While the Elantra enters its sixth-generation, Hyundai Motor America announced pricing for its all-new sedan. Starting at $17,150, the base model is $100 less than the outgoing model.
Assembled in both Montgomery, Alabama, and Ulsan, South Korea, the 2017 Elantra comes with a refined design and modern style combined with superior features, the latest in safety and multimedia technology.

The new model is offered in three distinct levels. The SE is the most basic model, equipped with popular options and technology. The Eco is the fuel-efficient turbo model, and Limited is the premium model with leather and advanced safety technology.

"As Hyundai's best-selling vehicle, it is essential that the all-new Elantra delivers a compelling value in a particularly competitive and important segment. Not only is the 2017 Elantra priced $100 less than the outgoing model, we also enhanced the value on our most popular option package to provide consumers with access to premium features and technology on volume models," Scott Margason, director of Product Planning of Hyundai Motor America, stated.

Elantra's base SE model is available with a Popular Equipment package featuring high consumer demand features and a Tech package, including all new-luxuries, such as LED daytime running lights, Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and a hands-free smart trunk.

The Limited trim starts at $22,350 and comes with standard leather seats, a Tech Package that contains the latest multimedia technology, such as eight-inch touchscreen navigation with Infinity premium audio system and Clari-Fi Music Restoration Technology.

Other features for the Elantra Limited include a segment-first integrated memory system for the driver seat and outside mirrors, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist System, and HID headlights with Dynamic Bending Light.

Both these versions are powered by a 2.0-liter Nu MPI Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder engine, developing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft (180 Nm) of torque. The power unit is linked to either a standard six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

The Eco trim features a 1.4-liter Kappa turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine, paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

While the SE and Limited versions are arriving in dealerships this month, the Eco will be available this Spring. Also, a Sport model is expected later this year.
