Fresh off its JD Power Initial QUality Study victory, the Hyundai Elantra Sedan is updated for 2015 with some refined and classy LED additions front and rear, plus a tech suite upgrade inside.
The Elantra’s fluidic sculpture design of the Elantra is still one of the best in the compact segment – along with the Mazda3 and Dodge Dart as perhaps the other two coolest compact sedans available.
Making a small sedan sporty, low and wide on the road is not an easy thing. Just take a look at the Ford Focus or Fiesta sedans for evidence of the unpleasant sedan styles that must be retrofitted over a Euro hatchback platform.
The Elantra Sedan now offers a sporty 2.0-liter engine upgrade – all of which makes the 2015 Elantra a heck of a package for buyers wanting the latest style and tech outside, inside and under the hood.
The desirable Elantra Sport slides in between the base SE and the loaded Limited – bringing dark wheels and a rear spoiler to boot!
