I am going to check the owners manual but I really do not recall anything about their being air bags in the seats.
edit: grammar
The following is found on the HyundaiUSA web site:
SAFETY FEATURES GALORE.
A list of the Hyundai Elantra’s standard safety features reads like a catalog of safety technologies.
You get six airbags, of course, including two advanced front airbags,
two front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, as well as two side-curtain airbags11. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, this combination of airbags can reduce fatalities by 45%.
Then there are the four-wheel, four-channel ABS brakes, enhanced with Electronic Brake-force Distribution. Together, they seamlessly vary and adjust brake pressure to each wheel, as necessary, to provide maximum braking power and to help prevent wheel lockup during emergency maneuvers or under slippery road conditions.

Active front head restraints? Check.
Seatbelt pretensioners? Check.
LATCH child-seat anchors, energy-absorbing steering column, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System to help prevent dangerous under inflation? Check, check, and check.
About the only thing we haven’t included is an exorbitant markup for all this technology. Life may be priceless, but peace of mind needn’t be expensive.
