The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is every commuter’s dream. It’s equipped with advanced technology and safety features while sporting a modern look and feel. Here are a few reasons why the Elantra is a great ride for your daily commute. 
- Capable Performance
The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is a very capable car when it comes to commuting. Most of the Elantra trim levels are equipped with a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable automatic transmission, delivering up to 147 horsepower. The Elantra GT Hatchback has the same engine, but it’s paired with a six-speed automatic transmission giving it 161 horsepower. The Elantra Eco trim level features a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that’s paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, providing you with 128 horsepower.
If you’re going for a sportier look, you can try out the Elantra Sport. Its 1.6-liter engine combined with a seven-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual offers an impressive 201 horsepower. While none of these engines will have you hitting the race track, they offer more than enough power for your everyday commute.
What makes the 2020 Elantra a perfect commuting car is its impressive fuel economy. The Elantra’s base engine, the 2.0-liter, gets 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. The ultimate money saver is the Elantra Eco, with 33 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. If you’re hooked on the sportier trim levels, no worries. Their fuel efficiency is still quite good with 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.
Another key performance feature that every commuter wants, aside from power and efficiency, is comfort. Thanks to the 2020 Elantra’s suspension, this feature is more than covered. Every ride is smooth and gentle, its steering responds well, its brakes are strong, and it handles like a champ.
- All-Day Connectivity
From the 2020 Hyundai Elantra’s 8-inch touchscreen to the available Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, you’ll stay connected everywhere you go. With Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, you’ll have access to your phone from the car’s navigation screen. You can send messages, take or make phone calls, access your favorite playlists or podcasts, and more. The Elantra’s wireless charging pad makes charging your phone a breeze. No more tangled cords or struggling to plug it in while driving. Simply set your phone on the charging pad and you’re good to go.
- Advanced Safety
The 2020 Hyundai Elantra comes with many of today’s most advanced safety features and driver-assistance technologies. Its base model, the SE, is equipped with forward collision-avoidance assist, lane-keep assist, a rearview camera, and a driver attention monitor. If you’re looking for even greater peace of mind, you can check out the other available SmartSense driver aids like lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, high beam assist, safe exit assist, smart cruise control, and blind-spot collision warning.
