Used 2020 Hyundai Elantra for Sale Near Me

The 2020 Hyundai Elantra offers a variety of driver-assistance technologies, including forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and a driver attention warning system.

Performance is adequate but far from impressive. The Elantra is quick to accelerate off the line but quickly runs out of breath. With a 0-60 mph time of 9.8 seconds, the Elantra is among the slowest and most underpowered in its class. Handling is also lackluster; the car can feel a little skittish if you drive over bumps while cornering. But even if it's no sports car, the Elantra has manners. Brake pressure is easy to control, and the car remains stable under hard panic braking. We also like the steering, which is light at low speeds but firm on the highway. It makes for confident cruising at high speeds and easy maneuvering in parking lots.

The infotainment system is easy to use and you don't need a smartphone to enjoy it. You may still want to wire up your Apple or Android device anyway (CarPlay and Android Auto come standard) since voice recognition, while accurate, is limited to a handful of basic functions. The upgraded sound system is underpowered and lacks clarity. All but the base SE trim comes with automatic braking, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert systems. Enhanced pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control are also available for the Limited trim.

The Elantra maintains a price advantage over its competitors, especially when comparing them feature for feature. A commendable warranty also makes it a strong choice. Build quality remains high, and just a few years ago, the Elantra's interior quality was considered above average. But recent efforts from rivals such as Mazda have raised the bar. Our Limited trim test car came with the optional Ultimate package. Even fully loaded, the Elantra is typically less expensive than a comparably equipped Honda Civic or Mazda 3.
