Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring is a FWD compact five door hatchback powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 138 hp and 136 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options consist of a standard 5-speed manual transmission and an optional 4-speed automatic. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 23 mpg city to 31 mpg highway. Features include 17-inch wheels, air conditioning, tilt-and-slide sunroof, tilt steering wheel, steering-wheel mounted cruise control, heated front seats, steering wheel mounted audio controls, power windows, remote keyless entry, 6-speaker sound system, and USB/auxiliary input jacks. Safety is comprised of advanced front airbags, side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, speed sensing auto door locks, and tire pressure monitoring. The Elantra Touring is backed by a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring Hatchback

Hyundai says that the Elantra Touring wagon also has more interior volume than any 5-door in its class. Ride quality and refinement are surprisingly good for the class. The Elantra Touring features 24 cubic feet of cargo space and a very efficient 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that allows the wagon to get 31 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg in the city. Standard equipment includes heated mirrors, an iPod-integrated stereo, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, stability control and a host of air bags.

What's new for 2012?

The Elantra Touring wagon carries over into 2012 with almost no changes. The Preferred Package replaces the Popular Equipment Package. A roadside assistance kit is now optional and 16-inch alloy wheels have been added to the Preferred Package. Two new colors are available: Volcanic Red and Dove White.

Model Review

The Elantra Touring is similar to, but fundamentally unique from, the Elantra sedan. Both feature a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, strut-type front suspension with a multi-link rear suspension, but the Touring features a 24-cubic-foot cargo area, expandable to more than 65 cubic feet with the seats folded to accommodate cumbersome cargo.

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

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.
