Hyundai Elantra Introduction Peoria IL

The Hyundai Elantra is more enjoyable to drive than many of the name-brand cars in its class and there's little about it that feels cheap. In the workaday grind the Elantra is better than acceptable. It's good, and it can run with comparably equipped competitors in nearly every respect except the size of the monthly payments. There, it comes out ahead. Hyundai has made big gains in reliability and build quality, and any concerns in that regard are eased by a comprehensive warranty and roadside assistance plan. Elantra is the bargain of the class. An all-new Elantra is expected for the 2007 model year so watch for possible deals on the 2006 models.

Hyundai Elantra Introduction

Sharp handling, quick acceleration, good value.

Introduction

The Hyundai Elantra is comfortable and fun to drive. An exceptional value, it's comparable to competitors costing thousands more. Available in four-door sedan and five-door hatchback body styles, the latter offers cargo capacity and versatility.

The Elantra is one of the quickest cars in its class. It handles as well as many of its competitors and has a sporty feel. It comes with a 138-hp 2.0-liter engine with variable-valve timing and is a leader in fuel economy, earning a 27/34 mpg City/Highway from the EPA when equipped with the manual transmission.

The four-door sedan is popular, but we prefer the five-door hatchback for its practicality.

Elantra is available in base GLS and sporty GT trim and, for 2006, it's also available in an upscale Limited trim.

The Elantra's interior is nicely finished and it's roomier and more comfortable than many subcompacts, including big name brands such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. Standard equipment surpasses that offered on cars costing thousands more, and includes side airbags, designed to provide torso protection in a side impact.

Hyundai's warranty is one of the best available. The basic warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles for the original owner, with free roadside assistance throughout. The engine and transmission come with a 10-year/ 100,000-mile warranty, and Hyundai warrants Elantra against rust-through for five years or 100,000 miles.
