The Elantra Limited trim level is priced at $23,185. Available for that trim level is the Limited Ultimate package with features such as an integrated memory system for the driver sear and outside mirrors, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and more.  

All prices exclude freight charges ($835).
