Why it stands out

The 2016 Hyundai Elantra stands out as a practical compact car that helped Hyundai move well beyond its bargain-basement roots. By this generation, the Elantra had become a more polished and upscale-looking sedan, with a calmer design than the more polarising styling that came before it. It also offered a nicer interior than earlier versions, along with modern infotainment and safety features, which made it feel more complete than a basic commuter car.

For 2016, most Elantras used a 147-horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with either a six-speed manual or a conventional automatic transmission. That setup was not especially exciting, but it delivered acceptable performance and good fuel economy, and the model line also included a punchier 1.6-litre turbocharged engine in some applications. The sixth-generation Elantra sedan and GT also earned “Top Safety Pick” or “Top Safety Pick+” designations from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety every year they were on sale, which adds to its appeal for buyers who value peace of mind.

There are a few trade-offs, though. The sixth-generation Elantra was one of the models at the heart of Hyundai’s theft vulnerability problem, and its styling was not universally loved. Even so, it remains appealing as an affordable used car because it combines comfort, strong fuel economy, and a good feature set with a reputation for being a sensible everyday choice.
