What is the difference between 2022 and 2023 Elantra?

For 2023, Hyundai makes few changes to its existing model lineup, save for a refresh of its popular Palisade SUV. At the same time, the Korean carmaker is thinning the ranks of its non-SUV offerings, dropping the Accent subcompact sedan, Veloster 3-door hatchback, and Ioniq Hybrid/Ioniq PHEV (plug-in hybrid) 5-door hatchbacks from the lineup. Clearly, Hyundai is focusing on its electric-vehicle (EV) lineup, as the all-electric Ioniq 6 sedan and Ioniq 7 large SUV are set to debut in the coming months, joining the new-for-2022, fully electric Ioniq 5.

When did Elantra body style change?

For the 2019 model year, Hyundai gave the Elantra sedan a thorough makeover. The exterior was completely redesigned and now featured an angular look in the headlights and more premium, horizontally-oriented taillights.

Why Elantra is discontinued?

Hyundai India has discontinued its only D-segment sedan offering, the Elantra, and has subsequently taken the car's details off of its website. Since November last year, no units of the Elantra have found new homes, thus prompting the South Korean brand to bid adieu to its flagship sedan for the Indian market.

How often does the 2022 Elantra need an oil change?

Hyundai endorses getting your 2022 Hyundai Elantra oil & filter changed each 3,000-5,000 miles for conventional oil. Synthetic oil normally should be changed each 7,500 - 10,000 miles.

What is the circle in the 2022 Elantra?

Installed on uplevel Elantra models (a faux-vent cutout otherwise occupies the space), it sort of looks like a clock, but it's not. It's apparently just an illuminated, decorative surface. It doesn't do anything: It isn't touch-sensitive and it's not even an LCD — it's just a strange plastic panel with a pattern on it.
