Segment: Compact
Production years: 2014, 2015, 2016
Hyundai refreshed the Elantra's fifth generation in 2014 and claimed that it brought improvements in all the areas, especially on the engineering side.
Elantra evolved impressively since its first generation, which debuted in 1990. The fast development took the once humble small-sized vehicle to a compact-segment sedan that offered more room inside it than some mid-size sedans.
From the outside, the changes were minimal. Unlike other Elantra's generations, when a facelift was easy to spot, on the 2014 model, it was barely noticeable. At the front, the carmaker changed the vertical fog lights with a new set of L-shaped ones. The front bumper received a new shape to fit them, and also, the headlights sported LED accents. In the back, there were new accents for the taillights.
Hyundai installed a standard, 4.3" infotainment system with reversing camera, iPod/USB inputs, and six speakers for the interior. A 7" system with a third-generation navigation unit was available at extra costs and included the Pandora radio system.
The carmaker enhanced the drivetrain with stiffer suspensions and improved engines. It also introduced a new trim level, Sport, which was powered by a direct-injected 2.0-liter engine and a standard six-speed manual, while a six-speed automatic was on the options list. The base engine was the 145 hp, 1.8-liter four-pot powerplant.
