Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is at the forefront of the Elantra SEL design, providing peace of mind for you and your passengers. This sedan is equipped with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) to help you stay on track and avoid potential hazards. When changing lanes or backing out of tight spots, the Blind spot warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems act as an extra set of eyes, while the Exterior Parking Camera Rear provides a clear view of what is behind you.

The vehicle is built with a robust safety cage and features 7 airbags, including Dual front impact airbags, Seat mounted side impact airbags, and a Driver side knee airbag. Braking performance is handled by 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with a 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes system and Brake assist. Additionally, the Driver attention alert monitor can detect signs of fatigue, suggesting a break when it senses your focus may be wavering during long drives home to Paris, IL.

Elegant Exterior and Design Features

The exterior of this Elantra is finished in a professional Portofino Gray, a color that perfectly complements its sleek, aerodynamic lines. The front end is highlighted by a Black grille with chrome accents and Projector beam headlights that provide excellent visibility after dark. Daytime running lights and Auto on/off headlight control ensure you are always visible to others, adding both style and safety to the vehicles profile.

The sedan sits proudly on 16in x 6.5J Alloy Wheels with a silver finish, wrapped in P205/55RT16 AS BSW tires. Body-colored elements, including the Body-colored front bumper, Body-colored rear bumper, and Body-colored door handles, create a cohesive and premium look.
