2024 Hyundai Elantra Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Hyundai Elantra is available in four main trim levels: SE, SEL, N Line and Limited. The Elantra Hybrid and the high performance Elantra N are reviewed separately on Edmunds. The regular Elantra SE, SEL and Limited trims come with a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that's paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. The sporty N Line has a 201-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Keep reading for a rundown of the most significant features that come on each trim level.

SE
Starts things off with:

  • 15-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Height-adjustable driver's seat
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Six-speaker audio system

Standard driver assist features on all Elantras include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Elantra back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)

SEL
Adds more convenience features, such as:

  • 16-inch wheels
  • Keyless entry and push-button start
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation (deletes wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto)
  • Full digital gauge cluster display
  • Rear USB ports

An optional Convenience package for the SEL further adds:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Elantra and the car in front)
  • Enhanced forward collision mitigation system
  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Heated front seats
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Enhanced voice recognition system

Limited
This top-of-the-line trim comes loaded with all the SEL's optional features plus:

  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Sunroof
  • Bose premium audio system
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Parking sensors
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Elantra and its surroundings in tight parking situations)

Which Elantra trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the SEL trim for the best value. It adds a handful of welcome convenience and entertainment features over the base SE. The only bummer is that it doesn't come standard with traffic-adaptive cruise control but you can still get it as part of the SEL's optional Convenience package. Don't overlook the Elantra Hybrid either. It's actually preferable to the regular Elantra in many ways.
