The front blades on most Hyundai Elantra models are typically 26 inches on the driver’s side and 16 inches on the passenger’s side. In the United States, Elantra sedans generally do not come with a rear wiper, though some regional variants or hatchback-focused models may differ. Always verify your exact year and market to be sure.
Typical front wiper sizes for the Hyundai Elantra
The most common configuration for recent Elantra generations is a 26-inch driver-side blade paired with a 16-inch passenger-side blade. This pairing covers the majority of US-spec Elantras from the mid-2000s to the present, though there can be exceptions based on year or regional model variants.
- Driver-side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 16 inches
In practice, these sizes fit the vast majority of current and recent Elantra models. If your vehicle falls outside the most common generation range or is an export variant, sizes may differ slightly, so it’s best to confirm with your exact model year.
Rear wipers and regional variations
On the Hyundai Elantra sedan sold in the United States, a rear wiper is not standard. Some other markets, or non-sedan body styles such as a hatchback variant, may use a rear blade, but those sizes are not the norm for US-spec Elantra sedans.
- Rear wiper presence: Generally not present on US Elantra sedans
- Regional or model variants (e.g., hatchback or non-US versions): rear wiper sizes commonly range around 10–12 inches
If you own a non-US model or a variant with a rear wiper, verify the exact size from the manual or parts catalog, as it can vary by market and year.
Note on regional differences and model variants
Variations do exist between markets, body styles, and model years. Always cross-check with the official documentation or a parts lookup tool for your specific Elantra configuration to avoid purchasing the wrong blades.
How to verify the correct size for your specific car
Because blade sizes can differ by year and market, use a quick verification process to ensure you buy the right wipers.
- Check the owner's manual for the recommended blade sizes.
- Look at the driver’s door jamb or inside edge of the windshield for a label showing blade lengths or replacement references.
- Use Hyundai’s official parts catalog or a reputable retailer by entering your year, model, and trim (or your VIN) to retrieve exact sizes.
Confirming the exact size through one of these methods will prevent buying the wrong blades and ensure proper fit and performance.
Summary
For most Hyundai Elantra models, plan on front wipers sized 26 inches (driver side) and 16 inches (passenger side). Rear wipers are not standard on US sedans, though regional variants may differ. Always confirm the exact sizes for your year and market using the manual, door jamb stickers, or an official parts lookup to ensure accuracy.
