2009 Hyundai Elantra Review

Stylish, roomy, great warranty, good value.
Lineup
The 2009 Hyundai Elantra comes in four-door sedan and the five-door Touring, with the sedan available in the base GLS version or the upgrade SE. All are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 138 horsepower, and there's a choice of a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.

The GLS ($14,120) is the most basic and comes standard with power steering, power locks, windows and keyless entry, power heated mirrors, tinted glass, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat with access to the trunk, and 15-inch wheels with full-size plastic wheel covers. The Popular Equipment Package for the GLS ($1,750) includes things that many car buyers might consider necessary: Air conditioning, 172-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3 sound system with XM Satellite Radio, cruise control, foglamps, in-glass antenna and illuminated visor vanity mirrors. The Popular Equipment and Sunroof Package ($2,650) adds the power sunroof.

The SE ($17,020) is the upgrade model and includes all the options in the GLS Preferred Package, plus a telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, 16-inch alloy wheels with wider profile tires and a trip computer. A Premium Package ($1,150) includes a power sunroof and heated front seats. The Premium and Leather Package ($1,950) adds leather seating surfaces.

Cleaner-running PZEV versions (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) are sold in California, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine; they have the automatic transmission and are available in GLS ($15,120) and SE ($17,820) trim.

Elantra Touring ($17,800) is equipped like the SE sedan. Touring also features a cooled glovebox, under-floor storage in the rear and cupholders in the rear armrest. The rear seat is split 60/40 and folds down to provide more space for hauling larger items. A Premium-Sport Package ($1,500) adds 17-inch alloy wheels with P215/45VR17 tires, the power sunroof and heated front seats.

Safety features on all Elantras include anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, roof-mounted side-curtain airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, adjustable head restraints, LATCH (for child safety seats), front active head restraints, and tire-pressure monitoring. The SE sedan and the Touring models also include standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control and Brake Assist; the ESC system is not available with the base GLS model.
