2016 Hyundai Elantra Active REVIEW | No Surprises, Just Solid Value
THE ELANTRA IS NOT THE STRONGEST SELLER IN HYUNDAI’S TWO-PRONGED SMALL CAR RANGE, BUT THAT’S NO DISCREDIT TO ITS CAPABILITIES.
In Australia, the i30 hatchback is Hyundai’s shining light. But globally the Elantra is the stronger seller.
With a generously proportioned interior and all-important smartphone connectivity, the Elantra should do well here too.
This new model is certainly better-styled, better value - and a better car - than its predecessor.
Vehicle Style: Small sedan
Price: $ 23,790 (plus on-roads)
Engine/trans: 112kW/192Nm 2.0 4cyl petrol | 6sp automatic
Fuel Economy Claimed: 7.2 l/100km | Tested: 8.4 l/100km
OVERVIEW
While not priced in the basement for small sedans, the $23,790 Hyundai Elantra automatic has positioned itself to be all about value, and not just driveaway deals.
There’s a more highly-specced and more expensive Elite available also, but the Active is hardly a bare-bones base model.
Thanks to crucial inclusions, like the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible 7.0-inch touchscreen, there is quite a bit of technology packed in behind that price.
