How much does a used Hyundai Elantra cost in Singapore?

Most used Hyundai Elantra on the market are around 8 years old, asking roughly S$32k–S$38k (typically about S$35k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.

Is the Hyundai Elantra reliable?

In our read, the Hyundai Elantra scores 75 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.

What should I expect to pay for a used Hyundai Elantra with a given mileage?

It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.

Where do these Hyundai Elantra figures come from?

They're worked out from current used-Hyundai Elantra listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.

Price range: P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment: MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability: High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Tap any dot on the chart to see its scores.

Brand reliability: Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength: 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set: Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants: The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict

Same car as the Hyundai Avante 6th gen AD — JDM/SG-market name is 'Avante', global-market name is 'Elantra'. All checks from the Avante AD entry carry over: 2019-2020 Nu 2.0 MPI piston-oil-ring recall (May-2021 Hyundai-issued, fire-risk), heavy PHV exposure in SG. The 1.6L Nu sidesteps the headline 2.0L recall; the 1.6L Smartstream IVT in late builds is the most mature pairing.

Asking: S$25k–37k
Median: S$32k
Decay: 32.8%/yr

What's good

1.6L Nu non-recalled trim with no PHV history — sidesteps the headline 2.0L MPI recall. Same logic as the Avante 6th-gen entry; a private-use 1.6 IVT is the highest-confidence pick on this gen.
2.0L MPI with the May 2021 piston-oil-ring recall already done — the recall is real and Hyundai-issued. Closed paperwork converts the headline fire-risk flag to a non-issue. Same as Avante AD verdict.

What to watch

2019-2020 2.0L MPI with the fire-risk recall still open — the recall is a piston-oil-ring fire-risk. Walking away from a car without closed paperwork is the rational default; same flag as the Avante AD.
Heavy-PHV use (Grab / Gojek) regardless of mileage — the AD-gen Avante / Elantra dominates SG ride-hail. Rear suspension bushings + seat wear + interior front-load on PHV-history cars beyond what the odometer suggests.
