Hyundai rolls out the '21 Elantra in West Hollywood, CA, during a livestream event reflecting the sedan's high-tech credentials. Following the refreshed '20 Sonata as the second car in Hyundai's portfolio to adopt the automaker's "sensuous sportiness" design language, the all-new '21 Elantra isn't as shocking as it otherwise might be. It also helps that a 2019 refresh of the outgoing Elantra adopted triangular design themes to help prepare consumers for the new car's Parametric Dynamics styling details. Still, there's no denying the Elantra's bold look is more cohesively executed than either of those models. Built on the same third-generation vehicle architecture that underpins the '20 Sonata, the '21 Elantra is longer, wider, lower and lighter than the car it replaces. According to Hyundai, the stiffer platform improves steering responsiveness and enhances suspension performance.
