Used 2021 Hyundai Elantra Sedan Trims Comparison

Next up is the Elantra N Line. It has a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (201 hp, 195 lb-ft of torque) paired to either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The new Elantra Hybrid has a hybrid powertrain with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (139 hp total system output) and a six-speed automatic transmission. Hyundai says it should get more than 50 mpg in combined city/highway driving.

Finally, the line-topping Elantra N boasts a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (276 hp, 289 lb-ft of torque) paired to either a six-speed manual transmission or a new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Got all that? Now, for the regular Elantra, there are three main trim levels available: SE, SEL and Limited. The Elantra Hybrid only comes in SEL and Limited. (Note that the listed SEL and Limited features below are fully applicable to the regular Elantra only; expect a few minor variations for the Elantra Hybrid SEL and Limited.)
