2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL

The 2024 Elantra is a compact sedan that squares off against the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Nissan Sentra. The Elantra handles with a composed, tidy feel, and the N Line adds a welcome dose of sportiness. The ride is soft and absorbent on most trims, though the N Line's firmer setup trades some comfort for sharper responses. Inside, the cabin is roomy for the class, with a clean dashboard and easy-to-use controls. Stepping up from the SE gets you convenience features like proximity key entry, wireless device charging, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a larger set of driver aids. The 2.0L I4 makes 147 horsepower and pairs with an IVT that keeps the ride smooth, earning 34 mpg combined in everyday driving. The SEL is the first trim to offer Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Highway Driving Assist, making highway commutes noticeably easier.
