2012 hyundai elantra review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. This latest design is modern and stylish, with crisp, clean lines. The cabin is roomy and attractive. we found the elantra enjoyable to drive. It has a nice balance of smooth ride and responsive handling. The government numbers are unchanged, however. Also, the steering has been recalibrated on 2012 elantra models for better on-center feel, and the horn has been upgraded. Like other compacts, elantra is front-wheel drive. Its relative light weight, less than 2,900 pounds, helps the elantra with acceleration performance, braking performance, handling and fuel economy. fuel economy is an epa-estimated 28/38 mpg city/highway with either transmission. That's better than the ford focus (26/36 mpg), chevrolet cruze (26/36 mpg), or honda civic (28/36 mpg). It compares favorably to the super-efficient focus sfe (28/40), cruze eco (28/42), and civic hf (29/41) models. Hyundai says its elantra pzev model (that's california-speak for partial zero emissions vehicle) is as clean as many hybrid electric vehicles, though power from the pzev is slightly less. Hyundai claims a range of up to 500 miles. inside, elantra is roomy, especially by compact standards. Its interior measurements are comparable to those of a small midsize car. There's plenty of headroom and legroom for tall drivers. Once inside, the back seat is tolerable for tall passengers, making this a great car for college students, though the sedan's fastback roof doesn't offer the rear-seat headroom of a hatchback. The gls preferred package 600) upgrades to alloy wheels, steering wheel audio controls, fog lights, bluetooth hands-free phone system with voice recognition, upgraded interior trim, sliding center armrest, illuminated vanity mirrors with driver extension and illuminated ignition. elantra limited 20,445) comes only with the automatic transmission and includes leather upholstery with heated front and rear seats, air conditioning, power moonroof, 215/45hr17 tires with 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, leather-wrapped wheel and shift knob, mirror-imbedded turn signals, black chrome grille, solar glass, minor cabin upgrades, and most of the gls preferred content. The limited technology package 2,100) adds navigation with 7-inch screen, rearview camera, 360-watt premium audio, automatic headlights, proximity key for key-in-pocket operation. safety features that come standard include front, front-side and side-curtain airbags, and electronic stability control with vehicle stability control, antilock brakes, brake assist, and traction control. Most of the rest of the class looks dated by comparison. The elantra appears to have the sleekest, highest tail in its class and looks faster because of it. It's currently the most distinctive shape in this segment, rivaled only by the 2012 ford focus and honda civic. viewed from the front, the hexagonal grille presents a more sinister smile than that of the mazda 3, more eager to play, a dustbuster with attitude. The headlight housings wrap into the fenders, the trailing edge back as far as the centerline of the front wheels. The crease that runs a rising arc from the front wheel, through the door handles and over the rear-wheel openings into the tail lights mirrors the shape of the old triumph tr7 and tr8 sports cars. The tail lights are long, wavy wraparound fixtures echoing the curves that lead in to the rear bumper and promote airflow to help keep the lights clean; on a dirty road surface the license plate should be the first part shrouded in muck. elantra limited models can be distinguished by their larger alloy wheels, fog lights, and mirror-mounted signal repeaters. We think the nice interior is part of the value proposition offered by the elantra. It has neither hint of cheapness nor pretense of luxury. heated rear seats come standard on the elantra limited model, along with leather upholstery and faux leather door panels all perforated in a wave pattern. Elantra gls models use cloth upholstery. All the elantra seats are the same construction, however. The headliner employs a mix of material that includes volcanic rock to an interesting effect more attractive than fuzzy cardboard or plastic. We were pleasantly surprised to find the center ac vents were color-matched to the surrounding trim, not always the case, even on more expensive cars. room up front is very good and the seats are set well in from the doors for extra elbow space. With the front seats left in place they squeezed under the low door opening into the back, when both found sufficient knee and toe space while one could sit upright without head against the headliner as the other was. It's worth noting the least expensive model does not include a telescoping steering column, which aids comfort and driver awareness. The rear seats are also comfortable, the center floor nearly flat and the center seat higher but well padded. analog road and engine speed complement digital fuel and temperature, bathed in blue at night. Most steering wheels have redundant control options and on cars so equipped telephone buttons for hands-on operation. Radio or navigation/audio atop the center stack was easy to work and see in sunlight, though occasionally we'd stumble upon some slightly odd logic like the low-frequency (bass) adjustment on top and the high-frequency (treble) adjustment on the bottom; alphabetical isn't what we're accustomed to.
