At a Glance: The 2021 Hyundai Elantra

 

Athletic New Trim Levels

If you find yourself in need of a practical sedan but desire a bit more power under the hood, the new N or N-Line trim may be exactly what you’re looking for. The Elantra N-Line is turbocharged. It’s powered by a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder turbo engine that can generate 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Buyers can pair it with a 6-speed manual transmission or a dual-clutch 7-speed automatic.

The Elantra N model is turbocharged as well, with a 2.0-liter engine that produces 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. This engine also has the option of being paired with the 6-speed manual transmission, or buyers can opt for a dual-clutch 8-speed automatic. Both engines deliver invigorating power for a sedan in this segment.

Spacious Back Seat

One of the biggest bonuses of the 2021 Elantra redesign is the increased space in the back seat. Hyundai maximized the interior space by creating more legroom, headroom, and hip room for adults of every size to feel comfortable. Regardless of height, each back seat passenger will appreciate the expanded personal space now found in the rear.

Available Hybrid Powertrain

Fuel efficiency is important to a lot of drivers when car shopping, and a sedan is a great choice for maximizing fuel economy. Hyundai has taken it a step further by offering the 2021 Elantra with the option of equipping it with a hybrid powertrain. This drivetrain consists of an electric motor and a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder that can produce 139 horsepower and a combined EPA estimated 50 mpg.

Excellent Fuel Ratings

Drivers who do not decide to equip their Elantra with the hybrid powertrain will still be achieving an excellent fuel economy. Thanks to the IVT (Intelligent Variable Transmission), the base model of the Elantra can achieve an EPA estimated 33 miles per gallon in the city and 43 miles per gallon on the highway. Higher trim levels can expect to achieve an EPA estimated 31 miles per gallon in the city and 41 miles per gallon on the highway.

Wireless Smartphone Integration Comes Standard

Many automakers now make smartphone integration standard on their vehicles, but Hyundai has added the extra convenience of wireless integration. Going wireless declutters the front seats and removes the need to remember to bring that pesky cord.

The 2021 Elantra is a smart choice for any driver. Its athletic body can be enhanced with various trim levels or packages, and every model is great as a daily driver. The new striking exterior will turn heads every time you drive by. Come by Crain Hyundai of North Little Rock today to check out all of the aspects that make the Elantra a continued driver-favorite year after year.
