Entry-Level Trim: ELANTRA SE

Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited (2024) by Charles is licensed with CC BY 2.0

Priced at $21,625, the SE boasts a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 147 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 132 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm. Equipped with Hyundai's Smartstream Intelligent Variable Transmission, this vehicle achieves remarkable fuel efficiency, with 32 mpg in the city, 41 on highways, and 36 combined.  

As a base model, the SE trim still comes with many impressive features. It's packed with safety tech; Hyundai's SmartSense driver-assistance system keeps an eye out while you drive. This compact sedan's sharp exterior styling, LED headlights, and 15-inch alloy wheels turn heads. Inside, you'll find a 4.2-inch color screen in the dash that provides key vehicle data, and there's an 8-inch touch screen that works wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, and automatic tire pressure monitoring, the SE trim offers you a budget-friendly option without compromising on essential features.

Mid-Level Trim: ELANTRA SEL

Upgrading to the $23,575 SEL trim enhances comfort and convenience. It builds on the SE's base, mixing style with function. You'll appreciate the 16-inch alloy wheels and optional heated front seats. Gas mileage decreases only slightly to 31 city, 40 highway, and 34 combined mpg, but this trim makes up for it with added safety features. The Convenience Package includes Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction-Turning Detection, adding extra protection on Chicago's congested roads.

Enhancing your everyday commute, the SEL comes with automatic climate control, keyless entry, and a hands-free trunk. These perks shine when you're juggling bags or rushing to work in the Windy City's unpredictable weather. It has a 10.25-inch digital interface for navigation and another 10.25-inch screen for the digital instrument cluster. If you want a touch of class, check out the extra features found in the Convenience Package, such as wireless phone charging, a power sunroof, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. These add-ons can turn your SEL into a more refined ride, great for city trips and weekend excursions. 

Premium Options: ELANTRA N Line and Limited

The N Line and Limited trims offer more power and luxury for drivers who're looking for more. Starting at $28,465, the N Line delivers impressive performance with its 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, producing 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. This model offers exceptional handling due to its specialized suspension. You'll sit snug in N Line sport seats as you zip around town on stylish 18-inch wheels. Even with all this power, the N Line still gets decent gas mileage: 28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on open roads.

For those prioritizing comfort, the Limited trim stands out. With pricing starting at $27,065, you get heated leather seats, plus a large sunroof that lets in lots of light. The crisp 10.25-inch navigation screen and premium Bose speakers provide you with an optimal navigation and entertainment experience. The Limited also includes advanced safety features, including a surround view monitor and Highway Driving Assist. Both the N Line and Limited models have paddle shifters, so you're able to manually control gear changes with ease.

Hybrid Trims: ELANTRA Hybrid Blue and Hybrid Limited

The eco-friendly ELANTRA hybrid models blend top-notch efficiency with smooth performance. They each deliver impressive power with a smart combination: A 1.6-liter Atkinson-cycle engine teams up with an electric motor. Together, they produce 139 horsepower. A six-speed dual-clutch transmission and front-wheel-drive setup work in harmony to deliver power to the wheels. The electric engine runs off a high-tech lithium-ion polymer battery pack. When you slow down, regenerative braking tech helps top up the system.

The entry-level Hybrid Blue starts at $26,250 and boasts amazing fuel economy, giving you 51 mpg in the city and 58 mpg on highways for a 54 combined mpg. As for features, you'll get 16-inch alloy wheels, a six-way adjustable driver seat, and a 10.25-inch touch screen with built-in navigation. 

If you're craving more luxury, the Hybrid Limited, priced from $29,450, promises to elevate your experience. This version adds H-tex leatherette-trimmed seats, wireless charging, and a top-notch sound system for music lovers. Both of these fuel-efficient hybrids ride on an independent multi-link rear suspension, making for a comfy ride and sharper handling that you'll notice right away.

Technology Across Trims

The 2024 ELANTRA packs advanced tech into every model. Hyundai SmartSense, a standard feature, brings Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, and high beam assist across the range. Upgrade, and you'll find blind-spot collision warning, Smart Cruise Control, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, and Safe Exit Warning. These features enhance your driving experience, making this compact sedan stand out in its category.

Infotainment in the 2024 ELANTRA ranges from 8-inch to 10.25-inch touch screens, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Digital Key transforms your phone into a car key, and the manufacturer's Bluelink system enables remote control of your vehicle.
