The 2011 Elantra, which will be in production by the end of this year, takes on the "fluidic sculpture" style Hyundai first applied to its new Sonata, a car that's been a huge success.
The Elantra is powered by Hyundai's new 4-cylinder 1.8-liter "Nu" engine. Fuel economy is a big factor for compact cars, and the new Elantra expected to get 40 miles per gallon on the highway. The Elantra will also be the first car in its segment to offer heated rear seats, something even many luxury cars can't boast.
