Model History
2013-2017
2013 Redesign Year

The Starting from 2014, the Elantra GT is powered by a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 25 more horsepower than the previous 1.8-liter. Transmission choices are either a 6-speed manual, or 6-speed automatic. The Elantra GT combines decent fuel economy with user-friendliness and a relatively spacious interior. The GT hatchback is stylish and competent enough but not a standout. It has a stiffer ride than the sedan.


2018-
Current Generation

The Hyundai Elantra GT is redesigned for 2018 and quite different from its sedan counterpart. It offers an attractive, European-influenced design, an uncluttered interior, and nimble handling. Its ride comfort is a bit stiff, and the car isn’t particularly quiet. The civilized base powertrain is responsive and managed a decent 28 mpg overall. The uplevel Sport version brings a firmer suspension, an extra 40 horsepower, and optional advanced safety systems. The car’s low-slung stance makes it an effort to climb in and out, but once in, the front seats are comfortable and there is adjustable lumbar support. The hatchback makes it easy to carry a bicycle when the rear seat are folded down. The car comes with a lot of equipment for the money, and the controls are easy to use.
