Hyundai Elantra Performance

The 2026 Elantra offers two powertrain options designed to balance efficiency with responsive performance. Most trim levels feature a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This combination delivers excellent fuel economy, achieving up to 31 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway in the base SE trim.

This powerplant comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission featuring paddle shifters. Even with the performance increase, the N Line still achieves respectable fuel economy ratings of 28 MPG city and 35 MPG highway.

Modern connectivity defines the 2026 Elantra's infotainment experience. An eight-inch touchscreen display comes standard, and features wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. The system includes six speakers, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, USB ports, and speed-sensitive automatic volume control for seamless smartphone integration during your drives through Waverly.

The Limited and N Line trims get a 10.25-inch touchscreen with an integrated navigation system. These models also feature Bose® premium audio with eight speakers, including a center channel and subwoofer for exceptional sound quality. Additional premium features include SiriusXM satellite radio with a three-month trial subscription, BlueLink+ connected car services, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and dynamic voice recognition.
