Elantra - Value for Money

Exterior

 Futuristic & aerodynamic

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Quite comfortable. Bluetooth for the phone and temperature control are there. Ventilated Seat feature is available only with Luxury cars like BMW, Merc etc so its good to see the same in Elantra . Even though I have got Casca system with Navigation installed additionally & it’s working as charm.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Very silent & comfortable, gear shifting is very smooth. Excellent city ride experience while comparing with its competitors like Cruze, Civic (dead now) & Corolla Altis.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ground clearance is excellent, never had issues while driving in bumpy roads..

Final Words

 Best Car is the segment, its reflecting in the sales numbers too, this is the top selling car in its segment.

Areas of improvement  

 Fuel economy is not that great, I am getting 10~11 in city & 13.5 in highways against claim of 16kmpl, Navigation system, auto wiper, is missing, Since I got upgraded myself from SX4 to Elantra I felt some problem initially while entering into the car because of height.
