It’s spacious inside the Elantra Hybrid, and comfort levels are high. There’s also a modern style that isn’t over the top, which we appreciate. The only criticism we have is that it doesn’t take long before things start to feel a bit plasticky, which is something Hyundai is usually better at disguising. To keep up with Honda and Toyota’s reputations, Hyundai is going to need to improve its build quality for the Elantra in general – we have an Elantra N on test, as this is being written, and it has the same thing going as well as a plasticky rattle from the infotainment screen.
Base models come with an eight-inch touchscreen for infotainment, but the Limited gets a 10.25-inch display which is lovely, clear, and easy to use. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, but only by hooking the phone up with a wire. Voice recognition, navigation, and wireless device charging are also included on the top trim, as is an eight-speaker Bose sound system.
