Contrary to popular opinion, Hyundai believes that quality and affordability are not mutually exclusive. In a world where the supposedly best cars can cost more than a house, Hyundai seeks to shake up the market with the latest model of the Elantra. The carmakers created a new trim, the SEL, to provide excellent quality at an affordable price.
The SEL replaces the previous SE trim with a Popular Equipment Package and slots between the base Elantra and the Value model. While the SEL can be upgraded with the Popular Equipment Package, the trim as is offers an array of improvements in safety, convenience, and enjoyment.
Safety, first and foremost
Hyundai designed the Elantra SEL with your safety in mind. The carmakers equipped this model with the latest in protective, preventative technology. These new features include Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Lane Change Assist to help you navigate busier, bigger roads.
A Rearview Camera with dynamic guidelines will assist you in tricky parking situations, while the heated outside mirrors and automatic headlamp control increase visibility. The Elantra SEL even works under the radar to keep you safe with four-wheel disc brakes. These help the car maintain brake balance in varying conditions, from normal to very heavy brake use.
Simplified life
The Elantra SEL also adds convenience to the overall package. Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ seamlessly integrate your smartphone with your drive and minimize distractions, so you can engage the functions you need without pulling your focus from the road. A 3.5-inch TFT monocluster display makes the important numbers—speed, fuel, and revolutions per minute—easier to read. Additionally, for your passengers, Hyundai added rear cup holders to hopefully cut down on spills. Hyundai also upgraded the Elantra SEL to receive 16-inch alloy wheels with 205/55 R16 tires for the smoothest ride.
Good, clean fun
Last but definitely not least, driving Hyundai’s Elantra SEL is just plain fun. You can play your old favorite songs with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ or scan the latest hits on the SEL’s 7-inch display audio system with AM/FM/HD Radio.
The 2018 Hyundai Elantra SEL is a great value. The trim offers expanded functionality and a safer, more convenient, and more fun drive, all at an affordable price. To learn more about the Elantra, call, contact us online, or visit us at 505 W. Franklin St., Chapel Hill, NC 27516 today!
