Hyundai Elantra AD (6th Generation)

20172020 · AD · sedan

Sixth-gen Elantra walked the styling back to something more conservative after the MD generation's love-it-or-hate-it look. Base car used the 2.0L Nu (147 hp); the 2017-2020 Elantra Sport added a 1.6L Gamma turbo (201 hp) with available 6-speed manual. A mid-cycle 2019 facelift restyled the front and rear. Eco trim used a 1.4L turbo with a 7-speed DCT.

Watch out: REAL ISSUE: The 2.0L Nu Atkinson-cycle base engine is part of the Theta-family service campaigns. Check VIN against NHTSA campaigns 20V-018 (knock sensor detection software) and related rod-bearing recalls before buying.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
