The Elantra GLS is the mainstay model conformed as a four-door sedan, but there's also a sport-tuned Elantra GT five-door hatchback and the new four-door GT sedan.

Both GT models contain leather seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, firm suspension settings, four-wheel disc brakes and foglamps plus 15-inch alloy wheels.

Power for all Elantras flows from Hyundai's 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 140 hp. A five-speed manual or four-speed electronic automatic is available and side-impact air bags appear in the inventory of safety features.
