Pros and cons*
Pros
Great ergonomics, extremely stylish, decent fuel economy, affordable price, generous warranty and numerous standard features are the many attractive drawing cards of this sedan.
Cons
We can criticize its low rear-seat headroom, rear torsion-bar suspension that limits handling, a feeble engine, ordinary fit and finish, vague steering and soft suspension that is tuned towards comfort.
Price
The manual transmission Elantra L Sedan starts at $15,949.
The automatic transmission version has a MSRP of $17,199.
The GL has a base price of $18,349. An extra $1,250 is required for the automatic transmission.
The manual transmission GLS has a starting price of $20,049 ($21,229 for the automatic).
The Limited automatic starts at $ 3,299.
The Limited automatic with Navigation has a starting price of $25,299.
Fuel Economy
When equipped with the manual transmission, the Elantra consumes 7.1 L/100 km city. The automatic will burn 0.1 L/100 km more fuel.
The Elantra consumes 5.2 L/100 km highway, no matter which transmission is selected. Combined ratings are in the 6.3 L/100 km range.
Exterior Styling
The 2013 Elantra distinguishes itself from the rest of the compact field. Its fluid, clean design is counterbalanced by a sporty, racy look. The wraparound tail lights and muscular rear end add to the overall elegance of this unique sedan.
Drivetrain
Its 1.8 litre 4-cylinder engine produces 148 hp and 131 lb-ft torque.
Both manual and automatic transmission choices are of the 6-speed variety.
Cargo Capacity
The 2013 Hyundai Elantra has 420 litres of available trunk space, which is more than most of its rivals.
Safety
Six airbags and a variety of active safety systems protect the occupants in this sedan.
Comparable Models
