Hyundai Elantra SE

The Elantra SE is the trim level with all the standard features, like:

• 147-horsepower 2.0L I-4 engine
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Lane Keeping Assist
• 5-inch color infotainment display

Kicking things off with the SE, the Elantra equips you with a 2.0L I-4 engine that produces 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque.

It’s paired with a Smartstream Intelligent Variable Transmission. This is a kind of continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is known to improve overall fuel economy by optimizing shift points.

You’ll get several driver-assisting features, as listed above, plus the Driver Attention Warning system. This monitors your driving patterns and issues a suggestion to take a break if it detects possibly drowsy or distracted driving.

The infotainment system includes a 5-inch color display and Bluetooth® hands-free for phone calls and audio streaming.

2020 Elantra SEL Trim Level

Next, we have the SEL. This comes with everything in the SE, plus other features, like:

• Automatic headlights
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
• Heated sideview mirrors
• 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen display

The infotainment system is one of the most notable upgrades with the Elantra SEL trim level. This configuration swaps out that 5-inch screen for a 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen display. This is compatible with connectivity features, like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which integrate some of your favorite smartphone apps with your sedan’s touchscreen.

We also see more smart safety and driver-assisting features, like Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning. Meanwhile, heated sideview mirrors improve visibility by preventing fogging and melting away snow and ice on chilly mornings.

Value Edition for the Hyundai Elantra

The Value Edition is a great trim level if you like the SEL but want a little more. It comes with all the same features and even adds in a few, like:

• Hands-free smart trunk
• Power tilt-and-slide sunroof
• Proximity Key entry with push button start
• Heated seats

As you can see, the Value Edition really packs in the convenience features. With the hands-free smart trunk and Proximity Key entry with push-button start, you can keep your key safely tucked away in your bag or pocket.

As long as you have the key fob on you somewhere, you’ll be able to unlock and start the car and open the trunk without reaching for your keys.

A lot of drivers choose this trim level for the power tilt-and-slide sunroof, which fills the cabin with extra fresh air and natural light. This configuration also includes heated seats, which are ideal for warming up on a cold winter morning.

2020 Elantra Eco

If you’re a fuel- or eco-conscious driver, then you’ll like the Eco trim level for your Hyundai Elantra. It comes with many of the same features as the Value Edition, except for one key difference––the powertrain. Check out the specs below:

• 1.4L turbocharged I-4
• 128 horsepower
• 156 lb-ft of torque
• 7-speed EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission

The Eco trim swaps out the standard engine for a turbocharged 1.4L I-4. It features a carefully balanced output of 128 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque to help maximize fuel efficiency and reduce your stops at the pump.

It also has a 7-speed EcoShift® dual-clutch transmission (DCT). DCTs are a great blend of manual and automatic. It automatically operates two manual transmissions, so you can get that manual feel without having to do any of the work.

Of course, if you prefer to shift on your own, the SHIFTRONIC® feature lets you do so in a limited manual mode.

Hyundai Elantra Sport Trim Level

Now, if you want ultimate sportiness, you can probably tell that this is the trim level for you. Not only does this configuration upgrade your powertrain, it also struts its stuff with exterior emblems and embellishments:

• 201-horsepower 1.6L turbocharged I-4 engine
• Sport front grille and bumper
• Sport rear bumper with underbody air diffuser
• Alloy pedals and Black headliner
• 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen navigation system (available)

A lot of drivers find this trim level exciting because of its powertrain upgrade. The 1.6L turbocharged I-4 generates 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. It’s also paired with the 7-speed EcoShift® DCT and includes a sport-tuned suspension and sport-tuned steering for maximum agility.

The exterior is decorated with sporty embellishments on the front and rear bumpers, plus it includes underbody air diffuser to help you manage all that engine power.

Inside, you have the option to swap out your 7-inch touchscreen with an available 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen display complete with an integrated navigation system. The available Infinity® Premium Audio system with eight speakers and Clari-Fi™ music restoration technology is included with the infotainment upgrade.

Elantra Limited

Finally, we have the Hyundai Elantra Limited. This again equips you with the standard engine we first saw in the SE. However, it adds in several more technology upgrades that fans of this trim level tend to love:

• Integrated memory system for driver’s seat and side mirrors (available)
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (available)
• Safe Exit Assist (available)
• Wireless device charging

The Limited gets the comfort and convenience treatment with the available Ultimate Package, which includes driver-assistive features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Safe Exit Assist.

Available Safe Exit Assist helps you exit your vehicle while parallel parked on a busy street by locking the doors when cars are passing or issuing an alert if your doors are already opened.

More comforts become standard, too, with the addition of an integrated memory system that locks your seating position into place, so that you can easily return to it with the press of a button after letting someone else drive your car. Lumbar support for the driver’s seat is standard, too.
