The 2017 Hyundai Elantra has transformed into something completely brand new this year. With a very chic and elegant interior and new tech features inside, the Elantra is surely a head-turning sedan.
Pros and Features. The all-new Elantra has a notable, comfortable and quiet cabin. This is most noticeable, especially at highway speeds. It now packs a lot of added technology and safety features. It also has a very thoughtfully designed and very classy interior.
Cons. The base engine has very underwhelming performance. The steering also requires some getting used to. Additionally, the dual-clutch transmission feels shaky during slow-speed acceleration.
What's New? This year's model saw a complete redesign. It comes with fresh styling, three new engine styles, and a new seven-speed dual clutch transmission. It also has upscale interior and a wide array of new tech offerings.
