Hyundai Elantra (2012-2021)

In busy Riyadh traffic I’ve been driving the Hyundai Elantra for daily commuting, and, it’s a relief to own. The 1.6‑liter engine may not be the strongest, but it’s reliable and economical, which matters most for daily trips. The suspension is soft enough to handle speed bumps and uneven roads. Inside, the cabin feels wider than I expected, and the AC cools quickly, which is a huge plus in our heat. While it won’t thrill you with speed, the Elantra gives you exactly what you need: comfort, low running cost, and a smooth everyday drive. Perfect for city life

When it comes to Sedan what really matters the most is the comfort, and the Elantra offers just that, very relaxing and enjoyable across all types of terrains in KSA. With a nice spacious cabin with a luxurious feel and a lot of features, the seats are very premium and with ventilated and heated front seats is cool. For convenience there are power-adjustable and electric folding mirrors, cruise control, keyless entry, and a remote, all these features make life easy. Generally, Hyudai is always considered ahead when it comes to offering features in its cars.

The Hyundai Elantra is a great choice in its segment with a lot on offer including its advanced safety suite, keeping you safer and also hassle-free. With forward collision-avoidance assist and blind-spot detection means you can drive confidently. The Elantra also offers fuel-efficient engine options, particularly the hybrid which gives a promised mileage of 26.7 km/l, this brings down the running cost significantly. This SUV is also quite smooth to drive with refined handling which makes it an awesome choice for city commutes and highway cruising in KSA. Overall, the Elantra is a combination of innovation, safety, and efficiency.

The Elantra is an impressive car, especially for young people and small families. Its exterior design is bold and modern, with a front grille that adds a touch of elegance. Inside, the technology is fantastic; you can easily connect your phone and enjoy all your favorite apps. The wireless charging pad eliminates messy cables, and the Blue Link system allows remote control of the car. Fuel efficiency is excellent, which is crucial given rising fuel prices, and the air conditioning is highly effective against the heat. Spare parts are readily available, and mechanics are familiar with it, ensuring hassle-free maintenance.

I bought the Elantra last month after a close tie between Toyota Corolla, it was a difficult choice but ultimately, Hyundai prevailed over Toyota. I think the Elantra is just a better packaged, well-equipped and nicely designed sedan in the segment. The price wasn’t a big issue, they are almost similar brackets but when compared, Elantra suited me more than Corolla. This is pretty clear from the driver of over a month now, I just love the handling of the Elantra, Hyundai has done a lot better improvement in this Sedan. I like the touch screen, super connectivity and very comfortable, luxurious cabin with soft seats.

My cousin, who is not only a great fan of Sedan but also Hyundai and so he purchased the new Elantra about two months ago. And, I happened to spend a good amount of time with the car, went for a long 3 day drive, and also did quite city driving here in Jeddah. Although I saw the Elantra before, with such a closer look and time with the Sedan, I got impressed with the way Hyundai has refined this sedan. It has good cabin features, comfort and safety, and boot space along with brilliant driving dynamics. I quickly found out why my cousin really loves Hyundai cars.

At a starting price of under SAR90K and top variants under SAR 120K for this premium luxury sedan of Hyundai is a big bargain. The Elantra has the aura of luxury, elegant design and comfort, aside from the proven 2L petrol engine that gives you a solid 147hp of power and super 180 Nm of torque. These figures are sufficient to take this Sedan to everyday city drive, and even ideal for highway drive, and you get decent mileage even with the luxury and comfort. The car is smooth to drive with enough power and the 7-speed automatic is smooth. Hyundai has kept the Elantra true to its character.

One of my favorite Hyundai sedans which now get even better after the 2024 updates. After waiting on the sideline for a few months, I finally purchased the Elantra for mostly family use and leisure drives. What sealed the deal for me, was the much-needed revamp that Hyundai made in this latest facelift. The interior has gotten even nicer now, and you will notice the significant upmarket feel you get inside this sedan with improved quality of materials. I think the driving dynamics have improved with the softer suspension, easy steering, and fine-tuned engine.

After getting to a stage in my life where everything seemed figured out, I was unable to decided on one thing and it was buying a car for myself. After a lot of inquiries and test drives ii bought Hyundai Elantra. Honestly, it was my first choice because nowadays sedan is a luxury in itself and secondly, I was quite attracted to looks and third, it has everything with utmost comfort and affordability then why to go and spend more for something is which is meaningless. Apart from this one thing which I respect and love about Hyundai’s Elantra is its comfort during long hour journeys.
