Giving the Works

Loaded with features, would this sixth generation Elantra be able to go shoulder-to shoulder with the segment's best?

Cheap feeling plastic switches

cons
too much brake travel.

The hexagonal “shark’s mouth” front grill takes some time getting used to, and you’d easily notice the new “C” shaped daytime running lights, a feature that is still relatively new to this segment of cars. Additional chrome accents dot the body of the new car, giving it a more upmarket look. Fog lamps are sited in the wind cheating “L” shaped wheel air curtains at the far corners of the front bumper, creating a sporty looking front end.

Though retaining the same wheelbase as the previous model, there is an overall increase in the length, width and height of the new car. While the previous car sported a 420 litre boot, we now have 458 litres. The Elite trim comes equipped with 205/55 R16 tyres, and 4-wheel disc brakes. There is one thing to note, you can hardly find a car these days with a full-sized spare tyre. Hyundai has gone one further, their cars come equipped with a full-sized spare mounted on an alloy. Auto-folding wing mirrors retain their side indicator lights.
