Hyundai Elantra Ground Clearance by Year

The Hyundai Elantra’s listed ground clearance ranges from 5.3 to 5.5 inches across the catalog years covered. Ground clearance is the space between the road and the vehicle’s lowest point, so the range gives a quick view of how much that measurement varies among the listed Elantras.

The figures span 1999 through 2023, but the available facts do not identify a clearance for each individual year or explain which years account for the difference. They also do not specify changes by trim or engine, so the range should not be treated as the rating for every configuration. For a specific Elantra, confirm its ground clearance on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.

Ground clearance can matter when considering steep driveways, uneven roads, or obstacles, but this range alone does not establish how a particular vehicle will handle them. Check the documentation for the vehicle’s year and configuration if you need an exact figure.
