The first thing you'll notice is the sharp new exterior appearance of the Elantra. The outgoing model had a pretty sharp look, but its busy face often felt homogenous in the crowded small-car segment. Not so with the 2017, which has a massive grille and aggressive LED headlights. In fact, you can even see inspiration from the Elantra’s bigger brother, the Genesis luxury sedan, which itself takes cues from the Germans when it comes to styling. The similarities to the Genesis are more apparent out back in the taillight assemblies. We can expect more Hyundai models to share these design cues, making the Elantra something of a thought leader for the conservative-yet-well-defined styling that will be found across the Hyundai lineup for years to come.
Inside the cabin is more Audi-inspired styling, but in a good way. The previous Elantra featured an eye-catching interior that was a bit cluttered, much like that of the Ford Focus. While the Focus continued to go for form over function, the Elantra’s interior offers both form and function, with emphasis on the latter. Its straightforward design returns audio and climate controls to very conventional layouts, which should make them easier to use.
Hyundai makes the whole trim-package thing pretty straightforward for buyers. At the entry level, you have the SE trim, which has basics like power windows and locks, a 6-speaker stereo with AM/FM/XM radio and a CD player, and USB/auxiliary audio inputs for charging your phone and accessing its music library. Step up to the Limited trim for niceties such as standard Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity with voice control, keyless entry, push-button start, and steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, all of which are also available as optional features on the SE.
Located right next to the shifter is a Drive Mode selector button. This tweaks the engine/transmission mapping and the steering feel for Normal, Sport, and Eco drive modes. The EPA estimates fuel economy of the Elantra at 29 mpg city, 38 highway, 33 combined. Despite having the same drivetrain, fuel economy falls to 28 mpg city, 37 highway in the Limited. If you opt for the SE with the manual, fuel economy falls to 26/36.
Acceleration is rather brisk considering the drivetrain makes less than 150 hp, but you can certainly tell how much the 2-liter is working by the mechanical whine every time you get on the throttle. It's a lot of engine noise in an otherwise quiet ride.
An Eco trim will be available later this year, featuring a turbocharged 1.4-liter inline 4-cylinder making 128 hp and getting an estimated 35 mpg combined. With the drop in power and smaller displacement, expect the Eco trim to exhibit similar noise issues under acceleration.
As for our Limited, it featured a really supple suspension that soaked up some serious potholes in New England spring roads full of heaves and holes. Despite its softness, the ride was never wallowy, and the Elantra's cornering still felt rather sprightly.
As stated before, the straightforward layout of the interior is one of the Elantra’s strong suits. While many new cars go for the most radical interior, their designers sometimes forget this is where occupants must live for their commute every day, and often neglect basics such as thoughtful storage. Not so in the Elantra, where a small compartment in front of the shifter reveals AC power ports, USB/auxiliary audio ports, and a place to put your wallet and phone — sometimes it’s the simple things.
Our Limited’s large touchscreen sits atop a center stack with a very straightforward, traditional control layout. But with Hyundai’s Audi/BMW-inspired approach, “straightforward” also means “refined.” But unlike in German cars, the infotainment screen is an actual touchscreen and doesn’t rely on confusing proprietary controls like BMW's iDrive or Audi's MMI. This is just one more way the Elantra is just as useful as it is attractive.
The driver gets a tremendous amount of legroom — even at 6-foot-3, I had to move the power adjustable driver’s seat forward several inches. This is likely at the expense of rear seat leg room, but as long as you are carpooling with 3 people or less, this shouldn't be a problem.
Every Elantra comes standard with USB/auxiliary audio inputs and SiriusXM satellite radio. Moving upmarket gets you the navigation system, which features turn-by-turn instructions in the color display in the gauge cluster.
The voice-control system found in the Elantra is consistent with that of other higher-end models like the Genesis. This is a powerful voice-control system and can understand complex instructions, such as inputting a navigation address without having to go through several menus.
But the true cutting-edge infotainment tech comes in the form of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Plug in your iPhone or Android phone via the USB port, and you can use these custom operating systems to operate many of your phone’s features directly from the touchscreen. When receiving a text, the system will read it out to you, and (in the case of the iPhone), you can use Siri to send a reply via voice control.
One other excellent piece of tech is the hands-free trunk system. If you have your hands full of groceries and need to open the trunk, simply make sure your key fob is in your pocket when approaching the rear of the vehicle, and you’ll hear three beeps before the trunk opens on its own.
Hyundai touts all the safety tech you can get on the 2017 Elantra, and with good reason — many of these features were previously found only in higher-end cars and are now making their way into small cars like the Elantra. This includes electronic stability control, vehicle stability management, traction control, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a backup camera with rear cross-path detection are all available.
Hyundai expects that the 2017 Elantra will earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and a 5-star NHTSA crash-test rating when it's put through testing.
The base SE trim for the 2017 Hyundai Elantra starts at $17,150, and the Limited starts at $22,250. The Limited also offers some additional packages, like the Tech Package, which adds navigation, an Infinity premium stereo, sunroof, heated rear seats, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, all for an additional $2,500. The Ultimate Package costs another $1,900 and adds headlights that bend with the road, smart cruise control, the aforementioned lane-departure warning, and collision avoidance.
A fully loaded Limited will top out at around $27,000. That puts it well under the pricing for the equally impressive albeit larger Honda Civic and about the same price as the Toyota Corolla.
But the Elantra is a much more impressive vehicle than the Corolla, and while the Civic is larger and just as loaded with features, it will cost nearly $30,000. This places the Elantra firmly among the pack leaders when it comes to small cars, and the Elantra now features cutting-edge safety and technology equipment — making it a better car than the Corolla and a more affordable car than the Civic. In short, it's arguable that the Limited Elantra is the best small car for the money.
