Overview

Canadians increasingly demand more compact and efficient designs from their vehicles. Hyundai designers have responded by paying close attention and taking the time to get the Elantra right. The new Elantra has evolved into the perfect solution to any compact buyer's needs. One might expect a compact car to come with a compact engine. Not so. The Elantra's high-spirited 138 horsepower, inline 4-cylinder, DOHC engine benefits from the latest technologies. The Elantra is also a lot of fun to drive, whether you prefer its 5-speed manual transmission or available 4-speed automatic with overdrive (standard on GLS and Limited). So, consider the Elantra's class-leading interior space, standard safety features, responsive handling, refined ride, and superior build quality. Redefining the category on all counts, and reflecting a new attitude, the Elantra boasts many of the comforts of a larger car while never compromising the practicality of its compact size.
