Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) data shows that Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which are both integrated into Hyundai's Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, are associated with a 50 percent reduction in rear-end collisions. In addition, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 94 percent of serious vehicle crashes involve human error, which is why advanced safety technologies like Lane Keep Assist have the potential to save lives.

Now in its sixth generation, the Elantra has sold more than 3 million units since its launch in the U.S. in 1991. Elantra has received numerous accolades including the most recent IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus for model year 2018. In addition to quality, reliability, and being backed by America's Best Warranty, the JD Power IQS recently awarded Hyundai third place overall in the highly-regarded industry quality study. The Elantra is built in Hyundai's Montgomery, Alabama, plant and its Ulsan, South Korea, facility.

"Refinements to both the interior and exterior were initiated on the 2019 Elantra to maintain its emotional design character and include affordable and desired features," said Scott Margason, director, product planning, Hyundai. "The hood, front fenders, fascia, grille and headlights, as well as the rear fascia, trunk, and taillights each have been redesigned to convey a catchy and confident image. On the rear of the vehicle, the license plate has been relocated to the lower fascia to further enhance the new body sculpture."
