Why it stands out

The 2016 Hyundai Elantra stands out as part of the fifth-generation redesign that first turned heads for the 2011 model year. Its styling was a major part of the appeal, with flowing bodywork and an attractive fastback silhouette that helped the car feel more distinctive than many compact sedans. Hyundai also gave this generation the widest range of body styles in the Elantra’s history, which broadened its appeal for shoppers who wanted something practical but not plain.

For 2016, the Elantra’s standard engine was a 148-horsepower, 1.8-litre four-cylinder paired with a manual or automatic transmission. Hyundai had added a more powerful 2.0-litre four-cylinder in 2014, and that engine made 173 hp. Fuel economy ranged from 7.4 to 9.1 L/100 km combined, and the car earned good marks for safety, though it did not collect as many IIHS “Top Safety Pick” awards as the sixth generation that followed. The generation’s reliability record was mixed, with some sources rating it average and others placing it among the weakest Elantra generations since 2000.

As a used buy, the 2016 Elantra can still make sense because it is inexpensive and offers a lot of car for the money. It is also worth noting that some owners praise its comfort, smooth ride, reliability, and fuel economy. On the downside, complaints about electrical and HVAC systems, suspensions, engines, brakes, and overall build quality were especially common for 2012 and 2013 models, and those years were also among the most theft-vulnerable Elantras.
