What's New in the 2018 Hyundai Elantra?
The Elantra GT has been completely redesigned for 2018. Riding on the same platform as the European Hyundai i30, the Elantra GT gets a big boost in features, rigidity, performance and quality, all while retaining its low price and excellent standard warranty.
Which Elantra is the Best?
Seriously, if you can live without the advanced driver-assist features offered only on the Sport, we think the base Elantra GT with the automatic transmission and Style package get you a very nicely equipped car with a few additional driver-safety assists for well under $24,000.
