Exterior

When onlookers in Oak Park first set their sights on the Hyundai ELANTRA, they’ll certainly notice the many stylish and useful features it holds. One such example is the standard dual-LED Projector headlights, which can clearly cut through the night to beacon your way home. On each side of the sedan are the standard heated side mirrors with available turn signal indicators. During the winter months, they can thaw out any ice that has built up on the glass and they can better telegraph your intentions on the road at any time. You won’t have to worry about going unnoticed, since the standard LED Daytime Running Lights will keep the vehicle in the eyes of other motorists. To stay low to the ground, there are the standard 15-inch wheels, but if you want a higher ground clearance, then you can upgrade to the available 18-inch wheels.

Performance

Let’s switch gears to highlight the versatility of the 2026 Hyundai ELANTRA. During any drive down I-290 and beyond, the standard Normal, Sport, and Smart drive modes can each alter how the car operates for more dynamic travels. Lending its strength to your adventures is the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, which can produce up to 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. Thanks to this powertrain, your trips to Thatcher Woods will enjoy the 31/40/35 city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy rating this car achieves with standard FWD. Do you prefer more muscle in your drives? Opt for the available 1.6L 4-cylinder engine to tap into its 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque output.

Safety

With all the driver assistance features the 2026 ELANTRA boasts, your drives will be worry-free. Keeping an eye out for any obstacles ahead of you, the standard Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection2 will be able to apply automatic stopping power when needed. If you’ve been on a long journey, the standard Driver Attention Warning3 system can recognize the signs of fatigue and will let you know when to take a break. As you travel down the highway, the standard Lane Keeping Assist4 can keep you within the lines of the road, especially when strong winds try to blow the car off-course. When you need to change lanes, the standard Blind-Spot Collision Warning5 will keep an eye out for any motorist beside you.
