2016 Hyundai Elantra GT - The Car Connection
new car reviews for this model by our editors news including price changes, new models, or recall info new incentives and rebates that are being offered for this vehicle. While the Hyundai Elantra compact sedan that shares most of the same name is a best-seller, the Elantra GT is more of a niche vehicle—and really, a completely different one developed primarily with Europe in mind. While the Elantra takes aim at the Toyota Corolla and Chevy Cruze among many others, the GT looks to rival hatchback versions of the Ford Focus and the VW Golf. In the past, Hyundai's sold various Elantra GT hatchbacks and wagons, but this time, the five-door version's much more closely related to the model that's sold in Europe--even more so than the four-door and two-door. The drivetrains and some front structures are similar, but the Elantra GT has its own wheelbase, its own bodywork, and its own rear suspension. Some of Hyundai current global styling cues show up on the Elantra GT, particularly on the front end, where its hexagonal grille links it to the Elantra coupe and sedan—though the grille's grown bigger and sharper this year. The GT teams up well with either the six-speed manual or six-speed automatic Hyundai offers. Source: www.thecarconnection.com
