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. For 2011, the Elantra features a powerful and very efficient engine and a choice of two 6-speed transmissions. 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.

Model Review
The Elantra is offered in two different body styles--a 4-door Elantra sedan or a 5-door Elantra Touring wagon. Both models have the same powertrain but there are some mechanical differences between the two.
