28 inches on the driver's side and 14 inches on the passenger's side.

Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2012–2016 Hyundai Elantra?

Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact.

What wiper connector does a 2012–2016 Hyundai Elantra use?

Hook-style arms; sizes consistent across the generation including Coupe and GT. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
