1. Available in Three Models
The Hyundai Elantra is available in three grades: Active, Elite, and Premium and is able to compete with the best as a small car with big features. Every model includes standard features such as cruise control, four-speaker audio with CD player and Bluetooth connectivity, and an adjustable steering wheel.
The Elite model adds electric folding side mirrors, a reversing camera and satellite navigation along with 16-inch alloy wheels, keyless auto-entry with start button, a luggage net and illuminated vanity mirrors. Additionally, the Premium model features rear-seat air vents and projector HID xenon headlights, with 17-inch alloy wheels, an electric sun roof, and leather appointed seats.

3. Interior Features
The inside of the Hyundai Elantra is as impressive as the exterior. Compared to the rest of the competition, in the small to medium sized vehicles market, the Hyundai Elantra is surprisingly spacious and neatly packaged. All three models offer plenty of rear legroom and a comfortable bench. The trunk provides a sizeable 420-litre boot with a 60:40 split backrest standard. To keep the ingenuity at the top of the line, the Hyundai Elantra also features a glove box connected to the air conditioning to keep any beverage or snack chilled.
