The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.

2026 Hyundai Elantra review
Hyundai Elantra: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
9.4/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Hyundai Elantra sits near the top of its class. Easy infotainment with phone mirroring; good trunk for the footprint. Road noise on coarse pavement and rear headroom is tight for tall passengers, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $23,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.
Replaced an older Hyundai with this one. Big step up in fuel economy; I'd like a little more rear headroom.
