The surprisingly well-executed Equus proved Hyundai's competence in the high-end sedan market, and their push to introduce seven new or redesigned models in 24 months has yielded several fresh-faced offerings, including the midsize Sonata

The Elantra's cabin is a vastly improved space that's accented with a wave-patterned dashboard, best-in-class front legroom, and roomy rear seats whose only dimensional limitation is the headroom for those taller than six feet or so, thanks to its coupe-like silhouet.
Claiming $1,505 in savings over a comparable Honda Civic LX and a $1,620 advantage over a similarly equipped Chevrolet Cruze 1LT, the Elantra offers strong value within the compact segment that Hyundai says has seen 47 percent of buyers downsizing to in order to seek improvements in fuel efficiency.
