Every Hyundai Elantra GT generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2003–2004 | 177.2″ | 67.7″ | 56.3″ | 102.8″ | 2,789 lb |
| 2013–2017 | 168.9″ | 70.1″ | 57.1″ | 103.9″ | 2,855 lb |
| 2018–2020 | 171.7″ | 70.1″ | 56.3″ | 104.3″ | 3,005 lb |
Elantra GT year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 10 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.

Will a Elantra GT fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 14.3 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 14.3 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 5.8 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 691 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 70.1″ | 69.7″ | +0.4″ |
| Wheelbase | 104.3″ | 101.6″ | +2.7″ |
| Curb weight | 3,005 lb | 3,071 lb | -66 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
