2017 HYUNDAI Elantra GT 1.6L 7AT FWD (201 HP)

Vehicle Overview

With the first generation of Elantra GT released in 2012, 5 years after, Hyundai redesigns it and reveals the 2nd generation.

The Elantra GT was a smart hatchback that offered more cargo space than a small sedan. So instead of going for a crossover, the choice of getting the Elantra GT would have been quite as good.

The Elantra GT was powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produced 173 hp, mated with a 6-speed manual transmission. The automatic transmission was optional and at an extra cost of around $1,000.

The small 4-door hatchback was available in a single trim level that could be improved with the two available extra packages.

The standard features included were 16-inch steel wheels, heated mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, a cooled glovebox, Bluetooth connectivity and a 6-speaker sounds system. Overall, the standard version offered great features that could be enough for the daily driving.

One of the available packages was the Value Edition designed to add more luxury overall feel. The package included 17-inch alloys, a tweaked suspension, automatic headlights, foglight, keyless ignition and entry, along with leather upholstery and heated front seats.

The Tech package included a 7-inch screen, a rearview camera, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated from seats, integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlat, as well as dual-zone automatic climate control and a navigation system.
