Edmunds wrote?The Hyundai Elantra has been a staple in the South Korean automaker's lineup for more than three decades now. It's not always been a desirable pick over other small sedans such as the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, but the fight has never been closer than in 2023. The latest Elantra, which was redesigned just two years ago, offers an attainable starting price, lots of features for your money, and styling that sticks out from the doldrum of other compacts on the roads. Overall, we think the Elantra is a solid choice for anyone looking for a compact sedan in 2023. We think the SEL is the best pick for overall value. It's a solid step up from the standard SE trim and gives you the option to add some extra technology features if you so desire. SE Starts things off with a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a Height-adjustable driver's seat, the 8-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration with wireless connectivity and Dual USB ports. Standard safety equipment on all Elantras includes...Forward collision mitigation, Blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, Rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, Lane keeping assistance, Driver attention warning, Safe exit warning, Lane keeping system and Rear automatic braking. SEL Adds more convenience features, such as?Keyless entry and push-button start, Dual-zone automatic climate control, Satellite radio and a Six-speaker audio system
