2026 Hyundai Elantra | Specs, Features & Test Drive | Webb Hyundai Highland

The 2026 Hyundai Elantra delivers efficiency, style, and technology in a compact sedan that Northwest Indiana commuters have consistently ranked among their top choices. Webb Hyundai Highland — a proud recipient of the NWI Best of the Region award in 2026 — has the full Elantra lineup at 9236 Indianapolis Blvd, Highland, IN.

Engine Options and Performance

Three powertrain paths cover every type of Elantra buyer. The standard 2.0L Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder produces 147 hp paired with an intelligent CVT — smooth, efficient, and suited for the mix of Hammond surface streets and I-94 highway miles that Highland-area commuters know well. The N Line steps up to a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder with 201 hp and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission for buyers who want genuine sport performance. The Hybrid pairs a 1.6L engine with an electric motor and 6-speed DCT for best-in-class fuel economy.

Fuel Economy

The standard Elantra is EPA-rated at approximately 33 mpg city and 43 mpg highway — strong numbers for a compact sedan and particularly relevant for Northwest Indiana drivers commuting to Chicago via I-90 or I-94. The Elantra Hybrid pushes that efficiency even higher, making it one of the most cost-effective non-EV daily drivers you can buy.

Interior and Technology

The 2026 Elantra seats five in a cabin that feels more spacious than the exterior dimensions suggest. Hyundai’s interior design philosophy favors clean lines and intuitive control placement. Standard features include an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (wired and wireless available on higher trims). Higher trims include a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a Bose premium audio system, a digital instrument cluster, and a highway driving assist system. The trunk offers approximately 14.2 cubic feet — competitive for the class.

Standard Safety Technology

Hyundai SmartSense is standard on every 2026 Elantra trim. The suite includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, Driver Attention Warning, and High Beam Assist. This is a comprehensive active safety package at the base trim level — and it is what has helped Hyundai earn consistent Top Safety Pick ratings.

Trim Levels

SE — the efficient, practical starting point with SmartSense standard. SEL — adds convenience features including heated front seats and a wireless charging pad. N Line — the 201 hp turbocharged sport variant with chassis tuning, sport seats, and aggressive exterior styling. Limited — the premium Elantra with ventilated seats, 10.25-inch touchscreen, Bose audio, and full driver assistance. Hybrid SE and Hybrid Limited add electrified efficiency to the SE and Limited feature sets.
