Performance and Efficiency for the Oklahoma Commute
A recent observation from our sales floor is that shoppers are increasingly prioritizing a balance between highway passing power and fuel economy. The 2026 Elantra delivers exactly that, with a standard 2.0L I4 engine that produces 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), which provides smooth acceleration while maximizing efficiency. For those who enjoy weekend trips to the nature center or coastal recreational areas in Bethany, the 33 city / 43 hwy MPG rating on the base SE trim makes long drives much more affordable.

While the standard engine is perfect for many, some drivers seek a more spirited experience. The N Line trim features a 1.6L I4 turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) for more responsive shifting. If you are considering a slightly larger sedan with similar efficiency, you might also want to look at our current Sonata inventory. For those working within a specific budget, we have new vehicles priced under $30k, providing plenty of choices for value-conscious buyers.
Every trim in the lineup, from the SE to the performance-focused N, utilizes a front-wheel drive (FWD) system that is well-suited for our regional weather patterns. If you are looking for even more variety, you can also view our full inventory of used vehicles to find the right performance profile for your needs.
Standard Features and Sporty Details of the SEL Sport Trim
Are you looking for a sedan that adds a touch of athletic styling without breaking the bank?

Priced at a starting MSRP of $25,956, it represents a significant value for those who want their car to stand out on the road. This trim level is easily identified by its Gloss Black 17-inch alloy wheels and a Gloss black rear spoiler, which give the vehicle a more aggressive stance.

You will also enjoy modern tech features like a wireless device charger and dual-zone automatic climate control, which are often reserved for higher-priced models in this segment.

Premium Amenities Found in the SEL Sport Premium Package
Does stepping up to a luxury brand feel like the only way to get high-end safety and comfort features? For 2026, Hyundai has replaced the previous SEL Convenience trim with the new SEL Sport Premium package. This configuration is designed for drivers who want the sporty look of the SEL Sport combined with even more sophisticated technology and comfort. It includes Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go, which automatically maintains a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.
The SEL Sport Premium also adds several interior upgrades that enhance the driving experience, such as a power sunroof and heated front seats. These features make a noticeable difference during our varied Oklahoma seasons. Furthermore, this trim includes 17-inch machine-finished alloy wheels, offering a slightly different visual appeal than the gloss-black versions found on the standard sport trim. If you are looking for a high-quality vehicle but prefer something pre-owned, we have an excellent selection of certified pre-owned Hyundais that provide a like-new experience.
Our finance experts can help you explore financing options through our online application, making it easy to see how the SEL Sport Premium fits into your monthly budget. We also offer a range of certified pre-owned SUVs if you decide you need more ground clearance. Regardless of the model you choose, we are committed to finding a payment plan that works for you.
Finding Your Fit Among the 2026 Elantra Trim Levels
When comparing the different versions of this sedan, it helps to look at them through the lens of your specific daily needs. The entry-level SE is listed at $24,543 and includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration, making it a fantastic choice for first-time buyers. Moving up to the SEL at $25,956 adds more convenience, while the Limited trim at $29,138 focuses on a more upscale experience with leatherette seating and a Bose Premium Audio system. For those who prioritize performance, the N Line at $31,225 and the track-ready N at $38,155 offer a completely different level of power.
If you find that your family needs more space than a sedan provides, you can browse our new SUV inventory to compare the Elantra to our larger models. We also suggest checking out the new Kona inventory if you are interested in a compact crossover. Our goal is to ensure you drive away in the vehicle that perfectly matches your lifestyle and budget.
You can always return to our home page to see our latest specials and featured vehicles.

Rear-seat passengers are treated to about 38 inches of legroom, which is competitive even with some larger sedans. The trunk provides about 14 cubic feet of cargo space, and the 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks allow you to carry longer items when necessary.

We also maintain a stock of new Sonata Hybrids for those who want a larger sedan with exceptional fuel economy.
The interior design also focuses on the driver, with a cockpit-like layout that keeps all essential controls within easy reach. Physical dials for volume and climate control are a welcome feature for many, providing a tactile experience that complements the high-resolution touchscreens. Whether you are driving solo or with a full car of passengers, this sedan is engineered to keep everyone comfortable and connected.
