My wife and I had been looking at downsizing from a 2020 Ford Explorer which we really liked. We drove Ford Escape, and Chevy Equinox and Malibu. We wanted to drop our payment by $125. That ruled out the 3 vehicles we drove. We tried the Elantra and the ride was as smooth and quiet as our Explorer. The Malibu had too much road noise. The seats are real comfortable. Driving home, I got up to 43.9 mpg. We have not had the time to play with the electronics. Cruising down the road, it (SEL) has lane change adjustment and an adjustable setting for the car to automatically slow down for slower vehicles in front of you. Once you change lanes, it will automatically speed back up to the cruise setting. Love the black grill and rims. Great looking car. It is not a dragster but will get you up to speed quickly. Test drive the vehicle and it will sell you. This is our first Hyundai and we are well pleased.

I traded in my 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid with over 100,000 miles and was intent on getting another Sonata. But after purchasing a 2021 Elantra SEL for my son, I was SO impressed that I had to get one for myself! The

I've had my brand new Hyundai Elantra 2021 for less than 3 months and it has managed to overheat twice already. It has less than 1600 km so far.

Great Features For The Price Point!

We leased this car for our 18 year old son. The redesign is excellent and even the base model comes standard with every safety feature imaginable! While still a $21K Hyundai with lots of hard plastic around the interior and only 147 horses under the hood, the ride is surprisingly brisk and quiet. I'm not sure you'll find this level of standard features in any other vehicle at this price point. Three years complimentary maintenance and a phenomenal app for your phone to control the car rounds this one out!

My wife and I recently completed a round-trip drive from Birmingham to DC. For our way up we drove the entire length of the gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway. The car handled the curvy road with aplomb, and was a joy for both driver and passenger. The 45 mph speed limit on the BRP was ideal for the car, and so for our first 1,200 miles we averaged just over 55 mpg (for a few long stretches we were averaging in the 60s). On our way back we took the freeway and cruised at 78 mph for 1,000 miles (and were loaded with some of our son's possessions to help with his move; the car holds a lot), which brought our overall fuel economy average for the trip (2,036 miles) down to 51.8 mpg. One of the funnier moments of the whole adventure was a lunch stop in rural Tennessee, where we met the only other Elantra Hybrid we've seen since our purchase a few months ago (same for him). We chatted briefly about how great our cars are before heading our separate ways...
