Hyundai is a name we all love. Now, with the new Hyundai 2013 Elantra GT, you will love it even more. It is one vehicle that exemplifies how Japanese brands have been intruded by South Korean automakers. The amazing space, advance thinking and innovative thinking have made it a deserving winner of the 2012 North American Car of the Year.
It is an excellent value on money fronts. The affordability, latest designs, sporty styling and performance of Hyundai cars cannot be stressed enough. The new modern, crisp and clean lines of this model are sure to win more hearts. The little more daring cockpit than the exteriors and the hourglass of the central console happens to function correctly as a comfy knee rest. Available in eight stylish colors – silver, desert bronze, shimmering white, indigo night, black, red, blue sky metallic and gray gives you a number of choices. We took it for a spin to give you an objective report a car review that will help you to make a decision.
The first thing to catch your eyes would be the handsome styling. The moment we took her for a spin, we were impressed by the responsive handling and the smooth ride. The roomy cabin, solid build, lengthy list of safety features is going to give its contenders a tough challenge. The 148 horsepower and 39 MPG Hwy- it has been made more functional, fun and efficient. A new entry in the car is the Active Eco- it modifies the engine and transmission control to smooth out the throttle and increase fuel economy by 7%, according to Hyundai. The car comes with Driver Selectable Steering Mode (DSSM), Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS) and also spot turned suspension that offers excellent responsiveness and control. This car is a highway commuter’s dream. The driver gets to customize and control the feel of the steering from the instrumental panel itself into comfort, normal and sport.
There is also a lock-up torque converter for higher fuel economy and highway speeds. The new Elantra GT is said to be designed inspired by the natural flow of the wind and water and their effects on the elements of nature – the fluidic sculpture gives it that look. The panoramic sun roof is one feature that definitely catches the eye. The interior volume is praiseworthy and so is the cargo space.
In terms of storage also the GT has got some new features like the cooled glove compartment, a front centre console, rear-seat centre armrest with cup holders and an overhead sunglass holder. The interior has storage bins and useful cubbies, including a covered one ahead of the shift lever. The car also contains an aux jack, USB port perfect for connecting smart phones and a power point too. This coupled with the head turning styling, a fuel-efficient engine; a list of safety features and upscale options makes it one of the top picks for a compact sedan.
From leather seating surfaces to push button start auto-defogging system and more are some of the premium features. The room up front is very impressive and the seats are set well in from the door that provides an extra elbow space. The passenger volume is also quite good on this car. The GLS sedan and the GS coupe have power windows, keyless entries, locks and mirrors and air conditioning on automatic models along with cruise control and telescopic steering. The audio system offers convenient options with AM/FM/SiriusXM Satellite Radio/CD/MP3, 6 speakers and iPod®/USB and auxiliary input jacks. The 7 inch touch-screen navigation system also includes a hidden rearview camera along with phone and audio via voice recognition for phone, audio, destinations as well as for real time traffic and weather.
If you want to go ahead and make it your own, click here. But even then we would like to bring to notice a few shortcomings. If you are planning on driving on steep highway, the grade requires a downshifting to 4th and sometimes 3rd – and to keep pace in the twisty mountain roads, you have to change it down to second, which puts a little stress on the engine. The ride and handling is fine on most roads but if there is a big bump ahead it all falls apart. The suspension crashes up upwards and the car jumps up and down. Also when it hits a serious bump, the rear end skips off! If you do a lot of highway and curvy road driving, you would not make Elantra GT your first choice. The poor body control is going to put you off.
The car could be yours for $19.170 with A/C, alloy wheels, Bluetooth, cruise and heated front seats. Overall it is a good choice and will not disappoint you. The wind noise, vibration and other fatigue inducers won’t make you stop mid way. Here is the car loan calculator and see if you want to take the call.
