2015 Hyundai Elantra

Pros: Generous level of features for the money; roomy interior; pleasant road manners; added cargo versatility of GT hatchback model

Cons: Lack of stand-alone options means some desirable features are available only in expensive options packages, some lackluster interior materials

CG Says: Aside from the discontinuation of the 2-door coupe body style and some minor revisions to option packages, the Hyundai Elantra lineup sees no significant changes for 2015. Like the larger Sonata, Hyundai’s Elantra sedan packs the one-two punch of attractive styling and good fuel economy. This compact car does most everything well, though it doesn’t really stand out in any one area. That still makes for a compelling package in this highly competitive class. Pricing is attractive, but watch the options on range-topping Limited models. The Elantra GT 4-door hatchback maintains Hyundai’s generous features-per-dollar value equation while adding welcome cargo versatility.
