Since the Elantra can be obtained for an incredibly affordable price, the compact sedan is sure to surprise the uninitiated with its inspired styling, sharp handling, and feature-rich interior. With its highly efficient engine and spacious interior, it's the perfect everyday cruiser. Here's your introduction to the brilliant 2023 Hyundai Elantra!

Power and Performance

The Elantra's standard powerplant is a naturally aspirated 2.0L inline-four engine that develops 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a smooth continuously variable transmission that helps make acceleration feel peppy and achieve an EPA rating of up to 40 MPG on the highway. The extra-sporty N-Line models come with a 1.6L turbocharged inline-four that increases horsepower to 201 and torque to 195 lb-ft.

Around tight corners, the Elantra feels composed and nimble thanks to its well-tuned MacPherson strut suspension and available multi-link rear suspension. Adding to the car's sporty driving experience are available 18-inch wheels and performance all-season tires.

 Passenger Cabin

Even when you consider the Elantra's compact size, its interior feels incredibly roomy. While front passengers enjoy 42.3 inches of legroom, those seated in the rear can also stretch out their legs with 38 inches of space. The upright and ergonomic positioning of the driver's seat lets you get a commanding view of your surroundings. The sleek-looking dashboard houses easily accessible driving and climate controls, so that you can stay focused on the road.

Available amenities like heated seating, dual-zone climate control, customizable ambient lighting, and high-quality synthetic leather trim add an extra degree of comfort. The 14.2 cubic feet of space within the trunk lets you easily transport a week's worth of groceries with room to spare.

 Infotainment System and Connectivity

Sporting a standard 8-inch or available 10.25-inch touchscreen, the Elantra's ultra-responsive infotainment system allows you to integrate your smartphone with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, listen to streaming audio, and utilize wired connections with the help of dual USB ports. Bluelink's Connected Car Service is available and brings the convenience of using your smart device to remotely start the car's engine and climate control system.

Driver Assistance Technology

Besides its five-star NHTSA crash safety rating, the Elantra also keeps you and your passengers safe with its comprehensive Hyundai SmartSense technology suite. The suite boasts numerous features, including standard automated emergency braking, forward pre-collision detection with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic monitoring, and automated high beams.

SmartSense even features a driver attention monitoring system that knows when the driver is unable to maintain focus while driving. The system will play attention-grabbing audio and visual cues to remind you to pull over and get some rest.

After looking over its long list of great features, it's easy to see why Hyundai's Elantra is one of the best sellers in its segment. Contact Crain Hyundai of North Little Rock today and schedule your test drive!
