Upgrade Your Lifestyle with the New Hyundai Elantra

At a time when many automakers have stopped producing sedans for the North American market, Hyundai continues to keep this market segment active and exciting with the Elantra, a compact sedan packed with impressive features and technology. The new Hyundai Elantra is one of the most attractive value propositions available to car shoppers near Navasota; if you are in the market for an affordable sedan for daily driving, here’s what you need to know about the current Elantra lineup.

Your Choice of Powertrain Packages

The new Hyundai Elantra is available with two engine options for your Hempstead, TX commutes. There’s a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower while delivering 132 pound-feet of torque. For the ultimate in fuel economy, the Elantra Hybrid powertrain combines a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to generate 195 pound-feet of torque on a front-wheel drive system. Both powertrains pair with the new Hyundai Smartstream Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), which features dual-clutch action.

If you want to maximize your fuel economy without sacrificing performance, consider the EPA-estimated 56 mpg that the Elantra hybrid can deliver when driving down the highway to College Station. When you put the Hyundai drive-select system in Smart mode, your hybrid fuel efficiency increases through advanced throttle control without sacrificing the 12.5:1 compression ratio.

Modern Styling Inside and Out

The new Elantra’s exterior looks dominated by Hyundai’s “Parametric Dynamics” design, characterized by sharp lines, geometric shapes, and a low, wide stance. The roofline slopes towards the rear to create a sporty silhouette that makes the car look streamlined and slightly futuristic while driving around Giddings. Other nice details include jewel-shaped headlights and a geometric arrangement of taillights stretching across the rear width.

Once you step inside the new Hyundai Elantra and get behind the wheel, you will immediately notice the redesigned driver-centric cockpit. The dashboard appears angled towards you to put the controls within easy reach. You have the option to select a dual-screen setup of a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen. Despite its compact chassis, the Elantra is surprisingly spacious and comfortable for all occupants; you and three adult passengers can enjoy plenty of headroom and legroom while cruising to Bryan, TX. Solar glass and automatic climate controls are available on higher trims.

Technology

Dual USB ports for charging and connectivity are available in the front and rear of the cabin. If you choose the Elantra Convenience Package, the added features will include access to the Hyundai Bluelink system; this amenity gives you a wireless charging pad, Wi-Fi hotspot, integrated satellite navigation, remote entry, and remote ignition with your smartphone. You can synchronize useful apps through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as you make your way to Sealy, TX.

The six-speaker factory stereo system features HD radio sound, but you can improve your audio experience with the eight-speaker Bose system, which delivers concert-quality sound through an amplified subwoofer. Higher trim levels let you stream music and podcasts wirelessly. An optional SiriusXM satellite radio subscription is available for all Elantra trims.

Some of the advanced safety features in the new Elantra include lane-keeping assistance, blind spot alerts, pedestrian detection, automatic braking when collisions are imminent, and cross-traffic notifications. The Convenience Package upgrades safety with a parking assistance system, smart cruise control, stop-and-go assistance, and a surround-view camera.
