A Compact Sedan With Sharp Looks and Serious Mileage

Shopping for a Hyundai Elantra in Richmond, KY? The Elantra pairs bold styling with up to 40 mpg on the highway and a cabin that's roomier than its price tag suggests. At Gates Hyundai, we'll help you sort through six trims and land on the one that fits how you actually drive.

• Six trims run from the budget-friendly SE to the turbocharged N Line, so the lineup spans commuters and enthusiasts alike.
• A side-by-side chart lays out price, engines, fuel economy, screens, and safety tech for every trim.
• Driver assistance like Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Lane Keeping Assist comes standard, even on the entry trim.

We're part of the Gates Auto Family, a fourth-generation, family-owned group, and we've matched Central Kentucky drivers with the right sedan for a long time. No pressure, no gimmicks, just honest answers while you shop. Schedule a test drive and see which Elantra suits your week.

Efficiency First, With a Sporty Option

Five of the six trims use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, paired with Hyundai's Intelligent Variable Transmission. The SE is the mileage champ at an EPA-estimated 31 mpg city and 40 mpg highway, and the SEL Sport through Limited trims land at 30 city and 40 highway. On a tank of 12.4 gallons, that's a lot of road between fill-ups.

The N Line is the fun one. Its turbocharged 1.6-liter engine produces 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters. It also swaps the torsion-beam rear suspension for a multi-link setup and adds larger front brake rotors, so it corners with more confidence. The tradeoff shows up at the pump, at 28 city and 35 highway.

Screens, Sound, and Connection

The SE through SEL Sport Premium trims run an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your phone connects without a cable. Step up to the Limited or N Line, and you get a 10.25-inch navigation screen, a matching 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, an eight-speaker Bose audio system, and Bluelink+ connected services. Those two trims use a wired phone connection instead of wireless.

Small conveniences add up as you climb the trims. A wireless charging pad and hands-free smart trunk release start on the SEL Sport, a sunroof joins at the SEL Sport Plus, and heated front seats come along at the same step.

Safety Tech and Cabin Space

Even the SE arrives with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian detection, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, plus lane keeping and lane following help on longer drives. The SEL Sport Premium and Limited add Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, along with cyclist and junction-turning detection, and the Limited layers on Highway Driving Assist for highway miles.

Inside, every trim seats five and offers 14.2 cubic feet of trunk space with 38 inches of rear legroom, which is generous for a compact sedan. The SEL Sport Plus and Limited wear H-Tex leatherette seating, while the N Line gets sport seats in a leather-and-cloth mix. Hyundai also backs the car with a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.
