The compact car other compact car makers don't want you to see.
Consider this the end of wheezy, underpowered compacts.
A lightweight, high-tech engine helps the 2012 Hyundai Elantra
achieve the best power-to-weight ratio in its class, and a class-leading
standard fuel efficiency at 40 MPG, highway. That's better than the
Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla or any other competitor. The 2012 Elantra breaks convention, and years of compact car complacency.

1.8L, 4 cylinder engine with D-CVVT
At 40 MPG highway for all models, it's more fuel-efficient than Civic and Corolla.
The 2012 Elantra also topped the competitive compact segment, winning ALG's award for the highest residual value in its class.
A car so safe, it scares the competition.
The 2012 Hyundai Elantra has active safety features to help you
avoid accidents, and passive safety features in case an accident
happens.

Traction Control System
Anti-Lock Braking System
Brake Assist
Six air bags

A compact car with style. Imagine that.
For years, we've been conditioned to accept boring compact cars.
The 2012 Hyundai Elantra bucks convention in a big way with its
distinctive, Wind Craft-inspired shape. Style features like wraparound
headlights, front fog lights, and muscular wheel arches give it a lower,
sportier profile. This is a compact car like none before it.
Proximity Key
Elantra Limited: includes attractive bodycolor side mirrors with turn signal indicators
that increase visibility and safety, a one-touch power tilt-and-slide
sunroof with sliding sunshade, and 17-inch, 7-spoke alloy wheels that
are not only a stylish addition, but also give you more rubber on the
road.
Even the government classifies Elantra's interior as exceptional.
The superbly designed interior gives you more space than the
Toyota Corolla, the Honda Civic, and even the Nissan Maxima. In fact,
the 2012 Hyundai Elantra has so much room that the government classifies
it as a mid-size car instead of a compact like Corolla or Civic. Elantra
also has the most front leg room in its class.
