The superbly designed interior gives you more space than the Corolla, the Civic and even the Nissan Maxima.
In fact, the Elantra has so much room, the government classifies it as a midsize car instead of a compact.
Here’s something that will make you feel even more comfortable: Elantra offers the most front leg room in its class.
Intuitively designed around the driver, audio and climate controls are within easy reach. There’s loads of leg room, and generous head and shoulder room for both the front- and rear-seat passengers—plus 14.8 cubic feet of cargo volume, which makes it ideal for long weekends. Special attention has also been paid to reduce NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) which ensures a smooth and quiet ride.
The Elantra defies stripped-down compact car tradition with standard iPod®/USB and auxiliary input jacks, and XM® Satellite Radio. The LIMITED adds available Proximity Key entry with electronic push button start, while high-tech upgrades include available 7-inch color navigation information display, Bluetooth® and even an available rearview camera to help with parking and backing up.
Standard on the LIMITED, the Elantra is the first compact car to have heated seats for both front and rear passengers.
Standard on all trims, you get over 170 commercial-free radio stations on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, plus upgrade to the available navigation and receive XM NavTraffic® for real-time traffic info, and XM NavWeather™, XM Sports and XM Stocks to keep you informed and in charge.
Available on the LIMITED, the navigation system with 7-inch screen makes it easy to get from A to B with voice recognition or interactive touchscreen. The system allows you to search for nearby businesses, such as gas stations, ATMs or restaurants. You can even get a clear picture of the current traffic situations, weather, stocks and sports scores, all in real time.
If you must talk while driving, please do it with your hands on the wheel. The Elantra’s available Bluetooth technology with phonebook transfer gives you hands-free access to your phone with a very handy voice-recognition control.
The rearview camera, available on the LIMITED, displays images on the central in-dash touchscreen, with guidelines that help direct you into tight spots and take the guesswork out of backing up.
