For K-State students, Fort Riley commuters and anyone who wants a sedan that sips fuel, the Hyundai Elantra is an easy fit. It slips into tight spots near Aggieville and campus, and it settles in comfortably for a run down I-70 to Topeka or Kansas City. At Manhattan Hyundai, 8020 US-24 on the east side of Manhattan, you can compare every Elantra trim, from the efficient SE to the turbocharged N Line, and drive it on the roads you use every day.
See the Elantra models in stock above, then use the guides below to compare trims, engines and fuel economy before you stop by for a test drive.
The 2.0L four-cylinder is EPA-estimated at up to 35 mpg combined and 40 mpg highway on the SE, according to Hyundai, so daily commutes to Junction City, Fort Riley and Wamego cost less in fuel.
The N Line uses a 201-hp turbocharged 1.6L with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and paddle shifters for a livelier drive on K-177 and the curves along Tuttle Creek Boulevard.
A usable back seat and a generous trunk handle friends, groceries, a game-day cooler for Bill Snyder Family Stadium or a dorm move-in load.
Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance comes standard, including automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping help. Upper trims add Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Highway Driving Assist for long highway runs.

Both are compact sedans with efficient four-cylinder engines and sporty variants. The Elantra offers a hybrid version and Hyundai’s 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, while the Civic differs in styling, interior layout and engine choices. A back-to-back test drive is the best way to compare.
The Elantra is front-wheel drive, which handles snow reasonably well with good tires. For ice storms and slick county roads, a set of winter tires makes the biggest difference. If you want all-wheel drive in a sedan, ask about the Sonata SEL Sport with available AWD.
