2016 Hyundai Elantra GT – Test Drive and Review - New York Daily News

There are several reasons—in polar opposition to the AMG—a buyer would be looking at hatchbacks: value, fuel economy, hauling capacity, sporty driving, and up-to-the-21st century interior features that enlighten and brighten the commute. I report to you that this sweet little Hyundai hatchback’s got attractive styling, ample engine power, a connected interior and room for stuff. Not much has dramatically changed for the 2016 Elantra GT. The front-end has a bolder design, 17-inch wheels are available, you can option a ventilated driver and passenger’s seat, along with tech features like next-generation nav with HD Radio... The standard features are impressive and include different steering modes, air conditioning with cabin filter, a 90-day trial of Sirius XM, Bluetooth, remote keyless entry with power locks, tilt and telescopic steering, power windows, heated front... We took a steep climb up Bear Mountain, located about 50 miles north of New York City, and the Elantra’s effortless cornering on one particularly twisty road overlooking the Hudson Valley actually inspired some fun-to-drive enjoyment. The fuel economy is less impressive, however, and returns 24-mpg during city driving and 33-mpg on the highway. Source: www.nydailynews.com
