The new Elantra, made ​​on the platform of i30, has, however, sufficient arguments to be one of the animators segment saloons C – segment, where we find models like the Citroen C-Elysee, the Seat Leon, Skoda and Fiat Kind.

4.57 meters and a spacious interior

If you look at the Disano, main argument purchase, the new Elantra maintains the style of the latest products of the Korean company, with hexagonal grille and distinctive. Its length of 4.57 meters semi mixed with a coupe silhouette, with a very laid back are a striking appearance in design. A body, which, however, does not benefit from a hatchback trunk, which would round cargo versatility. The interior offers outstanding space behind, with legroom and the very considerable height ceiling.

Space for occupants in the second row of the Hyundai Elantra is outstanding; undoubtedly one of his virtues.

The driving experience is enhanced by the new suspensions, the brake system or the three driving modes (Eco, Normal and Sport) that can act on engine performance, transmission or hardness of the direction.

During the tour we made ​​during the presentation he showed great aplomb thanks to a perfectly tuned chassis.
