2023 Elantra Specs

The Elantra is quicker than competitor sedans, sporting a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and approximately 147 horsepower. The Elantra is also more versatile than any other sedan on the market, as it has shorter stopping distances than its competitors, such as the Kia Forte.

Hyundai spared no safety concerns with the newest Elantra.

The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) also gave this vehicle a Top Safety Pick.

The Elantra has a plethora of safety features, including an Emergency Auto Brake, Junction-Turning Detection, Forward Collision Warning, and Pedestrian and Cyclist Watch. One favorite feature, as recorded by automotive journalists, is the Smart Cruise Control, which adapts seamlessly to unpredictable traffic, making this the perfect commuter sale.

One of the most fuel-efficient gas-powered sedans on the market is the Elantra. The 2023 model year earns up to 33 mpg in the city and hosts an impressive 43 mpg on the highway. What makes this car even more fuel efficiency and eco-friendly is its Stop-Start Feature. This allows the driver to save on gas during long idles. Regardless of the trim level that you choose, or if you go hybrid, you are saving money on your new Hyundai.

The Hyundai Elantra has gotten a facelift over the past decade. On the outside, the Elantra has a new, original, and sharp design, making sure this vehicle looks like no other on the road.

Many potential shoppers are surprised when they discover that the Elantra has 38 inches of legroom in the back seat. To put this into perspective, most sedans have 33 inches of legroom in the back, with 35 inches considered above average.

Additionally, the 2023 model year has a larger back row, making it easier than ever to help get kids in their car seats and store luggage.

A fan-favorite amenity is the Digital Key, a feature that is usually offered only on luxury cars. This digital key allows drivers to access their Elantra with only a smartphone app.
