2012 Hyundai Elantra The high praises the 2011 Hyundai Elantra received carry over into the 2012 model year. The Elantra is a good value, but no reviewers label the Elantra fun-to-drive like the Mazda3 or Honda Fit. But they do say the 2012 Hyundai Elantra makes a great daily driver. Edmunds agrees, and says, Thanks to head-turning styling, a fuel-efficient engine and a long list of standard safety features and upscale options, the 2012 Hyundai Elantra is a top pick for a small sedan.
The Kia Forte, however, challenges the Elantra in terms of standard interior features and price. The base sedan starts at about $15,000, compared to the Elantra’s nearly $16,500 base price, and has satellite radio, USB and auxiliary input jacks, Bluetooth and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. Differences between the GLS and Limited start with the basics, such as standard 15-inch wheels on the GLS, and 17-inch wheels on the Limited. The Limited also comes standard with an automatic transmission.
2012 Hyundai Elantra, Other standard features on the Limited include solar control glass, a windshield shade band, fog lamps, air conditioning, one-touch driver's window up, telescoping steering wheel, leather seats, sliding center armrest, Bluetooth, cruise control, steering-wheel-mounted radio controls, dual illuminated vanity mirrors, heated front and rear seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob and an illuminated ignition. For those looking to add a little extra, Hyundai has a few packages to choose from: GLS M/T Popular Equipment Package, GLS Preferred Equipment Package and GLS Navigation package round out the choices for the base model.
The Popular Equipment Package adds air conditioning, cruise control, telescopic wheel, solar glass, windshield band and 16-inch steel wheels for $1,250. 2012 Hyundai Elantra The Navigation Package, which requires the Preferred Package, adds a 7-inch screen and navigation system, a rearview camera, a 360-watt stereo with external amplifier and automatic headlamps.
Automakers have been racing to produce small cars that get great gas mileage using conventional engines, and Hyundai has succeeded on that front with the 2011 Elantra, which is powered by a new 148-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder that gets an EPA-estimated 29/40 mpg city/highway with either the manual or automatic transmission.
2012 Hyundai Elantra,There's no denying the Elantra is a modestly powered car, but so are most of its competitors, including the Civic, Cruze and Toyota Corolla. We were, in fact, hustling the car pretty aggressively. Contributing to the Elantra's thrifty fuel use and good drivability is its optional six-speed automatic, which is a new Hyundai-developed transmission
