The 2021 Hyundai Elantra was named North American Car of the Year by a panel of automotive journalists, who will tell you it’s one of the most prestigious awards out there. The accolade gives the Elantra a much-needed boost in a dying segment.
Cars are down to about 20% of sales with SUVS and crossovers accounting for almost half the market. That’s the reason Ford pretty much has abandoned the segment with the Mustang soon to be the only car sold out of Dearborn. (Yet it won the other two NACTOY awards this year.)
