New CarPROFILEHyundaiElantraA Promising RedesignThe new Hyundai Elantra, is the seventh all-new Hyundaito be introduced within the last two years. The AccentHatchback already introduced gave clues as to Hyundai’splan of attack with the Elantra. The strategy appears to be tooffer a car priced like a compact sedan, but with the spaceand equipment of a mid-size car. That should again be a toughproposition to pass up.These days, a new car has to be nothing less than improvedin every way, and the Elantra is aiming to be just that. Design issubjective, of course, but most would agree that the new look issmooth and contemporary.Objectively, the new Elantra’s engine remains a 2.0-litre,with more refinement and better fuel economy than before.Although final specs and model breakdown had yet to beannounced at this writing, it is safe to say that all popular convenienceand safety equipment will be available, including a fullcomplement of airbags, anti-lock brakes, leather trim, air conditioningand high-end audio. Not so long ago, the main optionon a compact sedan was automatic transmission; nowadays,people want all the bells and whistles, and the Elantra will deliver.Priced from $15,595OpenRoad driver |20
