Product Overview

The 7th-generation Hyundai Elantra evolves the four-door-coupe look with "Parametric Dynamics" design. It is the first in the compact sedan segment to introduce wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also leads the segment in introducing the first Digital Key that allows owners to unlock, start, and drive with smartphone.
On the outside, the CN7 Elantra wears a bold fascia with jewel-like shapes, strong character lines, and high-tech-looking taillights. Inside, large displays are available for the infotainment system, and slim vents melt into the design smoothly.
The Elantra N Line, powered by the turbocharged variant of the 1.6L GDI engine, produces up to 201 hp and sends power to the front wheels via either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT. Hyundai engineers implemented several mechanical improvements to Elantra’s suspension to increase stiffness for a gripping performance, aided by 18-inch alloy wheels, multi-link independent rear suspension and larger front brake rotors.
The 2021 Elantra will also have a hybrid variant with 50 estimated MPG.

Reviewer score 72% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from cnet have found:
A 1.6-liter I4 and 1.34-kWh battery combine to produce 139 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. Depending on trim, the Hybrid is anywhere from 240 to 340 pounds heavier than the standard Elantra. The Hybrid is a quiet commuter, with very little wind or road noise making its way into the cabin.
Pros
  • Gorgeous styling
  • Excellent fuel economy
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • No gas-only option

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The 2021 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid moved quickly and smoothly while driving on LA's crowded streets and freeways. The interior is equally stylish and roomy, even for taller rear seat passengers. Hyundai's Blue Link system provides routine telematics features such as automatic crash notification and emergency roadside assistance.
Pros
  • Powerful six-speed transmission
  • Excellent fuel economy
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • Lack of in-car connectivity
