2021 Hyundai Elantra Photos, engines & full specs

Hyundai released the Elantra and the Elantra Hybrid in 2021, at the Lot Studios in West Hollywood. The new models came with a redesigned exterior as well as upgraded useful features.

In order to reach the new exciting design, Hyundai reshaped the car by making it longer and wider and lower (the car was lowered by 0.8-inch). All these changes did not affect the roomy interior.

The Elantra was equipped with a 2.0-liter MPI engine which developed 147 hp and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. Due to the Intelligent Variable Transmission, both performance and fuel consumption were improved. The car used the K3 Vehicle Platform, which allowed lowering the center of gravity, giving the driver an improved efficient handling.

The interior offered high functionality and comfort. While the headroom remained the same as in the previous models, the legroom was improved due to the longer wheelbase. The trunk space was also a forte of the new Elantra.

The infotainment system available consisted of two futuristic 10.25-inch screens, both of them placed under the same piece of glass. Included was a smart navigation system with real-time route updates.

The smartest feature used by Hyundai when it comes to technology was the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While everybody was used to keeping their phones plugged, that was no longer the case. The car was also equipped with dual Bluetooth which allowed the connection of two different devices, for example, one for music streaming and the other one for phone calls.
