Should I buy a used Hyundai Elantra now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −12.49% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −11.07%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.2% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33.1%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $22,546 CAD. The Hyundai Elantra offers a roomy cabin, strong value, and a broad mix of trims that make it easy to match your budget and priorities.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: As an affordable, mass-market car, you would reasonably expect the Elantra to offer one powertrain. Instead, there are four engines and five transmissions, each of which share a front-wheel drive (FWD) layout and four cylinders.
• Tech: A 10.25-inch touchscreen is now standard on the Luxury trim and above, while the Essential and Preferred have an 8-inch touchscreen; the smaller system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Safety: Standard safety features on the 2024 Hyundai Elantra in Canada include a simple forward braking assist system, lane keep assist and lane departure warning, lane following assist, automatic high beams, and a driver attention monitor.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
