A wide stance, striking front air intake and vertical tail lights set the Elantra Touring apart from the competition. While the sloping beltline and stylish profile don’t just look good, but also improve fuel efficiency.

The taut design isn’t just for looks, it contributes to a low coefficient of drag for improved fuel economy and less road noise. The longer wheelbase—106.3 inches, the longest in its class—allows for maximum interior space, a plus for road trips. And a wide stance increases overall stability, and confidence even through the canyons. With all the science, we haven’t forgotten about styling details. The SE adds striking 17‐inch Alloy wheels, silver roof side rails, and front fog lights.

Attractive styling is nothing without the quality and reliability that Hyundai has built its name on. Every vehicle on our assembly line has to pass a gauntlet of quality checks—hundreds. There are lasers calibrated to detect variances of less than a millimeter to scan each car’s body for inconsistencies in panel gaps and alignments.

Hop in and the first thing you’ll notice is the space. 10% more than our nearest competitor. We also didn’t skimp on standard features like air conditioning, heated dual power side mirrors, a cooled glove compartment and a great iPod®‐ready stereo.

Air conditioning, power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry with alarm, and an extremely accommodating adjustable driver seat are among a surplus of features that have become Hyundai’s signature. There’s also steering wheel mounted cruise control (standard A/T), heated dual power side mirrors and a six‐speaker 172‐watt audio system with XM® Satellite Radio and iPod®/USB and auxiliary input jacks. But hey, who’s counting. The affordably priced SE trim adds a power sunroof, leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, and a stylish leather‐wrapped steering wheel and shift knob just to name a few.

By lengthening the car’s wheelbase and moving the B‐pillars (the ones between the doors) so they intrude less into the passenger cabin, Hyundai designers created over 65 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, more than the Toyota Matrix, Volkswagen Golf, or Mazda3. And when you fold the seats down, you’ve even got more room than the 2010 Nissan Murano and Hummer H3. A well‐organized interior provides even more space. Seatback pockets, in‐dash storage, center console and front armrests are just a start. There are also rear‐center armrest cupholders, front and rear door map pockets with bottle holders, an overhead compartment for your sunglasses and even a discreet under‐floor storage bin in the rear for valuables.

The simple, intuitive interior means dials and controls are easily accessed. The blue backlit instrument cluster make the bright, easy‐to‐read numbers stand out. The standard five‐speed manual transmission on the SE has a short‐throw B&M Racing® Sport Shifter that feels responsive and confidently connected to the transmission. Even the seats have a contoured headrest and are upholstered with breathable premium cloth or optional leather that holds you snug in the corners.

Electronic Stability Control has been labeled, by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, ”the single most important safety advancement since the seatbelt.” The Elantra Touring was the first compact five‐door to make this a standard feature.

Start with the basics; a reinforced unibody made of high‐tensile steel with crumple zones that shunt impact forces around the passenger cell. Then add bodyside reinforcements, hood‐buckling creases, active head restraints and an energyabsorbing steering column, that absorbs the impact, so you don’t have to.

The best safety features are the ones that help prevent accidents from happening in the first place. Electronic Stability Control. (ESC), combined with Hyundai’s Traction Control System (TCS) and computer‐controlled braking of individual wheels, helps prevent the vehicle from skidding and leaving the road. If widely deployed, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration feels it could save 10,000 lives a year.

There are six airbags, a combination that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says can reduce fatalities by 45%. Four‐wheel, four‐channel ABS brakes with Electronic Brake‐force Distribution, that seamlessly vary and adjust brake pressure to each wheel, as necessary, and provide maximum braking power and prevent wheel lockup. We’re making safety standard.

Let’s face it, even the best drivers can do little to avoid rear‐end collisions. Hyundai has included active front head restraints that move forward and up during a rear impact, helping to reduce the effects of potential whiplash. The restraint mechanism uses body weight alone to react in a collision, making it simple, yet reliable.

It will liven up your commute, but the open road is its sweet spot. Opt for the SE’s 5‐speed manual with a B&M Racing® Sport Shifter, with the agile sport‐tuned suspension and watch the road, commute, or otherwise, fly by.

Though it’s fun to drive, the Touring is committed to efficiency. A certified Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV), the Elantra Touring’s efficient 2.0‐liter engine delivers up to 31 miles per gallon on the highway and generates a solid 138 horsepower and 136 pound‐feet of torque. Acceleration comes from its dual overhead cams, and the Continuously Variable Valve Timing syncs the intake and exhaust valves to both widen the power band and boost its overall MPG.

Good handling is what makes a car fun to drive, and the Elantra Touring doesn’t disappoint. Start with an agile sport‐tuned suspension, beefier stabilizer bars and stiffer springs to reduce body roll. A speed‐sensitive steering rack provides more assistance when you need it—at slower speeds—and has been tuned for quicker overall responsiveness.
