Compare the 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL and Elantra Limited

The redesigned 2021 Hyundai Elantra ranks among the hottest new cars on the market. Not only does this compact sedan have a more striking look, but it also offers some exciting new features. An improved interior with extra passenger room makes the new Elantra even more rewarding. Here's how the Elantra SEL compares to the Elantra Limited.

Performance

These trims offer the same level of performance. A 2.0-liter, DOHC four-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower rests under the hood. Feeding power to the front wheels is a Smartstream Intelligent Variable Transmission. When behind the wheel of the new Elantra, drivers can look forward to enjoying a responsive performance. Fuel economy tops out an EPA-estimated 41 mpg on the highway. Drive Mode Select comes standard. This system allows you to choose from three different driving modes. While the Smart mode helps conserve more fuel, activating the Sport mode allows you to have more fun.

Appearance

There's no overlooking the all-new Elantra's sportier exterior design. It's sleeker and more athletic than the previous generation. LED daytime running lights and stylish 16-inch alloy wheels come standard on the SEL trim. You can further bolster the Elantra SEL's curb appeal by opting for a Premium package, which brings a dark chrome front grille and LED headlights. Larger 17-inch alloy wheels also give the sedan a more aggressive stance. These upgrades come standard on the range-topping Limited model.

Features

Hyundai equips the SEL trim with several premium features. Technology lovers will especially enjoy using Hyundai's modern infotainment system. It features a new 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration. Other highlights include:

• A hands-free smart trunk
• Proximity keyless entry
• Hyundai's BlueLink Connected Car System

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian detection and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist are just a couple of the car's advanced safety technologies.

Drivers seeking even more luxury should consider the leather-appointed Limited trim. It brings an upgraded 10.25-inch infotainment system with Dynamic Voice Recognition. Navigation is integrated into the system. Another significant upgrade is the Limited trim's standard Bose premium sound system. This amplified audio system features a total of eight speakers, including a rear subwoofer for enhanced bass.
