Best Luxury Cars | The 2010 Hyundai Elantra


For a small sedan the 2010 Hyundai Elantra goes relatively unnoticed. It's price and interior quality make it an excellent choice, but it is often overlooked by consumers who have more popular models in their minds. One of the most remarkable features of this budget sedans is the fact that their interiors resemble models that are well above the Elentra's class and price. Hyundai offers enough features to make these ideal vehicles for people who want a little bit of luxury, but aren't willing to spend the money required for a luxury name.

Trim packages available include the Blue, GLS and SE. Blue models are the absolute basic packages offering very limited accessories. Included are 15 inch steel wheels, remote keyless lock, 60/40 rear seats that fold, tilting steering wheels, and most power accessories. For a basic sedan at a more than reasonable price, consumers who are on a budget should really consider a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Blue trim package. Buyers who are looking for a little more substance can consider a GLS model. The GLS represents the middle of the road package for Hyundai. Consumers who purchase one of these models will find most of the options on the Blue packages with fog lights, optional navigation systems, and a better selection of interior fabrics. SE model is the best package as far as features are concerned. These come with CD players that have audio jacks, leather steering wheels with mounted accessory controls, heated front seats, sunroof, and leather upholstery. As a high-end model the SE offers enough to entice consumers, yet slightly less than most if it's competitors.

One of the best benefits of a 2010 Hyundai Elantra is that the interior is more reminiscent of a lot more expensive sedan. The interior build quality and materials are very nice to touch and look at. The only downside is that there aren't more options to put in the dashboard and instrument clusters. Seating is very reasonable for passengers in the rear who should be able to sit comfortably for long trips. Both the front passenger and driver should be comfortable as well with seats that conform to just about any body type.

Under the hood consumers will enjoy a 2.0 liter four cylinder engine that gives out up to 138 horsepower at 136 pound feet of torque. There is a 5 speed manual transmission that comes standard on basic models, while both higher packages come with an optional 4 speed automatic. For a smaller car, it is capable of doing 0-60 mpg in a modest 8.4 seconds. Fuel economy ranges from 26 mpg city to 35 mpg highway. Those numbers may not be the best in class, but they certainly aren't the worst either.

Standard features for these vehicles include anti-lock disc brakes, head restraints, front airbags, side airbags, and full curtain side airbags. Mixed ratings were given for crash tests reviews with drivers receiving more injuries than most comparable cars. Side impact ratings were very good though and passengers are more than well protected. Stability control and traction control also make it easier for drivers to avoid accidents in the first place.

The 2010 Hyundai Elantra may not be the fanciest car on the market, but it is respectable enough to be mentioned. The price tag alone should intrigue a lot of consumers who are looking for a good amount of accessories at a limited price. Interior quality is best in class for construction of the dashboard, and seating is great as well. While other competitors may get all the hype, the Elantra is a very capable car that has everything consumers will need.
