Two all-new powertrains will be available: a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder paired with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, and a 128-hp 1.4-liter turbo engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automated-manual transmission. Hyundai estimates fuel-economy numbers of 33 mpg combined for the 2.0, and 35 mpg combined for the 1.4.
Available features include adaptive headlamps, adaptive cruise control, a hands-free Smart Trunk, and a navigation system with an 8-inch touchscreen. Available safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot alert with rear-cross traffic warning and lane-change assist, and lane-keep assist.
The 2017 Hyundai Elantra is set to arrive at dealers in January 2016.
CG Says:
The mainstream compact-car class is one of the most competitive classes around, but Hyundai’s new Elantra appears to have what it takes to be a serious contender… especially if it debuts with Hyundai’s typically competitive pricing. We’d expect a four-door hatchback GT version, and perhaps a coupe body style, to join the new Elantra lineup up in the near future.
