If you are one of the hardcore sedan lovers, we guess you could never ignore the appeal of the Hyundai Elantra. It is a sedan with classic taste, manufactured by a brand, which is popular around the world for making exemplary models on nearly every vehicle body style.

We learned from the Hyundai dealership near Ontario that Hyundai has redesigned its Elantra model just the last year in 2021. Naturally, it makes us think that for 2022, Hyundai will release its Elantra mostly as a carry-over model. We guessed it right, and so we get the same three trim levels repeated this year with almost the same configurations maintained in the models of SE, SEL, and Limited trims.

Cabin Features

The 2022 Hyundai Elantra as a compact sedan offers enough space for five people to travel in its cozily arranged cabin space. The seats are wide and comfortable, making enough head and legroom for each of the occupants, while they offer constant support with the most ideal posterior angle, so that long-distance travel does not cause drive fatigue.

The 2022 Hyundai Elantra will offer you a 14.2 cu-ft. of space at the trunk to load your travel kits, which is at par with the cargo hold its segment offers. However, apart from these, there are lot many lucrative features to enjoy in the 2022 Hyundai Elantra models. To be specific, all the trim models of the 2022 Hyundai Elantra are feature-rich. Therefore, let us look across the lineup of this Hyundai sedan series and know the features they offer.

The name of the base trim model of the 2022 Hyundai Elantra is SE. It comes with features like a cloth-upholstered cabin, an 8-inch high-resolution touch screen display for the infotainment system for convenience. On the exterior side, it uses pairs of 15-inch alloy wheels. On the safety front, the 2022 Hyundai Elantra offers an extra layer of protection with the help of Automatic Emergency Braking and High Beam Assist that boosts up the confidence level of the driver, especially during night drives.

The next higher trim SEL offers you 16-inch alloy wheels as standard. It also offers you the advantages of an advanced infotainment system, Bluelink Connected Care that subscribes to the SiriusXM Satellite Radio, if you are ready to pay extra for these available features. You can order this trim in leather Upholstery, and get features like heated front seats as well as a Premium Audio system from Bose with eight speakers.

Performance Features

The 2022 Hyundai Elantra rides on a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine making 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque when it pairs with an Intelligent Variable Transmission set with a Front Wheel Drive layout. This powertrain comes on all trims as standard. However, if you go for the range topping Elantra N Line model, it will arm you up with a 1.6L turbo I-4 engine raising 201 hp.

Driving the 2022 Hyundai Elantra felt ecstatic at the Ontario area Hyundai dealership when we chose the Select Drive Mode and kept switching to other ones like Normal, Sport, and Smart to match the steering response automatically with the throttle input.
