Vay Tiá»n TráșŁ GĂłp Theo ThĂĄng Chá» Cáș§n Cmnd. Compact sedans has been one of the popular vehicles in the local market. Today, more Filipinos prefer to buy SUVs, MPVs, crossovers, and even pickups. This phenomenon could be attributed to the compact sedanâs price tag, which is almost on the same ground with the other mentioned type of vehicles. You can also take into account that SUVs and MPVs can accommodate up to 7 occupants, a huge plus point considering that Filipinos love to travel in groups. In AutoDeal, the top 3 vehicles for April 2017 are composed of an MPV, SUV, and crossover. Despite of this telltale signs, manufacturers are still pitting their respective challengers in the compact sedan segment. To deliver that point and to see whether it can bring back the popularity of compact sedans, Hyundai handed over the keys of the 2017 Hyundai Elantra GL, the mid-variant model. So, letâs see how it plays out. You have to thank Hyundai Motor Groupâs president and chief design officer Peter Schreyer if you love the new exterior styling of the Elantra. Schreyer is credited to Hyundaiâs new look, which they call the Fluidic Sculpture. Before joining the Korean brand, he worked for Audi and known for his designs on the A3, A4, and A6. Visually, the 2017 Elantra has an angular body with the reduction of curves and flowing lines. It is fitted with a hexagonal grille, sharp-looking headlights, and a large bumper â giving the vehicle a confident stance. Towards its side, straight lines characterize the Elantra while the wheel arches are now less prominent as compared to the outgoing model. Review 2017 Hyundai Elantra GL Performance Engine Output HP, Acceleration, Transmission, Handling Design Exterior & Interior Design, Quality, Fit and Finish, Ergonomics Ride Comfort Cabin Comfort, Suspension, NVH Insulation Safety and Technology Convenience Technologies, Active and Passive Safety Features Value for Money Amount of the vehicle you get for the price, Fuel Efficiency What You Will Like Better exterior design as compared to its predecessor. Stable ride. Driver-oriented dashboard. What You Won't Like Doesn't have a Bluetooth function. No one-touch power windows up or down for the driver. For its price, it could have been integrated with more safety and tech features. How We Do Our Reviews As a whole, the exterior allows the vehicle to have a more mature look without compromising its youthful vibe. We actually prefer the Elantraâs new angular body than its flowy and curvy design before because itâs more subtle but still has the qualities to get your attention. The only thing we think that Hyundai should have considered was to make the Elantra more sporty â similar to other vehicles in its class. Itâs like a halo-halo, complete with all the sahogs, but lacks sugar. Not a good idea to use halo-halo as an analogy; we now have to resist our cravings for that cold dessert. Inside the cabin, the Elantra has a straightforward design along with a driver-oriented layout. The latter gives the driver the liberty to not lean forward in order to reach the controls. Speaking of which, the controls are organized in such a way that one wouldnât be overwhelmed or confused. In other words, they are well-placed. Hard plastic materials somewhat dominates the entire cabin, but this is tolerable considering the neat layout of the dashboard. This particular variant comes with fabric seats and audio system that features a CD, MP3, Aux, and USB compatibility. However, this Elantra doesnât have a Bluetooth function. It also doesnât come with speed-sensing door locks and rear backing sensors, as well as one-touch power windows up or down for the driver. On the other hand, these things are made up for with the Elantraâs spacious interior. The rear leg- and head-room is decent, giving passengers a comfortable ride. You can let 3 of your healthy 5â5ââ friends sit at the back without a problem. This mid-variant Elantra is powered by a gasoline engine. It produces 128 hp and 154 Nm of torque while shifting is via 6-speed automatic transmission. With its power output ratings, the Elantra is at par with its rivals. The Elantra can tackle the congested city roads with ease. Your arms wouldnât be subjected to a lot of work thanks to its electronic power steering wheel. It feels light, which gives you a relaxed feel behind the wheel. The weak points we mentioned in the Elantraâs interior is further compensated by its good ride comfort. It absorbs road impact well and it doesnât lose its composure when faced with Metro Manilaâs potholes and dilapidated roads. The Elantra also has a nice cabin acoustics with road and engine noise reduced to a minimum. In terms of fuel economy, the vehicle registered 7 km/l with an average speed of 15 km/h moderate to heavy traffic. Out on the open highway, the Elantra is stable and planted, which gives you confidence when changing lanes. It delivers enough power with relatively minimum lag, allowing you to overtake slower vehicles with good measure. Moreover, the engine is never short of climbing power when tackling uphill roads and it is doesnât lose its poise going downhill. Fuel economy-wise, this Elantra yielded 18 km/l while running at an average speed of 85 km/h. Overall, this mid-variant Elantra could bring back the popularity of compact sedans in the local market but, thereâs one issue that needs to be addressed â its price tag. At P1,008,000, this Elantra could have a tough time winning the hearts of those who prefer SUVs and MPVs that are priced relatively on the same ground. However, the Elantraâs new exterior look, roomy cabin, and stable ride could just be enough to make a change of heart.
Hyundai Elantra [2016-2019] SX O AT ReviewHyundai has come a long way as a manufacturer. From being considered as a budget brand to being able to sell cars well above Rs 10 lakh in huge numbers is a testament to the quality of products the Korean manufacturer has delivered. The Elantra which was launched in 2012 was a surprise package is it? Hyundai has come a long way as a manufacturer. From being considered as a budget brand to being able to sell cars well above Rs 10 lakh in huge numbers is a testament to the quality of products the Korean manufacturer has delivered. The Elantra which was launched in 2012 was a surprise package too. Although selling just in three digits, it was for a while the best-selling sedan in its segment. That meant Hyundai was able to beat heavy weights such as Skoda, Volkswagen and Toyota at their own game. Now, four years down the line, the brand new Elantra has arrived and it looks even more impressive and promising than the car it replaces. Although Hyundai claims the chassis to be all-new on the Elantra, the basic architecture is quite similar to the car it replaces. Proof of this is the wheelbase, which at 2700mm is exactly the same as before. But thatâs where the similarities end. The new Elantra gets a more rigid structure thanks to Hyundai using 53 per cent advanced high-strength steel compared to 21 per cent from the previous model. This means overall body stiffness has gone up by per cent and bending strength has gone up by per cent too. On top of that, the new Elantra has adhesive application 40 times higher on the chassis, which should not only improve dynamics but also reduce NVH and vibrations. To improve on the old cars main weakness ride and handling Hyundai has also altered the rear suspension geometry. The rear shock absorbers and the coil springs sit more upright on the torsion beam axle. The new Elantra promises to be more spacious on the inside too. The new car is 40mm longer, 25mm wider than the car it is it on the inside? Where the exterior looks stylish, the interior of the new Elantra is dominated by straight lines. Still it looks interesting and thoroughly modern and the large 8-inch touchscreen is high set, which makes it easy to use on the move. The vertical vents beside it look unique though not very attractive and the air-con control housing looks very European. Overall quality is a huge step-up over the old car and all the touch points like the dash-top, armrest, steering and gearknob is either finished in soft plastics or leather. A special mention should be made of the large infotainment system too. The high-res screen and the quick acting touch makes it feel premium. The unit has both Android auto and Apple Carplay, which only adds to the overall experience. Thanks to the new carâs larger dimensions, thereâs a lot of space on the inside. Thereâs plenty of legroom for rear-seat passengers and the rear bench itself is comfortable, with decent thigh support and a flattish floor. However, the rising shoulder line impedes visibility from the back seat and the all-black interior doesnât give you a very airy feeling too. Also the sloping roofline eats into the rear headroom and anyone above 5 foot 11 inch will find headroom to be a bit too compromised. The cabin though is very practical with loads of bottle and cup holders present for both front and reat seats. The boot at 458litres is not particularly big and is just about enough for your familyâs weekend luggage. As ever with Hyundai, the Elantra is very well equipped, and apart from the new touchscreen, youâll find things like auto headlamps, keyless entry and go, cruise control, electric drivers seat, front seat ventilation, six airbags, ESP and of course, Bluetooth. How does it drive? The petrol Elantra automatic is powered by a new 1999cc naturally aspirated petrol motor which is good for 152bhp. The motor is quite smooth and its free revving nature helps you make good progress. Although it is a bit weak at lower revs, the torque converter does a good job of masking this. There is a nice step-up in power past 3000rpm and the motor really gets in its stride past 5000rpm all the way to the redline. This lends the motor a nice linear power delivery, which makes it relaxing to drive. The big news is the automatic gearbox though, it is a heavily reworked version of the six-speed torque converter found on the old car. You also get Ecoâ Normalâ and Sportâ modes which alters the way the gearbox behaves. While driving in Ecoâ mode, the gearbox upshifts early, maintaining a relatively low engine speed in a bid to improve fuel economy. A dab on the throttle gets it moving quite nicely, and when driven like this, it is quite adept at mixing in with other traffic. In Normalâ mode the gearbox responds to your right foot even better and this makes it ideal for highway usage. The Sportâ mode feels perfect for spirited driving as the gearbox is light on its feet, as it downshifts near the redline even at the slightest dab on the throttle. But for normal use this mode doesnât work too well as the gearbox also tends to get confused and keeps the engine too high up in the rev range. The engine does get a bit noisy post 4000rpm, but never to the point of being unbearable. Other than that, this motor is quite refined and driving the Elantra is a soothing experience thanks to its great its sound insulation. We tested the Elantra petrol A/T and found it covered the 0-100kmph in a decent Although good on its own, it is quite a bit slower than the Skoda Octavia The Elantra CRDI, on the other hand, has the same diesel unit as the old car. The Elantraâs engine makes 126bhp of power and 260Nm of torque from a low 1900rpm. Unlike the petrol, the diesel doesnât get the updated gearbox so it feels noticeably slower to shift and respond. On first impressions, the Elantra diesel auto doesnât feel all that quick as it accelerates in an extremely linear and relaxed manner. In slower traffic, it feels stress-free to drive thanks to the auto-box which eliminates some of the throttle lag present in the manual version. On the highway, the Elantra cruises nicely too and thereâs more than adequate power for overtaking. The Elantra is much quicker than it feels. It goes from 0-100kph in just which is around the same as the old car. Another strong point of the Elantra diesel is its fantastic engine refinement. Except for some vibrations at idle, the engine is extremely quiet and it maintains its composure even when worked hard. But where the Elantra has improved the most is in terms of its ride. Over any surface, at speed, the Elantra felt unfazed and the refined suspension simply goes about its job, keeping you isolated from the biggest of potholes. Itâs only at low speeds that you feel some stiffness and the sharp bumps do jar you a bit. But here too we are being picky rather than critical. We drove the car on the East coast road, off Chennai. With hardly any corners to speak of, it was difficult to assess its handling prowess. But first impressions are pretty positive. The steering felt surprisingly direct and the Elantra felt rock steady at high speeds too. Hyundai, thanks to the improved chassis, has definitely taken big steps in this respect. On the downside the brake pedal feel is a bit wooden and a more linear feel would have been welcomed. Should I buy one? The new Elantra betters the old car in almost every way, especially in terms of dynamics. If you are primarily looking for an all-rounder with good space, a premium cabin and lots of features, the Elantra is one of the best in its segment. Both the petrol and diesel motors have good grunt and ARAI efficiency figures look promising too. Another strong attribute of the Elantra is the refinement, thanks to both the motors being exceptionally silent. So when you add all of it together you get a car that gets you your moneyâs worth, especially considering how well Hyundai has priced it. The proven service backing and Hyundaiâs premium Assurance scheme means the Elantra is a premium sedan thatâs easy to recommend.

ï»żThe feisty Elantra N Line handles curves well, but slow acceleration drops it behind its elantra Full OverviewEver since our first drive of the Hyundai Elantra N Line, we've been eager to get our hands on one for instrumented testing. The frisky 2022 Hyundai Elantra N Line is now basically the automaker's answer to the new 2022 Honda Civic Si and Volkswagen's Jetta GLI, two cars we adore, and we wanted to see how it stacked up. Like its rivals, we already knew the Elantra N Line is subjectively good fun to drive; we needed to see some objective now that we've seen them, well, we kind of wish we hadn' Line The Upgraded Hyundai ElantraLet's start with a quick review of the hardware The 2022 Hyundai Elantra N Line is powered by Hyundai's 201-hp turbo-four engine. With 195 lb-ft of torque, it just barely bests the new-for-2022 Civic Si by 1 hp and 3 lb-ft. Like the Jetta GLI, the Elantra N Line offers both manual and automatic transmission options, the former a six-speed and the latter a seven-speed dual-clutch. Purists that we are, we brought the stick-shift model in for testing.Compared to other Elantras, the N Line features several upgrades including an independent rear suspension, larger brakes, stiffer suspension tuning, and standard-fit "summer" performance tires. Unique front and rear bumpers, black mirror caps, and a small trunk spoiler further differentiate the N Line from other Elantras, but the differences are so subtle as to be easily missed. If you're looking to fly under the radar, the Elantra N Line is your the Elantra N Line Mission ImpossibleOnce we strapped our testing gear to the N Line, our mood quickly turned glum. First, acceleration At just less than 3,000 pounds, the Elantra N Line made the run to 60 mph in a decidedly unimpressive seconds. For comparison, the 2022 Honda Civic Si made it to 60 in seconds which we complained was "disappointingly slow", and the last GLI we testedâa 2019 automatic car, mechanically identical to the recently refreshed 2022 VW GLIâdid it in the really embarrassing bit The pedestrian Elantra Limited, with its engine and CVT automatic, was quicker than the N Line to 60âit made it in seconds. Even the frugal Elantra Hybrid was only a tenth of a second behind the N expected the Elantra N Line to deliver a time closer to seconds, so what went wrong? The clutch's engagement tuning seems set up to protect the drivetrain; drop the clutch, and the engine bogs. Slip the clutch, and the engine bogs. We found it impossible to execute any sort of an aggressive launch with this vs. Reality?That was unfortunate, because the acceleration figure doesn't give an accurate picture of what the 2022 Hyundai Elantra N Line can do. Many of our staffers observed that, although there was some turbo lag, once the revs and the boost picked up, the engine offered plenty of power and was good fun to wind out to that couldn't help the Elantra N Line in the quarter mile. It trotted down the strip in seconds with a trap speed of mph, just barely beating the Elantra Limited seconds and Elantra Hybrid seconds. The Honda Civic Si was second quicker and mph faster in the quarter mile, and even those numbers are nothing to brag about. Again, we really hoped the Elantra N Line might be a good match for the Jetta GLI, which made the run in a seconds at mph. No was more in line with our expectations, with good bite and pedal feel, but the Hyundai's stopping distance of 111 feet from 60 mph just trailed the Civic 110 feet and the Jetta 109 feet.Figure Eight The Fun Is There, But the Grip Isn'tAs for the Elantra N Line's handling, we loved the way the car took on our figure-eight course. It inspired confidence and felt capable, not too far off the Civic Si. However, its vague clutch and shifter feel were our test readouts showed once again the 2022 Hyundai Elantra N Line trailed the Civic Si g of lateral grip and a time through the figure eight, averaging g. The Civic's numbers were and seconds at g, just a shade behind the GLI. Close, but the Elantra was still in all, it was a bad day at the track for a car we still rather enjoy. With its $25,000 price tag, the 2022 Hyundai Elantra N Line is a great deal for a family-friendly stick-shift sedan that can generate big grins on a curvy road. But performance testing is a by-the-numbers business, and those numbers don't flatter The Hyundai Elantra N Line nips at its competitors' heels for braking and grip, but in acceleration testing, it gets left in the good!

Life In The Catwalk The old Hyundai Elantra were one of those cars in which were, OK, if not terrible, but in recent years, Hyundai, along with itâs sister company, Kia, has been undergoing a renaissance in which their cars are rapidly getting better in quality, durability, performance and style. This Hyundai Elantra is far from the what the old one used to be. It looks stylish, comfortable and refined. In a see of Japanese and American car offerings, how does 2011-2012 Philippine Car Of The Year stack up? Exterior This may be the base Elantra GL, but unlike the base model sedans of other companies, this doesnât feel spartan. It looks genuinely good and the design is positively futuristic. Hyundaiâs âfluidic sculptureâ stays true to its name, as the Elantra looks very swoopy and, well, fluidic. The hexagonal grille will definitely catch your attention. This generation of the Elantra really is far from what the old Elantra used to be. As a tuner fan though, I sort of think the exterior design wonât age well as the trend of concept car-like design may not last forever, and hence, I prefer the design of itâs sibling, the 2013 Kia Forte, which is also based on the same platform as the Elantraâs. Interior Hyundaiâs âfluidic sculptureâ theme continues to the interior. There are barely any angular shapes in the design. Once again, even though this is the base model, it doesnât feel totally cheap or spartan. An excellent sign of attention to detail is that, Iâd be happy to report to you that the glove box is damped, as this is only typical in more expensive vehicles. Damped. That slow down effect when opening the glove box. The airconditioning controls do look good, but it takes a bit of getting used to. Interior plastics are hard, but doesnât feel cheap and spartan. I do wish it shared the same radio head unit as the one seen in the Elantra GLS because this head unit seems to be out of place of the Elantraâs interior design. Design aside, I find it unique that the Elantra has a organ-type gas pedal, a feature much more common in upscale sedans, giving the driver better comfort on long drives. Space and Practicality The trunk is spacious, and so is the cabin, though the cabin may not seem as spacious because the Elantraâs design has a rising beltline, therefore it has less glass area. Kids may find it difficult to look outside, though when backing up, rear visibility isnât much of a problem. A longer wheelbase than some of its rivals means that legroom is excellent. Foot room, meanwhile is helped by having a flat floor. All the seats are comfortable and supportive with good thigh support. For the driverâs seat, thereâs plenty of adjustments, and the steering wheel has reach and rake, so it wonât be hard for anyone to find their ideal driving position. Features The Hyundai Elantra GL is decently equipped. Of course, there are the typical power features, such as the windows, mirrors, and locks. The JVC stereo I mentioned, while only 1-DIN, does have full iPod integrations and plays it through 4 speakers. The typical array of ABS with EBD puts things under control should you brake heavily, and a driverâs side airbag should anything go wrong. Powertrain Powering the Hyundai Elantra GL is Hyundaiâs liter Gamma engine. Output is 130 PS at 6300 rpm and torque at 157 Nm at 4850 rpm. These figures may not sound powerful, but take note. This is only being produced by a liter engine. The Elantraâs liter engine produces the most power in any car that has a liter in our market. Power is delivered through a 6-speed automatic transmission with tiptronic shifting via the rear wheels. 6-speed transmissions still arenât a common offering these days. Kudos to Hyundai for that. How It Drives Drive the Hyundai Elantra around, and what I first noticed is that, the whole cabin is more biased towards comfort. That organ-type gas pedal I mentioned does feel more comfortable over your typical gas pedals. This should make the driver feel more comfortable when travelling on long highway journeys. Ride and handling is also good, as the Elantraâs suspension offers a good balance between agility and comfort. It isnât too hard that passengers will soon complain from backaches, but it isnât too soft either that the car becomes too wallowy. This means that the Hyundai Elantra, can hold on its own while being driven on winding country roads. The steering is precise and responsive, and the brakes feel good as well. The 6-Speed Automatic does a good job in delivering the appropriate gear, and if you want more control of the gearbox, the gearbox has manual mode via tiptronic shifting. Acceleration is excellent for a as the 6-speed automatic has excellent ratios. I must say, Hyundai has done a very good job with this 6-speed automatic, as they also seem to be really proud of their gearbox. That extra gear over the general competitionâs 5-speed automatic gives you better fuel economy. I averaged * km/l, which includes a mix of city, highway, and spirited driving including driving in âmanualâ mode. On The Downside As with everything in life, nothing is perfect. Road noise is present in the car when driving on uneven or coarse roads, and sometimes, the suspension does give you a noticeable increase in road noise when going over bumps. The steering is responsive and precise, but it doesnât give you much feedback, especially on center, and I find the self-centering of the steering wheel too assisted and too artificial for my taste. If you want the most fun to drive and sporty compact sedan, you probably want to check out the Ford Focus, Mazda 3, Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Lancer EX GT-A and Honda Civic EL. There are also some points to talk about in the interior. The interior is solidly well built, but this base GL variant has hard plastics, unlike the GLS. Also, there are some cabin pieces that feel really cheap, like the bottom part of the dashboard and doors. Verdict The Hyundai Elantra is one of the best compact sedans offered today. In a market dominated by Japanese and American cars, the Hyundai Elantra stands strong and competitive. Comfortable, practical, efficient and good looking, I donât see a reason why you shouldnât consider buying one, and at PHP 888,000, it is also an excellent value for money. Rating Exterior Design â

Building a C-Segment car must be one of the more difficult challenges for automakers. It can't be too small nor too large, it should be efficient but not underpowered and it should pack enough equipment to please a wide spectrum of customers. A C-Segment car should also look good and, to some extent, fill the owner with pride as he or she perches it on their driveway or office carpark. In short, it's the Goldilocks segment. So when it was time for Hyundai to redesign the Elantra, one can presume a few engineers gained a few more white hairs and more wrinkles. Judging from high praises from our past reviews, the new Elantra had to be a darn good car, a better car than its predecessor. On exterior alone, the Elantra is a winner. While not as daring as its predecessor, the new shape is edgier and more angular. It still retains that rather distinct roofline from the old Elantra but you won't mistake it for an Accent. Instead, it takes a more cues from its bigger brother, the Sonata, and that was a good looking sedan too. Hyundai's 'Fluidic Sculpture design philosophy did wonders for the Elantra. My favorite angle of the Elantra would be the front quarter view with its headlights giving it a more upmarket look. It's a looker from the rear too with its wide and slim tail lights and high-deck trunklid. It's a shame then that the 16-inch rims look rather small on the car. The silver paint doesn't do it any favors either as it hides many of the Elantra's character lines. Small wheels and bland color choice aside, I'd put the Elantra near the top of its class in terms of looks. It's a car you would probably buy on looks alone. Inside, things are more somber. Compared to the old Elantra, the interior on the new model is rather conservative. Gone are the sweeping lines of the previous generation and in its place is the more formal and upright 'T-design' dashboard as seen on the Sonata. Still, the more conventional look will perhaps age better in the long run. As for ergonomics, it's rather straightforward; radio in the top half, air-con controls at the lower half, no buttons in odd places and exactly where you expect them to be. Hyundai also made a great deal of effort in making the interior feel more premium. The soft touch dash was a nice treat and the door panels, while made from hard plastic, has a grain that still feels nice to touch. Push down on the buttons and there's a nice feel to them and there are no loud clicks or clacks when you press them, just a nice fluid motion. This interior can be best described as an exercise in touch points. Hyundai made the car feel more upscale by adding an air of quality where your hands usually go. However, there is a rather vital feature missing in the Elantra It lacks of Bluetooth. While you can still play songs from a smartphone's playlist, the system has a tendency to be a little choosy with the cord. Under the hood of this particular Elantra is Hyundai's Gamma MPi engine. Essentially a carryover from the previous generation model, it produces 130 PS and 154 Nm of torque. Needless to say, the figures are impressive for a liter engine. Hyundai bucks the CVT trend by pairing it with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. On the road, the Elantra doesn't wow you with pin-sharp driving dynamics or involve you in more spirited driving. The steering offers very little feel and remains light even at higher speeds, occasionally making you guess where the front wheels are pointed. Instead, the Elantra tries to cosset you with a smooth ride and excellent refinement. Noise isolation is good with sounds from the engine becoming more vocal 3,000 rpm, keeping things hushed in the cabin. Space inside is good and taller passengers won't complain about legroom but the sloping roofline cuts in a little on headroom. Despite the wind-cheating profile, forward visibility is better than its predecessor with redesigned front pillars and a larger windshield. The side windows are larger too, letting in more light in the cabin. Sitting at the back however, it may like a bunker since the window line sweeps upwards. Reversing into spaces in another matter. With its steep rear windshield, it often shows an illusion of you being close to a wall, only to find out you're still about a two feet away from it. What this car needs then is a set of reverse sensors which isn't available for the mid-level model. The aerodynamic shape of the Elantra makes it one of the quietest sedans I have tested. Even at highway speeds, there was little in the way of wind noise. Couple that with its pliant ride and the Elantra is great for long drives and cruises. Speaking of ride, it stays composed on the open road and soaks up bumps with muffled thump, just to let you know the road isn't smooth. At lower speeds, the ride is on the firm side but not harsh. Suspension rebound and compression is good and, with the way it was set up, does a good job of keeping the body level. As a car to bring you to work or out of town, the Elantra is comfortable to ride in and the light controls make it as stress-free as possible for the driver. The Elantra will impress many with its refinement and ease of driving; just don't ask it to hustle through corners. Shoppers in this segment expect good fuel economy and the Elantra delivers on that front. In relatively heavy traffic, the liter mill consumes kilometers per liter at an average speed of 16 km/h. Light traffic meanwhile yielded kilometers per liter at 32 km/h average. It sips on the highway too, returning kilometers per liter with an average speed of 92 km/h. These figures surprisingly top its Kia-badged cousin. Perhaps the slippery body played a role in its high efficiency on the highway. Talking about engine performance, it delivers most of its 130 PS at the mid-range of the rev-band. It may be related to the Forte but the Kia, as observed in our past review, makes the most of its grunt higher up the RPMs. Passing on the highway is no worry for the Elantra, just let the transmission kick down and go. For an even quicker overtake, put it in manual mode and pull it a gear down yourself. It's not the fastest manual mode out there but it does the job. As for value, the mid-range Elantra lacks a few features one would expect in this class of car. Aside from the aforementioned Bluetooth system, the Elantra doesn't have have a telescopic steering wheel nor an automatic up and down function for power windows. Also missing is automatic climate control, unusual in a mid-level C-Segment car. Some of its rivals, including its cousin, pack more equipment for less. Its twin packs dual-zone climate control with rear vents, touchscreen infotainment with AM/FM, CD, USB, Aux and Bluetooth, reverse camera with front and rear parking sensors? The Kia even comes with cruise control, automatic headlights. At Php 998,000, it sneaks in just under the 1 million peso 'barrier'. It ticks the boxes on what a C-Segment sedan should be. It's small enough to be maneuverable and spacious enough for a long haul. It's stylish and has a reasonably powerful and efficient engine too. While it won't please those looking for a sporty drive, the Elantra is more than enough for those considering a C-Segment sedan. All it needs now is a better equipment package to boost its value proposition.
