2016 Hyundai Elantra REVIEW | An Appealing Package For Your Sensible Side
HYUNDAI'S ELANTRA IS THE BRAND'S BIGGEST SELLER WORLDWIDE. However, thanks to Hyundai Australia’s two-pronged small car range, it plays second fiddle here to the more popular i30 hatch.
The Elantra is still an important model though. So, without a revolutionary change, Hyundai has tweaked the formula, given the new Elantra sedan styling inspired by the larger Sonata, and adjusted the line-up to send it into battle against the Corolla and Mazda3 sedans.

OVERVIEW
From four models previously, down to just two (with a third arriving later this year) the Hyundai Elantra launches with the entry-level Active, and mid-spec Elite.
Both sedans, and both featuring a slightly larger engine than before - a 2.0 litre in place of the previous 1.8 litre - but with only moderate power and torque gains.
Both also come stacked to the brim with standard features like Apple CarPlay (and an update to Android Auto later this year), a reversing camera, and alloy wheels.
