Why it stands out

The 2018 Hyundai Elantra stands out as a practical compact car that leans heavily on value, efficiency, and a well-equipped cabin. It belongs to the sixth generation, which brought a more conservative and upscale appearance, and the sedan also benefits from nicer interiors than before, modern infotainment and safety features, and an available 201-horsepower 1.6-litre turbocharged engine. For shoppers who want a small car that feels more polished than basic transportation, that combination gives the Elantra broad appeal.

Most 2018 Elantras use a 147-horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder with either a six-speed manual or a conventional automatic transmission, while the alternate turbocharged engine adds more punch. Fuel economy is another strength, with combined consumption ranging from 6.8 to 9.6 L/100 km depending on powertrain. 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 it was on sale, which adds to its credibility as a sensible used buy.

There are a few trade-offs. The sixth-generation Elantra’s styling was toned down from earlier years, but a 2019 freshening added geometric shapes that some found jarring, and the model is described as one of Hyundai’s less visually successful efforts. It is also noted for theft vulnerability, and the standard engine is not especially exciting. Even so, the 2018 Hyundai Elantra remains attractive because it offers a lot of equipment, good fuel economy, and a comfortable, well-rounded package at a relatively accessible price.
