Introducing the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport

The 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport is capturing people's attention because of its beauty, dynamic technology, power, and how fun it is to drive. Hyundai took the Elantra and upgraded it to include a Sport trim, and it has been a great achievement. (There's a reason it was named one of Wards 10 Best, after all.) The Elantra Sport comes with a standard six-speed manual transmission with an MSRP of only $21,650, but you can also opt for a 7-speed DCT and paddle shifters for just $1,100 more. Of course, both are subject to an additional destination charge.

With the base model, you'll get a 1.6L Turbo-GDI engine that produces 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, the Elantra Sport comes with a model-exclusive multi-link rear suspension, higher spring and damper rates, revised steering, and upgraded brakes.

You’ll also get award-winning convenience and comfort technology, including AM/FM/HD/SiriusXM®, seven-inch Display Audio system with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™, HID headlights, and a proximity key with push button start. The available Premium Package includes an 8” navigation system, eight-speaker Infinity premium audio system with Clari-Fi™ Music restoration technology, Blue Link connectivity, Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-traffic Alert & Lane Change Assist, dual automatic temperature control with auto defogger, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink® and a compass.

 “With Elantra Sport, we deliver a relentlessly fun daily driver that offers unprecedented performance for the Elantra nameplate,” said Mike Evanoff, product manager for the Elantra lineup. “Just as importantly, Sport continues Elantra’s superb value story by offering a compelling mix of standard and available equipment at pricing that undercuts rival sports sedans in its category. With Elantra Sport’s arrival, we are able to offer an Elantra for every type of driving personality.”
