Whether it's finding a parking space or navigating city driving, your neighbors at Phil Gilbert Hyundai understand that a smaller vehicle can come in handy.

Hyundai Accent vs. Hyundai Elantra
Considered a small car, the 2018 Hyundai Elantra, which is available in three models, is a visionary take on the classic sedan. The Hyundai Elantra is sleekly designed and offers superior performance and handling. Powering the Hyundai Elantra are two different engines:
• Nu 2.0-litre 16-valve engine with D-CVVT that produces 112 kW of max power at 6,200 rpm and 192 Nm of torque at 4,700 rpm.
• Gamma 1.6-litre T-GDi 16-valve DOHC engine that puts out 150 kW of max power at 6,000 rpm and 265 Nm of torque at 1,500-4,500 rpm.
Depending on which engine you pick, drivers get a choice of a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic transmission with lock up torque converter, or 7-speed DCT. These all help you get fuel consumption as good as 7.1 L/100Km urban and 5.6 L/100km extra urban. When it comes to safety the 2018 Hyundai Elantra handles thanks to a host of active and passive safety features such as ABS, a Brake Assist System, rear view camera with display integrated into a 7.0-inch monitor, side curtain SRS airbags, and ISOFIX.
As with all Hyundai vehicles available from Phil Gilbert Hyundai, the Hyundai Elantra offers today's leading hi-tech and comfort features including available Smart Bootlid, trip computer, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and rain sensing wipers. To keep you comfortable there is dual climate control and an optional premium leather interior.
