This is the first use of Apple CarPlay in a Hyundai. The automaker initially expected CarPlay to launch on the 2015 Sonata in late 2014. CarPlay now will come to the Sonata in the first quarter. Hyundai released counterpart Android Auto compatibility on the Sonata in May 2015.
The Elantra launches with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as part of an $800 Popular Equipment Package with 7-inch touch-screen, backup camera, cruise control, heated outside mirrors and more. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on the Limited trim with a larger 8-inch screen and navigation. For 2017 Elantra pricing information, click here.
