A Brief History of the Hyundai ELANTRA:

The first-generation ELANTRA, a compact sedan, was released in 1990 but was called LANTRA in some markets. Various stories surround the name's origin. Some cite its French root “elan,” meaning energy or impulse. Others refer to its Latin root “elatio,” meaning to elevate or lift one's spirits. 

By 2001, the name was standardized to ELANTRA, and the vehicle paved the way for Hyundai's successful growth over the next 20 years. Over the years, the ELANTRA has had sedan, coupe, hatchback, and wagon models. Today, the seventh-generation Hyundai ELANTRA is strictly a sedan but has an expressive, modern style.

Latest Innovations in the Newest Model

Hyundai offers several new standard and available technology features in the ELANTRA. A 10.25-inch interactive display and a 10.25-inch digital information cluster merge for a nearly seamless view of all your driving data and infotainment.

The Hyundai Digital Key 2 Touch system turns your phone into a key that can lock, unlock, and start your vehicle. You can also text the key to friends, granting them access when you're unavailable.
