One of the Elantra's most notable new feature is the built-in dashcam, which is mounted at the top of the windshield and can send footage to either the infotainment screen or a smartphone. Additionally, the updated Elantra comes with a digital key that allows owners to lock and unlock the car and share usage rights with up to seven people. The mobile device running on iOS or Android can double as a digital key.

The air conditioning system has a new "After-Blow" feature that reduces mold growth by automatically drying the evaporator and any condensate leftover in the air passage. Hyundai unveiled this technology in 2020, and it works by activating for 10 minutes after the engine is turned off and the condensate on the evaporator drains naturally for about 30 minutes. During this time, the air conditioning system automatically allows the influx of outside air to prevent humidity from building up.
To ensure that the After-Blow feature does not drain the battery completely, the updated Elantra has a sensor that can sense when the battery is running low. The system will not be activated when outside temperatures are low or when the air conditioning has not been used for an extended amount of time.

The Avante/Elantra in its domestic market is available with a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter gasoline engine that can produce 121 horsepower and 114 pound-feet (154 Newton-meters) of torque. Buyers can also choose a 1.6 LPi that can run on liquified petroleum gas (LPG). The updated model features newly designed air curtains in the front bumper that marginally improve fuel efficiency.
The global Hyundai Elantra model is expected to receive similar updates later this year.
