How much does the 2019 Hyundai Elantra cost?

Is the 2019 Hyundai Elantra a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Hyundai Elantra earns a 4.5/5 user rating and an 8.2/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Cost effectiveness and Technology.

Owners consistently praise its impressive features, smooth acceleration, comfortable interior, spacious trunk, and helpful driving assist features.

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a dependable-feeling daily driver with a comfortable interior, useful features, and the kind of value that makes it easy to count on for errands and longer trips. The expert review also frames it as a car that delivers quality and value without causing much aggravation, even if it is not especially rewarding to drive. Hyundai’s five-year or 100,000-kilometre warranty coverage and five years of roadside assistance also help reduce ownership risk for used buyers.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Hyundai Elantra?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The sedan is sold as Essential, Preferred, Luxury, Sport, and Ultimate. The base Essential misses some equipment that appears on higher trims, including the 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the Ultimate adds the most upscale features such as the larger 8-inch display, navigation, and premium audio.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 147 horsepower and front-wheel drive. The automatic transmission is standard on higher trims, while the manual is standard on Essential and Preferred.
• Safety package: Forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist start on Preferred. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a driver-monitoring system can be added through the Sun and Safety Package, and those features are standard on higher trims. Ultimate adds adaptive cruise control, pedestrian-detection enhancement, and Safe Exit Assist.
• Infotainment: A rear-view camera and Bluetooth are standard. Most trims above Essential get a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while Ultimate upgrades to an 8-inch display, navigation, and an Infinity premium sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada says the automatic version returns 7.4 L/100 km in combined driving, while the manual is rated at 8.0 L/100 km.

Which 2019 Hyundai Elantra trim should I buy?

The 2019 Hyundai Elantra is offered in 5 trim levels: Essential, Preferred, Luxury, Sport, and Ultimate.

Here's the short version:

• Essential: This is the entry point, but it is the most stripped-down version. It makes sense only if you want the lowest purchase price and are comfortable giving up some convenience and infotainment features.
• Preferred: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the key safety and convenience equipment many buyers will want, including forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist.
• Luxury: This trim adds more comfort and convenience, including satellite radio and the power sunroof, making it a good middle ground if you want a more polished daily driver.
• Sport: This is the trim to consider if you want the turbocharged character mentioned in the review summary and are willing to pay for a more engaging version of the Elantra.
• Ultimate: This is the most fully equipped version, with adaptive cruise control, pedestrian-detection braking, Safe Exit Assist, the larger 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, and premium audio.

The safety-package features are not standard on the base Essential, so if those matter to you, start your search at Preferred or higher.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Hyundai Elantra?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to compare options without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 28.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 492 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 19.02% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $12,221 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Hyundai Elantra's resale value?

The current average of $12,263 CAD sits slightly below last year's $15,143 CAD.

That softer pricing can be good news if you are buying now, but it also means a future seller may face a more competitive market if prices stay under pressure. The current spread between the year-ago average and today’s average suggests the Elantra has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation. If you buy at the right price, that can help limit your downside later. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Hyundai Elantra safe?

The 2019 Hyundai Elantra gets top marks across the board from IIHS, except for an Acceptable rating for the accessibility of its LATCH child-seat anchors. The government gives the car a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, thanks to four-star frontal-impact results combined with a four-star side-impact protection rating for rear-seat occupants.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Most versions include forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a driver-monitoring system can be added via the Sun and Safety Package, and those features are standard on higher trims. Ultimate adds adaptive cruise control, pedestrian-detection enhancement, and Safe Exit Assist. The main caveat is the Acceptable LATCH result, which is worth noting if you regularly install child seats.

Should I buy a 2019 Hyundai Elantra or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 28.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 19.02% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 refresh adds updated styling and a more current feel, while keeping the Elantra’s value-first appeal.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $14,281 CAD, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $12,263 CAD average.
• It adds improved fuel efficiency and newly packaged safety features.

The bottom line: If you want the better bargain, the 2019 is the smarter buy. If you are willing to spend more for a newer final-year version with added efficiency and safety packaging, the 2020 is the better alternative.

How does the 2019 Hyundai Elantra compare to the 2019 Honda Civic?

The Elantra is the stronger value play, with a much lower average used price and a larger share of good or great deals. The Civic counters with more listings and a bit more power, but you pay significantly more for it. If you want the better bargain and strong standard equipment, the Elantra makes the more compelling case.
