For 2011 Hyundai Elantra is completely redesigned, with an attractive design, new features, a powerful 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and new gearbox six-speed.

What is the life story of Cinderella and the Hyundai Elantra have in common? More than you think. You see, for years some people have one of them a second thought, as they worked away from the shadows, waiting for their chance to shine.

For the completely redesigned sedan 2011 Hyundai Elantra is the present moment. Ditching its rags like Cinderella, scouring out the Elantra frumpy often refer to a different car, very pleasant to coup for many car buyers. Its stylish new can be a sparkling blue dress with a statuesque blonde, but it is sure to turn some heads.

Conveniently, this new Elantra is more than a pretty face. This dolled-up on the new Elantra sports a new 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine combines with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Unlike the Chevrolet Cruze Eco Volkswagen Jetta TDI or that require you to pay more for their high consumption of special fuel, this new engine allows for a simple change Elantra impressive EPA estimated 40 mpg on the highway.

Although this new Elantra is always competition in the compact segment, the size of the cabin (like many of its competitors) has increased to the point that the EPA now considered a midsize car in terms of interior volume. It is the inside can also be loaded with premium features offered on some cars even legitimate means, not to mention the compact: keyless entry / ignition, a backup camera and heated rear seats.

Of course, this new 2011 Hyundai Elantra comes to the Royal Ballet, only to find a dance floor full of interesting competitors. In addition to perennial favorites like the Honda Civic and Mazda 3, a compact sedan buyers want to add new Cruze, the Jetta and the Ford Focus 2012 on their lists. But, all things considered, we think that the new Elantra is a combination of distinctive styling, fuel economy, spacious interior and low price could help it become the ball fine.

Interior Design and Special Features

Elantra interior features a curved center console and air conditioning and style to give a little something extra. The design is attractive and materials, but not the best in its class, at least for a look full of them. Despite the hat deep interior feels bright and spacious - front height is a lot of 6-footers and the steering wheel is a bit 'smaller in diameter than usual, which increases the feeling of space in front. The rear bench is great for the kids, and even many adults, even if the principles in finding a good room with the vertical leg and a lack of free rec.

The Elantra has a large trunk at 14.8 cubic feet of cargo space, a generous number of this segment.

Driving Impressions

While the 2011 Hyundai Elantra is not as exciting to drive as it is to look at, it is certainly not the pumpkin. The new 1.8-liter engine has plenty of PPE for everyday driving, and changing six-speed automatic downshifts smoothly and easily. Engine gets noisy at high speeds, however.

As for handling, in fact a combination of a rigid body structure and many more well tuned suspension made the new Elantra fun to drive. The car is stable and planted, with the roll when cornering relatively small - qualities that result in an additional sense of confidence behind the wheel. Comments by the new electric power steering seems a little artificial, but it is always fast and accurate.

In the daily conduct of the ride quality is on the business side, but is well damped and, for most potential buyers, should be far wrong. The cabin is relatively quiet with little wind noise in itself, but it is enough road noise to remind you that the Elantra compact car is still an economy sedan that appears to be high dollar.

Price MSRP from $14,945
