2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited Review

I love driving new cars. Seeing the different features and learning all about them. I hadn’t had the chance to test drive the Hyundai Elantra before, so I was excited to get the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited for review! The car is beautiful inside and out. They sleek style of the body combined with the innovative features and driving style make it a hot pick for it’s class size. It is “Not just new. Better”. The 2017 Elantra is unexpectedly packed with so many features you will need to write them all down to remember what they are. From safety features to comfort, and things that improve your overall driving experience – you will not want a different car after you have drove this one.

Some of the basics you will get with the Hyundai Elantra SE models are :

7-inch color touchscreen display audio
Android Auto^™ & Apple CarPlay^™
Rearview camera with dynamic guidelines
Automatic headlight control
16-inch alloy wheels with P205/55R16 tires
Steering-wheel-mounted audio/cruise controls
Cruise control
Bluetooth^® hands-free phone system
Heated exterior mirrors
Hood insulator
Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-traffic Alert
3.5-inch TFT monochromatic cluster display
Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
Dual automatic temperature control with Auto Defogging System
Proximity Key with push button start
Hands-free smart trunk
Door handle approach lights
Heated front seats

And you can top it all off with the Hyundai Elantra LIMITED packages which include:

Navigation system with 8-inch touchscreen
Infinity^® Premium Audio with 8 speakers including center channel and subwoofer
Clari-fi^™ Music Restoration Technology
4.2-inch color instrument cluster display
Power tilt-and-slide sunroof

HID headlights with Dynamic Bending Light
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection
Smart Cruise Control (SCC)
Lane Departure Warning
Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS)
Integrated Memory System (IMS) for driver’s seat and exterior mirrors
Automatic High Beam Assist

After driving it for a week, we fell in love with the Automatic High Beam Assist – where it automatically dims the headlights and then puts them back on bright if there is a car coming and and after it passes. I always love the SCC (Smart Cruise Control) and the IMS for the seats.

The 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited is packed with a 147 horsepower engine that gets up and goes. With three different driving modes (Sport, ECO and normal) you will find that you can fit any scenario into this car. Long road tips, city driving, or even commuting. The leather seats with the heaters and the spacious leg room in the back make you want to get comfortable and enjoy the ride.
