A Closer Look at the Luxurious Design Features of the 2023 Hyundai Elantra Interior - Memprize (2024)

SUVs have undoubtedly taken over U.S. roads, with more Americans choosing them over smaller cars. Despite that, two sedans outperformed the highest sales gains of SUVs in the first quarter of 2023. These two are none other than the Hyundai Sonata and Elantra.

The Elantra has always been Hyundai’s best-selling sedan. And for good reason: it continuously evolves to offer modern design features at a reasonable price.

To that end, we created this guide discussing the top 2023 Hyundai Elantra interior features. So read on, as what you learn here can help you decide if it’s worthy of a spot in your garage.

Spacious Interiors

The base SE, followed by the SEL, the Limited, and the N Line, are the four trims of the 2023 (and 2024) Hyundai Elantra.

The 2023 Hyundai Elantra specs in terms of dimensions are similar, except for slight differences in the front and rear headroom:

  • SE headroom: 40.6 inches/37.3 inches
  • SEL headroom: 40.6 inches (or 38.7 with sunroof)/37.3 inches
  • Limited headroom: 40.6 inches/38.7 inches
  • N Line headroom: 38.7 inches/37.3 inches

As for their similar measurements, here they are:

  • Legroom: 42.3 inches/38.0 inches
  • Shoulder room: 56.5 inches/55.6 inches
  • Hip room: 53.4 inches/50.5 inches

These 2023 Hyundai Elantra dimensions make this sedan among the most spacious options in the compact car category.

Interior Comfort and Convenience Features

Just because the 2023 Elantra SE is the base trim doesn’t mean it lacks features. On the contrary, it boasts many standard comfort and convenience perks, including:

  • 6-way adjustable driver seat with height adjustment
  • 4-way adjustable passenger seat
  • Front passenger slide/recline
  • Power door locks
  • Tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel
  • Cloth seating surfaces

Even more impressive is that even the SE trim of the 2023 Hyundai Elantra features solar control glass. Standard across all the Elantra trims, this glass limits the amount of solar heat that can enter through the window pane. It helps control the car’s interior temperature better, increasing comfort while reducing the need to turn the air conditioner up.

Extra Features Standard in the Higher Trims

Several features, such as the hands-free trunk release and dual-automatic climate controls, are only standard in the Elantra’s SEL trims and higher. The same goes for the illuminated vanity mirrors, sliding sun visors, and Proximity Key entry with push-button start.

The two highest trims, the Limited and N Line, also boast the following standard features:

  • Power tilt-and-slide sunroof
  • Wireless device charging
  • 10.25-inch gauge cluster
  • Hyundai Digital Key
  • Power driver seat with lumbar support
  • Heated front seats
  • 60/40 split-folding rear seatback with armrest and cupholders

The Elantra Limited also comes with 64-color customizable ambient interior lighting. This feature isn’t available in any other trim.

Infotainment and Audio Technologies

The 2023 Hyundai Elantra SE and SEL have an 8-inch touchscreen display. The SEL’s Convenience Package and the higher trims upgrade this to a 10.25-inch version. But whatever trim you choose, you’ll get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

All trims also share the following standard infotainment and audio features:

  • Steering wheel-mounted audio, Bluetooth, and cruise controls
  • HD Radio
  • Bluetooth hands-free phone system with Voice Recognition capabilities

If you opt for the SEL or a higher trim, you’ll also get SiriusXM Satellite Radio. However, only the Limited trim comes standard with a Bose premium audio system consisting of eight speakers, including a center channel and a subwoofer.

Bluelink Connected Care

In its 2023 Hyundai Elantra review, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded it a Top Safety Pick recognition. This is due to the sedan earning “Good” (the highest possible rating) in all the IIHS crashworthiness tests.

So, if you go with the 2023 Elantra, you can be confident that you’re driving a safe and crashworthy car.

However, with Bluelink Connected Care, Hyundai made the 2023 Elantra safer and more secure. It’s a collection of in-car and remote connectivity, safety, and security services. You can find it in nearly all new Hyundai models, including the 2023 Elantra SEL and higher trims.

Bluelink is complimentary for the first three years of ownership. Once the free trial expires, you can continue your subscription for $9.99 a month.

Here’s an overview of what you can expect from Bluelink Connected Care.

MyHyundai App

Hyundai pairs its Bluelink services with the MyHyundai App, which you can download from the Google Play or Apple App Store. This app lets you conveniently access many Bluelink features via your smart device. With this, you can perform many remote functions, from starting your Elantra’s engine to locking and unlocking its doors with just a few taps.

Remote Start With Climate Control⁠

This feature lets you start your Hyundai’s engine and HVAC system remotely. You can access it via your MyHyundai app while inside your home, getting ready for work or school. So, by the time you slide into your Elantra, its engine will have warmed up, and its interiors will already be at your preferred temperature setting.

Remote Door Lock and Unlock⁠

Can’t remember if you locked your Elantra’s doors?

Worry not; you can check and ensure you’ve locked it with Bluelink’s Remote Door Lock and Unlock feature. You can do this even if you’re far from your vehicle via your MyHyundai app.

On-Demand Diagnostics and Alerts⁠

With this feature, you can run a complete vehicle diagnostic check of your Elantra while sitting inside it. You can access this directly from the vehicle’s touchscreen display.

If the test reveals an issue, you can set a service schedule by pressing the Service Link button on your Elantra’s rearview mirror. Doing this forwards your service schedule and details to your preferred dealer.

Automatic Emergency Assistance

We hope you’ll never get into an accident while driving your Elantra. However, if you do, you may find it reassuring that your Hyundai will automatically call for help if its airbags deploy. You can also get emergency assistance 24/7, 365 days a year, by pushing the SOS button on your car’s rearview mirror.

Enjoy These 2023 Hyundai Elantra Interior Features

From boasting spacious, comfortable interiors to advanced Bluelink services, these are only a few of the top 2023 Hyundai Elantra interior features. Don’t forget that this sedan is a Top Safety Pick awardee, making it even more worth investing in.

So, why not visit or call your local Hyundai dealership today? This way, you can test drive the 2023 Elantra and see how feature-packed its interior is.
