The Elantra is credited as one of the car models that gave South Korean manufacturer Hyundai enough credibility to go toe to toe with the likes of Ford, Volkswagen, and Nissan. These days, the Elantra itself is cross-shopped against models from the aforementioned competitors, which is why it’s not surprising that Hyundai gave it an even better refresh for 2016.
What’s New in the Elantra?
The most noticeable changes in any car refresh are the visuals, and the 2016 Hyundai Elantra has one visual change – the dual element grille with crossbar is gone. In its place now sits a set of horizontal slats that run from top to bottom. The grille is also different, as it is more angular instead of rounded, making the car itself look more aggressive. This means the 2016 model looks even more sporty and stylish compared to its previous iteration. It is sure to make heads turn wherever it cruises.
Functional Interiors
The 2016 Hyundai Elantra maintains its trademark of quality and convenience. Drivers can get to customize by adding features such as the ventilated front seats and next-gen navigation system with Siri and HD Radio, which are all optional. Standard with every Elantra release is the spacious cabin with 86 cubic feet of passenger space. You can be assured that everyone in the vehicle will be comfy throughout the trip.
The engine is also the same 2.0 liter GDI engine that boasts of 173 hp at 6,500 rpm, but it’s been slightly tweaked in order to boost the torque to 5,500 rpm from the old 4,000 rpm. This upgrade could be a big help when merging into highway traffic.
Is it Worth Getting?
The 2016 Elantra may no longer be Hyundai’s sole offering, but its history as the vehicle that put the manufacturer on the map makes it all the more competitive in terms of performance and price. You should consider getting one, while shopping around for a new car. Since it’s fairly new, you might want to drop by Hyundai dealerships near Rio Rancho, NM and sneak a peek today.
