The 2025 Hyundai Elantra delivers a fresh spin on compact sedans, with trim options that fit just about every taste and budget. This year's lineup ranges from the wallet-friendly SE to the performance-focused N Line. If you're ready to find out which version might suit your driving style, our team at Huffines Hyundai Plano has prepared a guide to the Hyundai Elantra's trim levels and details.
2025 Hyundai Elantra Overview: Trims and Features
Hyundai offers the 2025 Elantra in five distinct versions: the SE, SEL Sport, SEL Convenience, N Line, and Limited. Most versions run on a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an intelligent variable automatic transmission (IVT). Front-wheel drive comes standard in a configuration that balances responsive acceleration and fuel efficiency. If you need more speed, the Elantra N Line kicks things up with a 201-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter engine connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.
Detailed Breakdown of the 2025 Hyundai Elantra Trims
Here's a look at each of the Elantra's trims.
Hyundai Elantra SE
Starting at $22,125, the entry-level Elantra SE is packed with features. The powertrain delivers a laid-back driving feel with impressive fuel efficiency of 32 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. LED projector headlights give it a modern look while helping you see better at night. Even the base Elantra comes loaded with useful technology, including an 8-inch touch-screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and USB ports for back-seat passengers.
Hyundai Elantra SEL Sport
The SEL Sport bumps things up with some sporty accents for a starting MSRP of $23,250. You'll spot the 17-inch alloy wheels right away. Inside, you'll find a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wireless charging, and aluminum pedals that make driving fun, although fuel efficiency dips slightly to 30 city/39 highway/34 combined mpg.
Hyundai Elantra SEL Convenience
Starting at $25,825, the SEL Convenience adds thoughtful touches that make daily driving nicer. Heated side mirrors clear winter frost while you stay cozy inside with heated front seats, and a sunroof lets you catch some rays or stars while on the road. Tech upgrades include a 10.25-inch gauge cluster, Hyundai Pay, and Bluelink+, and the 60/40-split folding rear seats let you haul longer items when needed.
Hyundai Elantra Limited
The Limited (from $26,775) adds a touch of luxury to the Elantra line. A Bose audio system pumps crisp sound through the cabin, while leather-trimmed seats add a touch of class. Tech details include a 10.25-inch touch-screen display with navigation and Hyundai Digital Key 2, which lets you tap your compatible smartphone to unlock and go. Despite all these premium touches, fuel economy holds steady at 30 city and 39 highway mpg.
Hyundai Elantra N Line
The N Line, priced from $28,975, turns the Elantra into a race car with paddle shifters, sporty detailing, and a quick-shifting transmission. A multilink rear suspension hugs corners better than other trims. Supportive sport seats and 18-inch wheels complete the package. Fuel efficiency (28 city/35 highway/31 combined mpg) takes a hit, but the N Line's sharp looks and track-inspired handling are worth it.
Feature Evaluation Across Trims
The 2025 Elantra offers a range of tech and comfort features.
Infotainment and Technology
Screens rule the tech landscape in the 2025 Elantra, even in the base model. Lower trims offer an 8-inch touch screen with a straightforward interface that handles your maps, music, and calls with a minimal learning curve. Higher trims offer sharper graphics, more screen real estate, and digital driver information displays.
Interior and Comfort
Base trims have cloth upholstery that handles daily life well, while pricier versions get H-Tex or genuine leather trim for a classier feel, and the back seat is roomy and comfortable. In higher trims, manual seats become power-adjustable with lumbar support and heat for cool Plano mornings. The trunk offers 14 cubic feet of cargo space, plenty for groceries and sports gear.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Hyundai loads even the base Elantra with key safety tech. Forward collision warnings with automatic braking come standard, as do lane departure alerts and lane-keeping assist. Upper trims add highway driving assist for easier highway cruising, plus blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alerts. Some systems even warn passengers before they swing doors into traffic.
Which Elantra Is for You?
If you like value, the SE delivers with wireless phone connections and solid safety tech. For sportiness without breaking the bank, the SEL Sport stands out. You'll love how the SEL Convenience makes your daily commute more pleasant with a sunroof and heated seats.
The Limited hits all the high notes with premium audio and advanced driver-assistance features. If performance is what you prefer, the N Line's turbo punch and upgraded suspension may be the one for you.
