Every Big Change To The Hyundai Elantra In 2023 – SlashGear

At first glance, you’d be forgiven for confusing the 2023 Elantra and the car from the previous model year. Hyundai’s design language has stayed the same, a riot of angles and sharp crease-lines. You’ll either love it or hate it, but at least it’s far more memorable than the automaker’s prior sedans.

Hyundai’s base SE trim is unexpectedly well-equipped for the price, especially when it comes to active safety tech. Standard across the board is collision-avoidance assistance with pedestrian detection, blind-spot collision-avoidance assistance, lane keeping assistance, lane following assistance, and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist. All Elantra trims get high-beam assist, driver attention warnings, and safe exit warnings, too.

Spending more, though, gets you extra comfort features and technology. Hyundai has made a key change there for 2023, removing the SEL Premium package that was offered on the model year 2022 Elantra SEL. Instead, there’s an updated version of the old SEL Convenience package, now a $1,900 option for the Elantra SEL trim, and adding most of what the old SEL Premium package used to include.
