Testing the 2024 Hyundai Elantra Compact Sedan
|
Posted By: Randi Payton on May 26, 2024 This year, Hyundai improved its competitiveness in the compact sedan segment by enhancing the 2024 Elantra’s performance, safety features, colors, and technology. After test-driving the 2024 Elantra for a week, I walked away with a few impressions. Firstly, the new grille and updated LED headlights on the front gave it a sportier look, while upgraded interior materials inside felt more premium for a moderately priced economy car. Hyundai has been known for packing its vehicles with modern technology and value, usually in pricier vehicles. Hyundai also added premium class safety technology, including lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic, and rear side-impact airbags and a seatbelt For a compact luxury sedan priced under $30,000, you get a standard 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Hyundai’s Blue Line connectivity, and Smartsense safety system with adaptive cruise and forward collision avoidance. Available options include a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a Bose premium audio system. Models/Price: The 2024 Elantra, with its several trims and unique features, offers a compelling value proposition. Starting at just $22,270 for the SE, it's a testament to Hyundai's commitment to providing luxury at an affordable price. The SEL ($24,690), Limited ($28,180), and Elantra N ($29,580) MSRP models offer even more features for your money. The Elantra also offers Hybrid models, further enhancing its appeal. Power/Engines: The 2024 Elantra offers a range of engine options, each designed to give you the desired performance. The Base, SEL, and Limited are powered by a 2.0-liter inline-4, delivering a balanced 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking a bit more thrill, the N Line delivers 201 horsepower from a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 with 195 lb-ft of torque. And for the ultimate power, the Elantra N generates a whopping 276 horses and 276 lb-ft of torque from a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder. The SE and SEL models are paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while the N Line uses a dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Fuel Economy: According to the EPA, the base engines average 32 city/41 highway MPG, the SEL gets 31 city/40 highway, and the N line produces 28 city/35 highway MPG.
