The Elantra’s 8.0-inch touchscreen is one of the best in-house systems we’ve tested, especially from a mainstream carmaker and at this price point. It’s good-looking, slick in operation and feature loaded. Navigation is a given, as are Bluetooth, USB and Aux input, and displaying the feed from the rear camera, but it also gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The graphics are large, clear and easy to see on the move, and most of the menus are accessible by physical buttons and knobs, so you don’t have to rely solely on tapping the screen to use it. The six-speaker audio system is surprisingly robust too, thanks to the Arkamys software that runs it. This unit is truly one of the Elantra’s highlights.
