Do Hyundai Elantras come with a spare tire?

I really love how compact and stylish the recent Hyundai Elantras are. My only concern is if it has a spare tire since it’s such a small car. Do Elantras come with a spare tire?

The newest Hyundai Elantras do not come with a spare tire. This is a recent trend in the auto industry in an attempt to decrease the car weight and improve fuel efficiency—as well as minimize manufacturing costs.
If you’re adamant about having a spare tire, spare tire kits are available for purchase and should fit in your trunk. These kits will come with the necessary tools to change the tire, including a jack, jack lift handle, and lug nut wrench.
Here are some tips to ensure you’re good to go if you get a flat:
  • Practice installing the spare tire so you are familiar with the process
  • Inspect the spare regularly—pump it up if needed
  • Keep the necessary tools in the car for a tire change
When you use the spare tire, be sure to get your original tire replaced as soon as possible. The spare is not built for extended use and can wear out quickly. Once you replace your flat tire, you may also need to replace the spare.
