2022 Hyundai Elantra Trim Levels

The Hyundai Elantra is back after a comprehensive redesign and upgrades for the 2021 model year, which gave the popular compact sedan a dynamic new style, plenty of interior room, and a slew of safety and technology features. Road manners and handling are just as impressive as the generous horsepower and torque ratings. Winner of the North American Car of the Year title in 2021, the 2022 update still offers excellent engine options and a more diverse range of trim levels than competing vehicles. Let’s take a look through the 2022 Hyundai Elantra trim levels.

Elantra SE

The SE starts off the Hyundai Elantra trim levels for 2022. One of the most beautiful base trims of any sedan, it comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, as well as a Smartstream intelligent variable transmission. There are also three driving modes: Normal, Smart, and Sport. This year’s SE has body-color door handles and automated headlamp control. Inside, you’ll discover cloth seats, an 8-inch touch screen, and a 4.2-inch digital gauge cluster.

The Elantra is smarter than ever before when it comes to detecting perilous road scenarios. The expanded safety features modify braking, steering, and acceleration to remain in control during common risky situations, such as lane drifting.

The SE now gets lane following assist, front cross-traffic and blind-spot collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, and driver attention warning all standard, along with high beam assist. The Elantra uses sensors and warning lights with sounds to alert you if your driving inputs become irregular or risky. With this technology and more, the Elantra is able to keep a driver’s attention on the road in a non-disruptive way.

Elantra SEL

On the SEL, a range of options becomes available. While the fabric seating is the same as on the base trim, heated front seats and a 10.25-inch touch screen display are available, along with wireless device charging. The SEL’s height and premium appearance are enhanced by the 16-inch alloy wheels. There are a few external improvement choices as well, like the front grille in dark chrome, LED tail lamps, and chrome window embellishment.

With the SEL, all of your Bluetooth and audio controls are conveniently located on the steering wheel. What’s more, Hyundai’s innovative proximity key with push-button start found on higher trims is also available on this edition.

Elantra N Line

The 2022 Elantra N Line adds additional athletic features to the Elantra, as well as a more powerful engine. A turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission are found under the hood. This engine outputs 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, adding more acceleration potential and highway confidence.

The N Line also rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with performance tires and sport-tuned springs. The interior boasts a unique combination of leather and cloth seats. The N Line is equipped with single twin exhaust tips with sporty sound to emphasize the high-performance image. The glossy black points on the side mirror covers and the DLP molding add up to a more sophisticated look.

The N Line improved the already comfortable driving experience on the Elantra, ensuring you get the most out of every moment. A multi-link rear suspension reduces the delivery of vibration or sounds from the road to the cabin. The increased braking effectiveness of larger front disc brakes provides more stability in demanding driving conditions. Whether against the daily quibbles of your commute to work or sharp corners on a freeway road trip, picky drivers will appreciate the Elantra N Line.

Elantra Limited

As the Limited is the highest trim level, everything is standard. LED headlamps and taillamps are included, as well as LED daytime running lights. It adds full leather seat upholstery, chrome window trim, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever.

The Limited also adds the final, more exclusive driver aid items, like reverse park distance warning and reverse parking collision avoidance assist. It even gets highway drive assist, which uses the smart cruise control system to stay in your lane and move with traffic at a proper speed limit. Highway drive assist uses GPS data to be certain the driver is actually on a highway and to judge the path ahead.

The Elantra Limited comes with a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, as well as heated front seats and heated side mirrors. You can even switch from warm mood lighting to intense party tones with custom 64-color ambient interior lights.

Elantra Hybrid Blue

We’d be remiss not to also mention the two trim levels of the 2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid. This next evolution of the Elantra gets up to 56 mpg equivalent on the highway with a 1.6-liter engine and electric motor. It also stands above the competition with a healthy list of standard features and a sharp, assertive exterior impression.

With 99.4 cubic feet of passenger volume, the Elantra Hybrid is an easy pick for drivers who pack a lot of gear. The Blue is the first of the two Elantra Hybrid trim levels and is equipped similarly to the SE or SEL. The Elantra Hybrid Blue uses an 8-inch color touch screen display, six audio speakers, and 16-inch alloy wheels.

Elantra Hybrid Limited

The Limited is the premium alternative to the Hybrid Blue model. The Hybrid Limited trim delivers 52 mpg equivalent on the highway and comes with a 10.3-inch touch screen with navigation, ventilated front seats, full LED headlights, and fast wireless device charging. It also gets eight audio speakers over the Blue’s six, leather seating, 60/40-split folding rear seats, a separate 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster, ambient interior lighting, and Hyundai Digital Key. The 17-inch alloy wheels get dark chrome exterior accents and the side mirrors get turn-signal indicators.
