What's New for the 2026 Hyundai Elantra?
The 2026 Hyundai Elantra lineup now includes an SEL Sport Premium trim, which replaces last year's SEL Convenience.
What Are the 2026 Elantra Trims & Features?
Hyundai's trim range for the Elantra still starts with the SE. This sensible base model comes standard with an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a six-speaker audio system, and LED projector headlights.
The SEL Sport gives the Elantra a sportier appearance, featuring 17-inch alloy wheels and a black glass rear spoiler. The new SEL Sport Premium preserves that athletic styling while adding upscale elements such as a power sunroof, upgraded interior materials, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go.
For a more premium cabin, the Limited trim includes ventilated front seats and upgraded driver-assistance features.
Performance-minded drivers should consider the Elantra N Line, which pairs a stronger engine with a sports-tuned suspension and exclusive seats for the N Line, creating a more engaging driving experience.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Elantra Have?
Most Elantra models are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower, sent to the front wheels via an Intelligent Variable Transmission. The N Line features a 1.6-liter turbocharged GDI four-cylinder engine rated at 201 horsepower, paired with a seven-speed DCT automatic transmission for enhanced performance.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Elantra Include?
The Elantra is equipped with a standard set of active-safety features designed to reduce crash risk. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection can automatically apply the brakes when a pedestrian or other obstacle is detected ahead. Lane Following Assist provides subtle steering adjustments to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane. Other standard features include Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Forward-Collision-Avoidance Warning, and High Beam Assist. Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go is offered on certain trims for easier long-distance driving.
