2010 Hyundai Elantra Review

The handsome 2010 Hyundai Elantra competes in the compact economy car class with the Chevrolet Cobalt, Ford Focus, Mazda Mazda3 and the Honda Civic. Notably, the Elantra offers loads of spaciousness and can comfortably seat up to five full grown adults. It also features an impressive Elantra 5-year/60000-mile Basic Warranty and a 10-year/100000-mile Powertrain warranty.

The 2010 Elantra from Hyundai delivers its power from a 2.0L DOHC I4 engine that generates 138 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque with the help of a 5-speed manual gearbox (4-speed automatic is optional). EPA estimations for fuel economy have been reported at 26/35 miles per gallon in the cities and on the highways. This year, a new entry-level Blue trim is available - and the rear garnish and front grill have been freshened. Besides that, the Elantra is a basic carryover from 2009. GLS and SE trims are also available and all versions are 4-door sedans.

An impressive list of standard safety features comes along with the Hyundai Elantra for 2010. It includes 4-wheel ABS, front/side/side curtain airbags, active head restraints, electronic brake force distribution, tire pressure monitoring and much more. The cabin space is well-thought and more than adequately comfortable. Rear passengers are not forgotten and are provided with plenty of leg and hip room. There are copious amounts of cubby holes for storage innovatively placed throughout as well. The Elantra is practical and built with extra convenience in mind.

The ride quality of the Elantra by Hyundai for 2010 is also very commendable. It is a well-mannered, yet able vehicle. Doing 80 on the highways for extended time periods is definitely not a problem. It also runs quietly, yet with enough ready power to consistently maintain the confidence levels of all occupants. Optimal-quality braking and excellent cornering abilities are also to be expected. 5-star frontal crash test ratings for both drivers and passengers have been awarded by the NHTSA. Even in a tough economy, obtaining financing for these safe, well-covered vehicles is a snap.

MSRPs for the 2010 Hyundai Elantra range between $14,145 and $17,845. It's sportier than ever before - and at the same time, more practical as well. The Elantra is fun to drive and features highly responsive power steering and a newly-rethought suspension system. All the creature features for technology and comfort that you could desire can be included, if they're not already standard. Versatility, utility, excitement and good, sporty looks are all representative of this year's spacious Elantra from Hyundai.
