The 2016 Hyundai Elantra positions itself as a sedan alternative to the popular i30 hatch, appealing to buyers who prefer the three-box body style without moving up to a larger vehicle. Unlike the i30, the Elantra comes with a single engine option: a 2-litre petrol producing 112 kW and 192 Nm of torque.
One of the highlights for 2016 is the inclusion of Apple CarPlay, which Amelia explores during the review. Connectivity features like CarPlay were still a relative novelty at the time, and the Elantra's implementation gave buyers a useful technology at a competitive price point.
The Elantra competes with the Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3 and Nissan Pulsar for small-car buyers who want a sedan rather than a hatch. Its combination of practical packaging, reasonable running costs and Hyundai's five-year warranty make it a straightforward proposition.
