Test Drive the 2026 Hyundai Elantra at Webb Hyundai Merrillville on 81st Ave

Webb Hyundai Merrillville is at 1000 W 81st Ave — on the US-30 corridor at the heart of Merrillville’s auto row. As the NWI Best of the Region dealer for 2026, we make the test drive experience for Crown Point, Valparaiso, and Portage buyers straightforward and worthwhile.

Getting to Webb Hyundai Merrillville

From I-65: take the US-30 exit and drive east. Turn south on Broadway, then east on 81st Ave. Webb Hyundai Merrillville is on 81st Ave, a short drive from the I-65/US-30 interchange. From Crown Point: US-30 west to Merrillville, or take 109th Street north to 81st Ave. From Valparaiso: US-30 west directly into Merrillville — the dealership is on 81st Ave, just north of the US-30 corridor. From Portage: US-6 west to Broadway, then south to 81st Ave.

The Test Drive Route

The 81st Ave and US-30 area provides a natural test drive environment: surface street driving at posted speeds through commercial zones, quick stops at intersections, and access to I-65 for a brief highway evaluation. You will experience the Elantra’s smooth CVT behavior in stop-and-go, its cabin composure at highway speed, and the infotainment responsiveness in a typical NWI driving context.

What to Try During the Drive

Connect your phone to wireless CarPlay or Android Auto before leaving the lot — it takes 30 seconds and lets you evaluate the system in real conditions. Ask the team to demonstrate the Hyundai SmartSense systems in the parking lot before you pull out: the forward collision system demonstration is brief and immediately illustrates how the technology responds. For Hybrid test drives, pay attention to the transition between electric and engine power — it is seamless on the 2026 Elantra Hybrid.

Appointments and Walk-Ins

Walk-in test drives are welcome at Webb Hyundai Merrillville any day of the week. Calling ahead at (219) 736-2277 ensures the specific Elantra variant you want to drive — standard, Hybrid, or N Line — is confirmed available and staged for your visit. As the NWI Best of the Region dealer, we staff appropriately to minimize waiting.
