The 2024 Hyundai Elantra is breathing new life into the compact sedan segment with a refreshed design and enhanced features. According to automotive experts at H + H Auto + Komfort, the Elantra's comprehensive updates, particularly the sporty styling of the Elantra N, are driving renewed interest in this once-popular category.
Refreshed Styling
The 2024 Elantra features a redesigned front fascia with slimmer LED daytime running lights, a revised two-piece grille, and reshaped fenders. A new rear diffuser with a U-shaped silver trim adds a touch of sportiness. The Elantra N receives even more aggressive styling enhancements, including new front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and a rear spoiler.
Powertrain Options
The Elantra continues to offer a range of powertrain choices. The base SE and SEL trims come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The N Line and Limited trims get a more potent 1.6-liter turbocharged engine delivering 201 horsepower, mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The performance-oriented Elantra N boasts a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine generating 276 horsepower, available with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
For those seeking efficiency, the Elantra Hybrid combines a 1.6-liter engine with an electric motor for a total output of 139 horsepower.
Enhanced Interior and Technology
Inside, the Elantra benefits from softer door trim, new interior colors, and available H-Tex leather upholstery. The digital instrument cluster and infotainment system have been updated, and more USB-C ports and wireless charging are now available. Higher trims get a 10.25-inch infotainment screen and a new Bose audio system.
Advanced Safety Features
The 2024 Elantra comes standard with a comprehensive suite of safety technologies, including Blind Spot Collision Avoidance, Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist, and more. For 2024, all trims gain rear side airbags, a rear seatbelt reminder, and haptic steering.
