Discover Your Options With the Hyundai Elantra

In a world where so many car companies have seemingly abandoned the reliability and functionality of the sedan, it’s refreshing to see Hyundai go against that trend. Not only can you find a number of different sedan options at your favourite Hyundai dealer in Edmonton, but even a single car can have numerous amazing models available. To show you exactly what we mean, today we’re going to take a good look at the Hyundai Elantra to see everything it has available. You might think that the Elantra is little more than a humble sedan, but in reality, it has far more going for it than most realize at first glance.

The 2022 Hyundai Elantra

To get things rolling, let’s start with the standard 2022 Hyundai Elantra and look at the kinds of features and options you can get with it. For starters, this is the quintessential Hyundai sedan, with a gorgeous sleek design and feels like it was just poured into existence rather than constructed. Hyundai is well known for its modern design aesthetic, called “Fluidic Sculpture,” and it’s clearly on display with this year’s Elantra.

In terms of performance, the 2022 Elantra comes with a 2.0L engine that delivers 147 hp and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, standard on the base model. If you’re not a fan of a manual, there’s an available Smartstream Intelligent Variable Transmission for a smooth and responsive driving experience less demanding for daily driving. It’s an impressive engine that offers enough power to make the Elantra a nimble option perfect for getting around Edmonton, with plenty of features that make it a joy to drive.

The Elantra beautifully illustrates the impressive systems that you can find throughout Hyundai’s lineup when it comes to technology. For example, proximity keyless entry with remote engine start makes it easy to start your vehicle and get it warmed up in the winter and get inside without digging around looking for your key in your pocket or purse. Similarly, an available hands-free smart trunk can automatically open when you’re near it, making it easy to load up—something rare in a sedan like this.

Inside the 2022 Elantra, you’ll find equally impressive technology including available full-colour 20cm Infotainment display standard on all models, while a larger 26cm display is available on the higher-end Ultimate model. A 10cm digital instrument cluster comes standard with a 26cm available on the Ultimate. The higher-end trim also offers interior ambient lighting that you can customize with 64 colours and an available Bose premium sound system for a truly stunning experience.

The safety features offered on the Elantra are also spectacular, thanks largely to the available Hyundai SmartSense package. With this package, you get Adaptive Cruise Control which works in stop-and-go traffic, to make highway driving a lot easier. Also included is Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance, which can detect a vehicle hiding in your blind spot and help you avoid an unsafe lane change. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection alerts you to a potential collision and assists you with braking, while Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keeping Assist warns you if you seem to be drifting and helps you stay in your lane.

As you can see, the standard and available features on the 2022 Hyundai Elantra are fantastic and make this one of our favourite sedans in their lineup. What makes this even more remarkable, however, is that you can also choose from several other impressive Elantra models.

The 2022 Elantra gets impressive fuel economy, which you would expect from such a fine sedan. But if an extraordinarily efficient ride is your top concern, you need to check out the Elantra Hybrid. The standard Elantra gets an estimated 7.6L per 100km in the city, 5.7L on the highway, and 6.7 L of combined fuel economy. That’s a great place to start, but the available Elantra Hybrid goes well beyond that while keeping impressive features like the available 26cm full digital instrument cluster and proximity keyless entry with push-button start.

What sets the Elantra Hybrid apart is the 1.6L Gasoline Direct Injection engine, which comes with a 32-kW electric motor, providing you with a combined 139 hp. This comes paired with a 6-speed dual clutch transmission for boosted efficiency and an incredibly responsive driving experience. Thanks to this highly efficient design, the Elantra Hybrid gets an estimated 4.5L per 100km in the city, 4.2L on the highway, and 4.4L combined fuel economy, which will keep you away from the gas pump for a long time. Combine that with regenerative braking, which uses energy from braking to help charge the battery, and you get a remarkably efficient vehicle.

The Elantra N Line

If you like the sleek design and sedan practicality of the Elantra, but want improved performance, then you have two fantastic options from the Hyundai N Series. First up, the Elantra N Line is the perfect choice if you want something with a bit more get-up-and-go than the standard Elantra, but you’re not looking to hit the track any time soon. This is a sporty, N-inspired model that looks stunning and delivers a fantastic time behind the wheel thanks to a turbocharged 1.6L engine that provides 201 hp and 195 lb-ft. of torque, which comes paired with a 7-speed Dual-Clutch transmission.

You get a special Sport-tuned suspension and enhanced steering to ensure an incredibly responsive drive that you’ll love. With dual exhaust outlets, 18-inch alloy wheels, and an aggressive front-end design that builds on the fluid and sculpted look of the standard Elantra, the Elantra N Line is truly impressive. Inside this model you’ll find luxuriously comfortable sport seating, a heated perforated-leather steering wheel with mounted paddle shifters, and aluminum sport pedals that remind you how much power is under your control. With a Bose premium sound system and power sunroof, driving the Elantra N Line is an absolute pleasure.

Although the sporty performance of the N Line is impressive, if you want something even more exhilarating, then you need to check out the Elantra N. This is the pinnacle of Elantra performance and all-new for 2022. The first-ever Elantra N combines the style and sophistication of the Elantra with unparalleled speed and performance. The sculpted parametric surfaces along the side of the Elantra N are gorgeous, with striking full LED tail lights, and a unique front fascia and mesh grille that is bold and aggressive. You get 19-inch alloy wheels on the Elantra N and an electronically controlled suspension that continuously adjusts for enhanced stability and control.

The Elantra N is all about power, with a 2.0L Flat Power Turbo engine that delivers 276 hp and 289 lb-ft. of torque, letting it go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds. A 6-speed manual transmission comes standard, but there’s an available 8-speed Wet Dual Clutch transmission with paddle shifters for an unbelievably quick and responsive driving experience. Inside, you’ll get the kind of amazing experience you’d expect thanks to customizable ambient lighting, alloy sport pedals, and lightweight sport bucket seats to keep you comfortable even on the track. There’s nothing else quite like the Elantra N, and the combination of style, comfort, and power that it provides can’t be beaten.
