Smart 2.0CC — Smart Entry
The lowest price in the Elantra range at SAR 76,350. Covers the daily essentials: 8-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and core safety. The absence of a rear camera and smart key may prompt an upgrade consideration — but it delivers the Elantra's essence at the lowest cost.
Smart 2.0L — The Optimal Balance
The best-selling trim in the Elantra lineup for our customers. Adds LED headlights, alloy wheels, smart key, rear camera, parking sensors, automatic A/C, and cruise control. For SAR 10,250 more than the CC — these additions meaningfully improve the daily experience.
Comfort 2.0L — The Complete Level
The peak of the Elantra range: faux leather seats, electric driver seat, sunroof, 6 airbags, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. For those who want the highest safety and comfort level from the Elantra.
■ The Design: Elantra Says Something Different
What visually distinguishes the Elantra 2026 is the 'Parametric Dynamics' design philosophy — a language combining sharp flowing lines with distinctive geometric angles. A wide front grille and slim lighting, deep sculpted side surfaces that deliver visual depth unusual in the economy sedan class.
The result: the Elantra looks like a car from a higher price bracket than its actual class — which is why young professionals often prefer it over the Corolla and Civic.
💡 The interior wide curved display and layered dashboard architecture feels genuinely premium — reviewers note it looks more upscale than its price suggests

The summary: the Elantra delivers the lowest entry price in the class with a 5-year warranty that the Corolla and Civic cannot match. The Corolla leads on resale value. The Civic offers a stronger turbocharged engine. But in the value-versus-price equation — SAR 76,350 with a 5-year warranty is difficult to compete against.

■ Who Is the Elantra 2026 For?
The Elantra suits you if...
• An employee or student wanting a modern-design sedan at reasonable running cost
• You want the 5-year warranty that the Corolla and Civic do not offer
• You prefer a bold, different design over classical conservatism
• Your budget is in the SAR 76,000–93,000 range and you want maximum equipment per riyal
It may not suit you if...
• You prioritise resale value above everything — the Corolla is stronger there
• You want a turbocharged sporty engine — the Civic 1.5T or Elantra N Line (not at Alromaih) is better
• You need a wider cabin — the Camry or Sonata in the class above is better suited
