We have over 10,000 listings for the Hyundai Elantra arranging from $1,799 to $99,999.

Buying Advice

For 2010, we would recommend going all out with the SE trim. For the added price you get all the features of the Blue and GLS trim along with 16-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, a telescoping steering column and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. We would also recommend getting the optional heated front seats and power sunroof to make the Elantra your ultimate daily driver for years to come. Wee especially liked the Carbon Gray Mist Metallic, Ebony Black Pearl, and Liquid Silver Metallic paint schemes which give the Elantra a pleasant and classy look.
