The Hyundai Elantra is an economic compact car with handsome styling and nice lines. It has excellent interior space and standard safety equipment.

The current generation Elantra can seat up to five and has very accommodating trunk space. It comes in two trim levels: GLS, SE, all of which use a 138-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Buyers have a choice between the standard five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmissions for each trim level.  For 2010, the SE trim receives a USB port, sport-tuned suspension, and sport shifter on the manual transmission.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The Hyundai Elantra is a small sedan, although there is a related four-door hatchback known as the Elantra Touring. The sedan is available in GLS and SE trim levels.

The base GLS car is sparsely equipped, but the optional Popular Equipment package adds a host of desirable features, including air-conditioning, cruise control and a six-speaker stereo with a CD player, USB/iPod audio jack and satellite radio. The SE has this equipment as standard. A sunroof, heated front seats and leather upholstery are also available.

Powertrains and Performance

Each Elantra is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-4 good for 138 horsepower and 136 pound-feet of torque, mated to either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. If you’re purchasing your Elantra in California or a state with California emissions standards, you’ll get a car that’s SULEV/PZEV-certified, with a 132-hp rating.

Safety

Standard safety features on all Elantra models include four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags, and active front head restraints.

Interior Design and Special Features

The look of the interior is more high-end than you’d expect, with attention paid to details like gauge illumination and build quality. There is a lot of room for storage, and both front and rear passengers are greeted with ample head-, shoulder- and legroom.
