The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is distinguishing itself in a shrinking but highly competitive market where many manufacturers have opted to leave the small car segment. Hyundai also enhances the Elantra’s charm with a stunning new interior and exterior style, a modern electric version, and a sporty N Line edition designed for enthusiasts. Hyundai enters the market with confidence.
The new Hyundai Elantra features the latest technologies, such as Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Their goal is some advanced driver assistance technologies, enhanced safety features, comfort, and better efficiency in everyday use.
Besides, with its new Elantra, Hyundai wants to ensure itself to remain among the surviving manufacturers in this segment, pushing harder and releasing more innovation for the initiative to attract customers left by companies that actually chose to give up.
Hyundai never gets tired of ensuring their compact sedans are rich in technology and better quality.
Hyundai Elantra Interior
The new Elantra has a nice analog and an excellent 8-inch touchscreen display infotainment system for the base model, and this device supports Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay. The fantastic 10.25-inch widescreen display opens functionality such as navigation and split-screen applications.
The more prominent display is now only compatible with the wired edition of the mobile integration package we described earlier. However, Hyundai plans to improve it in the coming model years. Larger entertainment system monitors are supported by similarly sized digital measurement clusters.
The driver’s cabin has a cockpit-like configuration framed by a wide grip that extends almost the center console’s length and ends at the midpoint of the dashboard. The front seats are spacious and very supportive of the body position. But there aren’t as many settings here as most economy cars.
The material behind it is less spectacular, and for comforts like a charging case or temperature control for the rear seats, you can think of a bigger Hyundai Sonata. Hyundai cars’ younger generation clearly shows significant technical changes to the previous version, so users hope this story continues. Hyundai aims to say if they desire to sell small cars is a serious subject. The gap between the hybrid and the non-hybrid Elantra is slight; it’s got 201 hp and 195 lb-feet of torque.
2021 Hyundai Elantra Price and Features
Hyundai hasn’t disclosed the Elantra 2021 pricing details, but we are aware that there will be four trims they are offering:
- SE
- SEL
- N Line
- Limited
The topping range variant is Limited, which is fully equipped and doesn’t offer any more packages. The main selling points of the N-Line unit are its excellent performance powertrain and sporty suspension. We hope that it will be equipped with features similar to those seen on SEL.
Elantra provides many remarkable features, such as a front cup holder that can be adjusted for 2 distinct depths and a ventilated wireless charger.
Also, during charging, the latter helps reduce device temperature, speeds it up, and increases the convenience of picking up the phone whenever it’s time to go. Unfortunately, it’s only accessible with a larger touchscreen, meaning it can’t be paired with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay wireless. If you use either of these functions, you’ll need to be connected to your phone, which only negates one advantage of wireless charging.
