The 2021 Hyundai Elantra lineup offers four different trim levels and two hybrid-motor alternatives. A compact sedan with a powerful engine, this is a great pick for commuters and offers excellent value for money. All trim levels come with standard safety features such as blind-spot collision avoidance assistance, rear automatic braking, forward collision mitigation, and driver attention warning.
1. Elantra SE
Engineering
This is the most basic of the lineup, but that doesn’t make it any less powerful. With a 2.0 four-cylinder and 147 horsepower engine, it can go from 0 to 60 miles in less than 8 seconds. It comes equipped with Smartstream Intelligent Varying automatic transmission, which results in excellent fuel economy.
Interior and Technology
The SE comes with cloth-upholstered and adjustable seats, a four-speaker audio system, and air conditioning. It wirelessly connects with Google Auto and Apple CarPlay and has an 8-inch touchscreen. It also comes with dual USB ports.
2. Elantra SEL
Basics
Upgrades from the SE to the SEL are mostly on the convenience and comfort front. The SEL costs a little over $1.5K more than the SE (according to the official Hyundai website). This gets you a 6-speaker audio system, keyless ignition-and-entry, dual automatic climate control, and satellite radio.
Upgrade Packages
If you want to upgrade a bit further, you can choose from two packages. The “Convenience Package” includes adaptive cruise control, a 10.25-inch touchscreen display, heated front seats, and a wireless smartphone charging pad. The “Premium Package” includes an 8-speaker Bose audio sound system, LED+bulb taillights, a sunroof, and the Hyundai Digital Key to open and close your vehicle via smartphone.
3. N-Line
Engineering
Go one step up the ladder with the Hyundai N-Line trim. Choose from a 4-cylinder, 1.6-turbo engine with a 6-speed manual transmission or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (both offering a 201 horsepower). It adds shock absorbers and sports-tuned springs for better handling thanks to a more sophisticated rear suspension.
Interior and Technology
A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, heated front seats, heated outside mirrors and a wireless charging pad are all standard-included in the N-Line trim.
4. Limited
5. Limited
