The factory-trained team at Group 1 Hyundai Hub City in Lubbock is here to provide helpful answers and schedule your test drive.
We’ve compiled the following reviews to give you an idea of what this model is all about on the road:
“Hyundai has added a new SEL Sport Premium trim level to the Elantra for 2026, splitting the difference between the SEL Sport and the Limited. But the brand otherwise made no changes to its compact sedan for the new model year—though it could be argued none were needed…the entry-level Elantra SE rides on 15-inch wheels and includes LED headlights, remote keyless entry, cloth upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, six speakers, and an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.”
“The latest version of the Elantra feels like a more grown-up car than the model it replaces. It has a sleek and easy-to-use infotainment system, a well-tuned transmission, gets impressive fuel economy, and has a relatively roomy interior for the class. The hybrid version is the best choice, not only for its superb fuel economy, but its better ride and handling.”
“Hyundai is seemingly out to please everyone with its 2026 Elantra line. The base sedan is underwhelming from a driving perspective, but it’s reasonably well equipped and affordable. Those in want of better fuel economy can get it with an optional and smooth-running hybrid powertrain, while those in need of better performance can turn to the turbocharged N Line model.”
The experts at Car and Driver also tout the vehicle’s interior: “While the Elantra’s sucked-in sides and compact-car classification might lead you to believe it’s short on interior space, it’s not. The cabin is roomy, and its controls and infotainment setups are close at hand and easy to use.”
