A compact sedan that's already begun to make a truly colossal splash, the all-new 2017 Hyundai Elantra storms onto the scene with a reinvigorated, eye-catching look, new and improved powertrain offerings, and a whole host of innovative technologies that are certain to impress and excite even the savviest of Twin City drivers.
Aesthetically, the 2017 Elantra packs a powerful punch right from the get-go, thanks in large part to its unabashed hexagonal grille, flanked on either side by vertical LED running lights as well as sleeker headlights than those of the outgoing model.
And while the changes to its overall shape certainly make for a more visually pleasing silhouette, even more importantly, the tweaked design of the Elantra allows for improved aero dynamism, resulting in an increase in fuel economy; according to EPA ratings, the combined fuel economy of the previous generation 2016 Elantra is 32, while the 2017 model achieves 33 combined miles per gallon.
Other areas of improvement include power and performance--the standard engine on the new Elantra is a 2.0L, 147-horsepower four-cylinder which can be paired with your choice of an advanced six-speed automatic transmission or a manual if you prefer to partake in the art of shifting your own gears. Meanwhile, greater use of high-strength steel throughout the body reduces the Elantra's body flex which in turn, makes for a more composed and responsive driving experience.
