Carvana (opens in a new tab) calls 2023 a mostly carryover year, with a few trim-specific equipment updates, and the N Line using a turbocharged 1.6-liter four with 201 horsepower. J.D. Power (opens in a new tab) covers the Hyundai changes: the N Line drops the manual transmission for a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and gains a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster and 10.25-inch infotainment screen as standard, and the Elantra Hybrid is offered in Blue and Limited trims.

Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) lists up to 33 mpg city and 42 highway for the 2.0-liter, up to 28/36 for the turbo 1.6 and 53/56 for the hybrid, and measured 48 mpg for the hybrid on its highway route against 38 for the base-engine Limited. Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) puts used 2023 Elantras at $16,250 for the SE up to $19,500 for the N Line at a dealer.

NHTSA lists four recall campaigns for the 2023 Elantra. 22V632000 covers a driver's air bag cover emblem that may not have been welded properly, 23V526000 covers the electronic controller for the Idle Stop and Go oil pump, 23V589000 covers a motor control unit software error on 2021-2023 Elantra Hybrids that may cause unintended acceleration after the brake is released, and 24V528000 covers a fuel pump that may fail on Elantra N models.
