The fifth-generation Hyundai Elantra comes in Coupe and Sedan forms. The Coupe suits you if styling takes priority, while the Sedan makes regular rear-seat access easier. Transmission and equipment choices also shape its everyday appeal.
Hyundai Elantra engine options include gasoline powertrains such as the Coupe’s 1.6 AT, 1.6 MT and 1.8 AT, all with front-wheel drive. The automatic versions reduce your workload in stop-start traffic, while the manual gives you direct control over gear selection. These examples represent only part of the generation’s range.
Hyundai Elantra trim levels include Comfort and Optima for the gasoline, front-wheel-drive 1.6 AT Sedan. These names identify equipment configurations within the same technical version. When choosing between them, compare the individual car’s comfort, convenience and safety features; the engine and transmission designation alone does not tell you what equipment is fitted.
