2011 Hyundai Elantra

The 2011 Hyundai Elantra is turning heads and those that once eyed the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla when looking for a compact sedan are moving towards the 2011 Elantra. Newly redesigned on the inside and out the 2011 Hyundai Elantra is one great compact sedan.

Available as either the 4-door Elantra sedan of the 5-door Elantra Touring the 2011 Elantra is built with style and innovation in mind. The exterior design is based on the 2011 Sonata which has already proved itself in sales since its release a year ago. There is no doubt that the new Elantra will have no trouble keeping up with its older sibling.

The 2011 Elantra is built with a 1.8-Liter, 4-cylinder engine that will deliver seven percent greater horsepower than its predecessors. With its available manual or automatic transmission the Elantra will get an amazing 29 miles per gallon city and 40 miles per gallon on the highway. This standard gas mileage exceeds that of any of its competitors.


The 2011 Elantra also boasts more interior space than either the Honda Civic or the Toyota Corolla. In fact, because the 2011 Elantra has so much leg room the government classifies it as a midsize car instead of a compact; the Elantra has the most leg room in its class. It also has a wider wheelbase to give more shoulder room for both the front and rear seat passengers as well as 14.8 cubic feet of cargo space. Hyundai has also paid special attention to reduce the noise, vibration and harshness of the ride to ensure a smooth and quiet ride.

The available technology in the 2011 Elantra includes standard iPod/USB and auxiliary input jack as well as XM satellite radio. Every new Elantra comes with a three-month free trial of XM. The Limited version of the Elantra also includes electronic push button start, 7-inch navigation system, Bluetooth hands-free phone system and even a rearview camera. The Limited model also includes front and rear heated seats (a compact segment first), leather seating and a 360-watt audio system.

As far as safety goes the Hyundai Elantra is built with numerous safety features that are built to help you avoid accidents and protect you in case an accident does occur. Active safety features to prevent accidents include vehicle stability management system, electronic stability control, traction control system, anti-lock braking system, electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. All of these systems work independently as well as together to prevent accidents from happening in hazardous situations. In case of an accident the Elantra is equipped with six airbags- advanced driver and front passenger airbags with occupant classification system, driver and front passenger side-impact airbags and roof-mounted side-curtain airbags to protect the rear passengers. The 2011 Elantra is also built with front and rear crumple zones as well as front and rear bodyside reinforcements and rear dual beams.
