Great Car

My 4th Elantra. Although not perfect, for the price, I do love the car.

This is a very great, very snazzy car!

Easy to handle, extremely fun to drive, awesome gas mileage. I feel very safe driving it. Just love ❤️ it! This is my second Hyundai, the first was I believe at 2015 Sonata. I loved that one too.

I thought this car would have automatic start like it says it should.

The wireless charger does not work and automatic start like.

2026 Elantra

I feel safe in operating this vehicle. This model seems to struggle when driven on a steep incline. Living in California requires tinted windows not so they are totally blacked out.

I am now enjoying the comforts of my new Hyundai Elantra Limited

I love the car but I do have one pet peeve that I think they need to improve. It the HVAC system on temperature control. They say its variable fan speed but it isnt. Its only 3 speeds and needs to work like a variable fan speed . It would cool so much better When I first got the car I dont remember that my 2 other Elantra Limited didnt have variable fan control but just 3 speeds and this has been since 2015 . I love the car overall but that is one real glaring fault. Being in the heat of the south it needs better fan control.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE - DON'T FIX IT!!!

You took a beautiful large screen and made it smaller. Not only did you make it smaller, you put buttons on it!!! RIDICULOUS. You put a cluster in which is totally stupid because all I can do is change the color and I now stare at a car stuck on a road. Why did you get rid of the odometer option in the middle??? RIDICULOUS. Why don't you ask your customers what they like and don't like before you make such drastic changes. I would never have traded in my 2023 Elantra for my 2026 Elantra if I would have known you made those changes.

How I like my new vehicle

Gets great gas mileage. Maintenance wanted to add oil additives on my 2nd engine oil change. If it already needs additives they should consider different engine design or motor oil changes.

Not better than previous model

I owned a 2022 elantra and it had more options, better features, and was one trim lower than the one I have now. This one gets less mpg than the other for some reason, and is not as quiet as the previous one (road noise). It does not have XM which is a major fault in my opinion. Not as pleased with this one as I was with my 2022.

Not bad for the money

I like the exterior design of the 2026 Elantra SEL Sport, but dislike the coffee cup attention monitor that seems go off randomly with seemingly no rhyme or reason, not to mention there is no way to turn it off or even silence the alarm. When it goes off it vibrates the steering wheel and sounds a loud Chime that would be indicative of something wrong with the car. I find it dangerous. I also dislike how you must press the toggle down to go up and up to go down through your radio presets. That's just plain dumb. Then there's the reverse cross-path detector that doesn't warn you about backing up into a stationary object like a person standing still, or a post, or a car. No warning at all for that, but man driving perfectly straight down the road in the center of your lane doing the speed limit and that "driver attention" cup of coffee alerts you like a fire truck. Then there's the limited room to enter into the driver's seat if you're above 5' 10". You kind of need to shimmy your butt in first and then duck your head to get in unless you have the seat all the way down on the floor, but then you honestly cannot drive with the seat like that. It's like you're sitting on the ground looking up. I would also mention that the engine severely lacks power when you have the AC on. It's ok in and around town with the AC off, but the way it steals power from the engine is also pretty dangerous. You need to really plan for entering a highway or turning left if there's oncoming traffic. The best way to describe it is that the throttle feels like it has a huge flat spot right off the line when the AC is on. I would also mention that the headlights at night have an odd shadow in the middle directly in front of the car yet the left and right sides are fine. It's a strange view at night.
