The Hyundai Elantra was completely redesigned for the 2011 model year, and reviewers loved nearly everything about the updated model. In addition to a new exterior, powertrain and cabin, the Elantra has a strong safety rating. Test drivers thought two of the Elantra’s most impressive updates were its spacious interior and good fuel economy. The 2011 Elantra has one of the biggest cabins in the class, and many reviewers said it has enough passenger room and trunk space to compete with some 2011 midsize sedans.
While car reviewers loved the Elantra’s fuel economy, they thought that its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine was pleasant, but not powerful. The Elantra gets 28/38 mpg city/highway with either the standard manual transmission or the available automatic.
