2026 Hyundai
ELANTRA

While other automakers have moved away from sedans, the category remains strong for Hyundai. Anchoring the company’s four-door offerings is the Elantra, which has been part of Hyundai’s U.S. lineup for more than three decades. The 2026 version continues the model’s seventh generation, which stands out for its sharp looks and affordable pricing. This year, Hyundai has expanded the Elantra’s trim range by introducing the SEL Sport Premium, which gets a standard sunroof, heated front seats, and expanded driver-assistance technology.
