2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring GLS

Acceleration and Power

The one place the 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring seems to stumble is its powerplant.  The Elantra Touring comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 138 horsepower. Reviewers say that's not enough power, particularly when the Elantra Touring is weighed down by people or cargo. A five-speed manual is standard and a four-speed automatic transmission is available for $800 more in the SE and $1,200 more in the GLS.  Most reviewers recommend the manual, which they say helps drivers make the most of the Elantra Touring's power; they also note that it's a very easy manual to operate.
With the manual transmission, the Elantra Touring gets an EPA-estimated 23/31 mpg city/highway fuel economy. With the automatic, the Elantra Touring gets 23/30 mpg city/highway.

A compact with a sporting heart and plenty of space.

It’s not an overstatement to suggest that the new 2011 Elantra Touring is destined to become your favourite way to get around. Impressive interior space combines with European styling, fit and finish to deliver practicality in a perfect package.

The 5-door Elantra Touring represents a new standard in cars that offer exceptionally good value. You’ll enjoy comfortable seating for five, plus generous cargo room. And for times when you need to carry more stuff than people, the rear seatbacks fold down, creating immense cargo space.

And while it’s rare to find a vehicle that uses space efficiently while ensuring a sporty drive, the Elantra Touring is just that. It’s compact and nimble, with an exceptional level of go-power at your disposal. It’s a package that simply gets it right.

If you’re ready to experience a compact that changes the face of the category, put the safe, reliable, spirited 2011 Elantra Touring (L, GL, GLS or GLS with Sport Package) on your radar.
