If you’ve been looking for your next car, don’t miss out on this one. Here are the top reasons why Huffines Hyundai in Plano think that the Hyundai Elantra should be your next car.

Powerful Yet Fuel-Efficient Engine 

A traditional gas-powered engine in the Hyundai Elantra gets you where you need to go without sacrificing fuel economy. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder inline engine is paired with a Smartstream intelligent variable transmission for a responsive, smooth-shifting ride. The multi-point fuel injection system, along with the idle stop-and-go technology system, allows you to maintain up to 43 mpg while on the highway so you can drive longer between fill-ups. This system gets you up to 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque for a responsive driving experience.

Impressive Performance

Various performance features help enhance your ride every time you get behind the wheel. The front-wheel-drive system enables you to navigate in a variety of weather and road conditions. With the standard drive mode select system with normal, sport, and smart mode, you can choose what type of driving experience you have. The sport mode gets you a faster response and quick handling, while the smart mode helps to increase fuel efficiency. 

You’ll also find an anti-lock braking system, brake assist, and a vehicle stability management system with electronic stability control, traction control, and hill start assist control to keep you in charge while on the road.
