The 2016 Hyundai Elantra: For Rio Rancho Drivers Who Want to Look Good on the Road

Hyundai is a South Korean car manufacturing company with a growing market and a growing reputation. However, that reputation didn’t include sedans, mainly because Hyundai Motor America president and CEO Dave Zuchowski thought it best to focus the brand on trucks. Fortunately, the brand didn’t cease developing its other models, and today its engineers came up with a sedan that’s to be reckoned with: the Hyundai Elantra.

The Elantra rose from the dredges to become one of America’s most beloved sedans. The model was Hyundai’s number one selling model in 2015, selling a total of 240,000 units in that year alone. The company aims to exceed or at least replicate that achievement with the 2016 model, and that goal looks achievable, considering the new Elantra looks good enough to make a styling statement to send the compact-sedan segment chasing its heels.

But beyond its sleek styling lies a much improved body structure that raises the vehicle’s safety stature by more than a few notches. This time around, Hyundai decided to glue several pieces of the car together, following the technique’s success in aerospace technology to strengthen modern aircraft. The new Elantra has a whopping 394 feet of adhesive bead, resulting in a body frame that protects its occupants from crashes better than ever.

Thanks to the 2016 Elantra’s structurally enhanced body, the vehicle was able to earn the top five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). See how the vehicle holds up to your close scrutiny by visiting a Rio Rancho Hyundai dealer near you.
