2020 Elantra Crain Hyundai of Bentonville Arkansas

The 2020 Hyundai Elantra stands out from other cars in its class because it offers power, elegance, and cost-effectiveness in one great package. Considering this is a car that handles great and has a ton of tech features, it’s time to take a closer look.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

The Elantra takes the syncing of your phones to the next level. Yes, there is Bluetooth connectivity, as there is with most vehicles these days, but with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, the sync to your smartphones will do so much more. You’ll be able to bring over your contacts, text messages, and emails. You’ll also be able to have the car read those messages to you, so you aren’t taking your eyes off the road.

It’s not all work and no play, though. You can also bring over your favorite podcasts, audiobooks, and music. You’ll be able to pick up where you left off in any of those apps, and then, when you get where you’re going, you’ll be able to pick up and go once again after you get out of the car.

Wireless Device Charging

Being able to charge your mobile devices in your car isn’t big news these days. Most cars come packed with USB ports that allow you to plug in your phones or tablets and charge on the go. Where the Elantra does everyone better is the option to charge a device wirelessly. There are spots in the car where you can set your phone, and it will charge through contact. That’s both great functionally and also allows you to avoid cords hanging everywhere in the cabin.

You’ll be shocked at how nice it is to get in your car and not have to immediately move a pile of cords to give your cabin a cleaner look. Those cords can also become frayed and stop working. You don’t have that worry when working with these wireless charging ports.

Driver Attention Warning System

We all want to think that we’re continually paying total attention when we’re behind the wheel. The fact of the matter is that your attention is going to wane now and then, especially on a long drive. The Elantra’s safety system will monitor and learn your driving habits. Once it’s logged those habits, it will be able to deduce when your attention isn’t what it should be on the road.

If you start to drift in the lane or are coming up too quickly on the car in front of you, the system will attempt to alert you. If the alert doesn’t change the way you’re driving, it can take the lead and engage the braking or steering system. The tech will then gently correct what you’re doing until it finally has your full attention.
