With the 2019 model year, the Hyundai Elantra has received a major overhaul and is much different from prior model years. The first thing that you will notice is a brand new exterior appearance, which has been completely refreshed for the new model year. This includes a different shell, giving it a more modern design. There are also new entertainment and safety features that come standard with more of the trim levels. This includes blind spot monitoring, a new infotainment system, and other tech features that were previously upgrades.
