches the eye from every angle. With its sharp, angular lines and bold front grille, it exudes a dynamic and sporty presence on the road. The updated lighting elements, including slimmer headlights and a distinctively styled rear, further enhance its futuristic appeal. The new color options, like Exotic Green and Ultimate Red, allow drivers to personalize their Elantra while adding a touch of vibrancy to its already stunning appearance. Overall, the Elantra's exterior is a perfect blend of sophistication and boldness, making it a standout in the compact sedan market.

Modern Interior Features

To match its dramatic exterior, the cabin of the Elantra looks appropriately futuristic. The dashboard and center console wrap around the driver, while the passenger's side takes a more minimalist approach. A single LED strip follows the dashboard-spanning air vent across the width of the car, from the steering column to the passenger's-side door panel.

Passenger volume is generous, particularly in the rear seat, which helps the Elantra compete with roomier rivals such as the Sentra and the Volkswagen Jetta. It's not as luxurious as it looks in photos, though; there's plenty of hard plastic inside, which isn't surprising in this price class. In our testing, the Elantra fit six carry-on suitcases inside its trunk.
