Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

Unveiled during a late introduction, an exciting new 2011 Hyundai Elantra sedan presents a charmingly sophisticated compact car. Sold in either GLS or Limited trim in 2011, the Hyundai Elantra includes standard power windows, dual 12-volt power outlets, 60/40 split rear seats and a 172-watt, 6-speaker audio system. On 2011 Elantra Limited models, Bluetooth connectivity, heated front and rear seats as well as cruise control are loaded into the sedan. For a top-rated audio and multimedia experience, an optional 360-watt audio system includes XM NavTraffic and rear-view camera through a 7-inch touchscreen interface. Adding 10 horsepower over the 2010 vehicle, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra's smaller 1.8 liter Nu engine produces 148 horsepower. Credited to an ultra-low 0.28 drag coefficient, low-rolling resistance tires and the all-aluminum Nu engine, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra proudly boasts dramatically-improved fuel economy. With either the new 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, the 2011 Elantra delivers 29 miles per gallon city or 40 miles per gallon highway.

Benefits of Driving a 2011 Hyundai Elantra Sedan

The new Hyundai Elantra is no longer just an affordable alternative to the Honda Civic, it aims to match, and in some ways, beat it.

With either transmission option, the Elantra is capable of an amazing-for-any-class 38 mpg on the highway. The base model starts at just under $16,000 and a fully loaded Elantra tops out around $23,000.

Original Warranty  Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months
Basic	60,000	60
Drivetrain	100,000	120

Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned Warranty  Certified Pre-Owned Warranty To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points. Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer. Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include: Age/Mileage Eligibility To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers. Lease Term Certified Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less. Point Inspection These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details. Return/Exchange Program Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car. Roadside Assistance Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty. Special Financing Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers. Transferable Warranty When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect. Warranty Deductible This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
