You can easily pass other cars on the highway in
the new Hyundai Elantra. It has plenty of zip, responsive steering, and solid
braking that make it a joy to drive on twisty roads. The Elantra's finely tuned
suspension provides a soft, compliant ride on paved streets. There are three
engine options in the Elantra lineup, thanks to the N-Line and Hybrid models,
so you can have one with the athleticism or fuel economy you prefer,
including:
- Base: 147-horsepower/132 pound-feet of
torque four-cylinder motor
- Available: Hybrid 139-horsepower/125 pound-feet of
torque four-cylinder engine
- Available: Turbocharged 276-horsepower/289
pound-feet of torque four-cylinder motor
All Elantra models are front-wheel drive. When
properly equipped, the Elantra gets 33 mpg in the city and 42 mpg on the
highway. The new N Line model comes with the 276-horsepower engine and a six-speed
manual or an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for swifter
acceleration.
