The new 2022 Elantra stands out with its high fuel economy, impressive technology and safety features, and roomy cabin. It's also comfortable and strong on value. Other than a lackluster base engine, there's not much to complain about. It's a great pick for a small sedan.

Written by automotive expert Travis Langness

The 2022 Hyundai Elantra is a small sedan that was just redesigned last year. The sleek and modern styling is a standout in the class, and even at its affordable price, it comes with an impressive list of standard features. A rather anemic base engine and an overabundance of hard plastic inside kept it from claiming the distinction as the Edmunds Top Rated small sedan, but it's still a competitive choice among rivals such as the Honda Civic, Kia Forte and Mazda 3.

Happily, if you decide to go with the Elantra, you are not locked into the standard engine. There's the N Line model, which has a 201-horsepower turbocharged engine that's pretty strong for this class of car. Or if fuel economy is a priority, there's the Elantra Hybrid that gets up an estimated 54 mpg in combined driving. Then there's the new Elantra N. We originally thought it would come out for 2021 but its arrival got pushed to this year. Under the hood is a turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out a stout 276 hp. This motor, along with a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers, makes the N an absolute blast to drive on curvy back roads.

Good

7.7

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Hyundai Elantra on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance: Sluggish 2.4-liter power, CVT dullness

7/10

How does the Elantra drive? The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is lacking when it comes to speed. At Edmunds' test track, our Elantra reached 60 mph in 9.4 seconds, which is slower than average compared to rivals. It's not terrible, but passing or getting up to highway speeds can be laborious.

What power it does have is sent through a continuously variable automatic transmission that Hyundai tunes for optimal fuel economy, so it too is not very impressive for spirited driving. But in typical situations, the transmission delivers a smooth experience, and there's only a little of the notorious droning noise that CVTs are known for.

Elsewhere, the Elantra is pretty middle-of-the-road. It handles corners decently well for a small sedan, behaving predictably, and it's not easily upset over bumps. But for a sporty drive, you'll want to get the N Line, which comes with a sport-tuned suspension.

Comfort: Smooth ride, quick-settle seating flaws

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Elantra? The Elantra delivers a smooth ride. There's enough plushness to soak up bumps in the road well, but it also settles relatively quickly. The seats are also comfortable for the most part. The driver's seat bottom feels just a touch flat, and it might not provide enough support on road trips more than a few hours long. There isn't much in the way of side bolstering to keep you planted when cornering either.

The climate controls are easy to use, with big dials to work the available dual-zone climate control. The heated seats, when equipped, activate quickly. There is noticeable wind noise as you increase speed, but that is typical for the class, and passengers can more or less carry on conversations at normal volume.

Interior: Spacious front visibility, improved rear legroom

8/10

How’s the interior? The Elantra cabin is well-thought-out, with plenty of space and good outward visibility in the front row. We're also pleased to see the back seat gained 2 inches of legroom over the previous generation, allowing for quite generous accommodations for taller passengers. Their heads might still graze the ceiling, but the Elantra is among the most spacious in this class.

Our Elantra Limited test vehicle came with a power-adjustable driver's seat. It has a wide adjustment range, so it should suit short and tall drivers alike. The steering wheel also has an ample amount of adjustment, making it simple to find your ideal driving position.

Technology: Dual screens shine, voice and driving aids deliver

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The Elantra Limited's twin display screens, one for the gauges and one for the infotainment, are pleasing to use. The infotainment screen has easy-to-follow menus and quick and clear directions. The Elantra also scores extra points for including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though they only come with the standard 8-inch infotainment screen. Confusingly, the larger 10.25-inch screen requires a cord to run either smartphone integration system.

Another bright spot is the Limited's improved voice activation system that responds accurately to web searches, addresses and even climate control commands. The available full suite of advanced driving aids is one of the best modern systems, with smooth adaptive cruise control and lane centering. We experienced no false warnings during our testing.

Storage: Above-average trunk space plus useful extras

7.5/10

How’s the storage? Trunk space is slightly above average for the class, at 14.2 cubic feet, which is the same size as in the previous-generation Elantra. The rear seats fold flat with remote release latches in the trunk — some may find them more convenient than the releases on the seats themselves. Cupholders and storage cubbies for front passengers are nothing out of the ordinary. A wireless smartphone charging pad on the Limited trim is a nice touch.

In the back, there are two anchors on each rear outboard seat to fasten child safety seats into place. The anchors are easy to find between the cushions. The spacious back seat means you should be able to load rear-facing seats without having to scrunch into your driving position.

Fuel Economy: 41.8 mpg shows serious efficiency

9.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? Depending on the model, the Elantra with the 2.0-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 35-37 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Either way you're looking at excellent fuel economy. We easily verified the EPA's estimate and even exceeded it on our mixed-driving 115-mile test route, achieving an impressive 41.8 mpg.

Value: Warranty, free maintenance win, plastics lose

9/10

Is the Elantra a good value? Now you've entered the Elantra's sweet spot. It simply runs away from the competition with five years/60,000 miles of limited warranty coverage, 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain and free maintenance for three years/36,000 miles. We also find the pricing attractive, especially considering the long list of features that comes standard on every model. Our only complaints: the amount of hard plastic in the cabin and a back seat nearly barren of any design.

Wildcard: Screen-heavy comfort, not thrills

6.5/10

The Elantra has some wow factor with its effusive exterior styling, large bright screens and excellent voice controls. But it makes no claim to driving excitement and it's easy to see why. Hyundai made an excellent all-arounder, not a passion purchase. That's what the N Line version is for.

2022 Hyundai Elantra trim level differences

The 2022 Elantra is available in five main trim levels: SE, SEL, N Line, Limited and high-performance N. But there's also the Elantra Hybrid, which comes in Blue and Limited trims. Here's what you get on each: Compare the 2022 Hyundai Elantra trim levels in-depth.

Which Elantra trim does Edmunds recommend?

There's really no bad pick here. Get the Elantra SEL for overall value. It has some desirable extras over the base SE trim plus the availability of a couple of exclusive option packages. But know that the base engine's acceleration can seem underwhelming. For superior performance, get the sporty N Line or full-on Elantra N. The high fuel economy of the Elantra Blue makes it a compelling choice as well.

Long time Hyundai buyer.

Richard Wendt, 10/13/2021

2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

Having bought or purchased about 12 thus far, I appreciate their value and features for the money. We picked up our new 2022 Elantra SEL last evening. Coming down from a 2020 Santa Fe there are some significant differences, as one would expect. Roominess is fine for leg room but that comes after one wedges one into the cabin. I banged my head just after it was delivered to me. I am …

Is proving to be an very good car.

Up North a tad., 01/16/2022

2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

Preferred model (base heating controls, but heated leather steering wheel instead) I have had Honda and then moved to Dodge/Chrysler cars including a bunch of Neons (BMW engineered the engines in them). This one has been very quick, quiet, full of working technology that is improving and keep an eye on me - proved I'm not as good of driver as I thought. Wonderfully comfortable and the … slanted gauges (toward driver) and the separation bar have proven to be fantastic (certainly for the driver). Gas mileage in my petrol only model is shockingly good 5.3L/100km city 7.9L/100km winter (in my case, normal mode). Smooth, quiet interior that feels (and is) very large and open - back seat is a tad boring but comfortable with lots of space. Trunk is also enormous - bigger than many compact SUV they say and easier to load (not as tall of course). Hard plastics are common but they use really interesting mixed textures - so they look nice and are a surprise to touch and find they are hard. My "air" defrost (they offer the elements in the windshield) work really well, and I keep it rotated between the two defrost modes for winter. The safety and details like rust/stone protection is very good too. This model has the camera and not the radar on the front (on the rear sides it does). They have proven just fantastic and have both been good "at watching me" but also made me a better driver by ringing bells and alerts until I recognized and corrected mistakes I was not aware of. Just packed full of so many safety features (include a STRONG roof - Hyundai or Kia had an ad with a bunch of cars on top of each other to show they recognized how important roof strength is). I am also impressed - the rear hump; the salesperson said that came from the platform being made for an SUV - and it could have been made flat but was not as strong; so they kept it in. The cross path is a surprise (like gas mileage) I just love it as I no longer need to rely on "the Force" to tell me when someone is zooming past (don't they see the reverse lights?) when backing up. The lane keep and warning if someone is beside or in the lane I'm wanting to move too - I wonder how was driving without them. If you look at the engine etc - you can see quality mountings and the engine is floating so it will move properly in a collision. Zero rattles an noise (stunning) SO very quiet, first car I can listen to the radio without it being annoyingly loud .. also this platform is just stellar .. it drives so nice .. does not come across like my Civic or Neons at all .. just endlessly confident control with no "drama unfolding". I could be zipping around and the person in the back if a sleep would not know it. Great brakes (first car with ABS), just a pleasure to drive. The iVT .. it has been a big surprise (considered a Jetta for its real auto .. but too expensive); it protects itself at launch (depowers) but once off the line you have ample power and its simulated gear changes are quick and reliable ... I have noticed it will engine brake somewhat which is a critical bonus in winter as it keeps you off the brakes more for planned stops. STYLING - "everyone" told the the exterior was oh so wrong - so, I saw no problem when buying it except I knew it was hard to do that with metal (impressive). Upon washing and being with it - it very quickly was apparent it is stunning from all angles, the sides "suck in" so you are farther away (door dings should be less) much like racecars - you can see it from the back where the rear glass in inside the outer edges by gosh 4" (the door handles are almost hidden in). The wide back reminds me of like the back of a Honda NSF. Just endlessly interesting to look at to be impressed. SUMMARY - absolute would recommend over the other excellent cars I looked at - Corolla (sedan), Sentra, Jetta, Forte (older platform), new Civic was just out and many $1000 more (much like the Jetta Highline). Highly contented, great gas mileage, high safety, and pretty large actually (107" wheelbase). OTHER MODELS - the Hybrid - very tempting just they are usually sold out. The N-Line, you get the dual clutch (real trans) and turbo (200hp instead of 148hp) if you want for a normal Civic/Jetta price. Both of these also have the "true" independent rear suspension as well.

2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

Got the blue Elantra SEL with dark rims and it looks excellent. Got 41+ mpg driving home. Digital display with three setting is cool and the wireless charger is a hit with the kids. Hard to part with my 2012 Elantra GLS with 163,500 miles that still runs great.
