Review: 2026 Hyundai Elantra
Ten trims from the 147-hp SE to the 201-hp N Line and 54 mpg combined Blue Hybrid, all here to explore.
The 2026 Elantra spans three distinct powertrains. Base SE and related trims use a 2.0L I-4 making 147 hp with an Intelligent Variable Transmission, rated 31 mpg combined. The Blue hybrid pairs a 1.6L gas/electric I-4 (139 hp, 195 lb-ft) with a 6-speed DCT, reaching 54 mpg combined. N Line steps up to a turbocharged 1.6L making 201 hp through a 7-speed DCT.
All ten configurations share front-wheel drive, five-seat capacity, and 14.2 cu ft of trunk space. Pricing ranges from $22,825 for the SE to $30,000 for the Limited Hybrid. Buyers choosing between efficiency and output have real options here rather than a single compromise trim.
