The Elantra GT 2018 has everything you want. I can’t claim to understand all the fine details of car design, but I can tell you that we were impressed. We’d seen the unveiling of the first Elantra. This version is even sportier and promises all the cargo room you crave with the drivability you’d expect from a sports car. All this in a hatchback.
Hyundai has really listened to their customers. There is more room in the trunk for storing what you need. 25 cubic feet and with the seats folded down in the back, you can garner 55 cubic feet. That is enough space to move your college bound teen to school in one trip.
We’re saying that this hatchback has your back. Hyundai is confident that not only will you want to drive this car, but that it will be up to our Chicago winter standards. With improved BlueLink technology that allows you to have one touch control over multiple features. BlueLink technology also means that your Amazon Echo or Alexa can remote start your car from inside the comfort of your own home. Like climate controls, you can set your Elantra GT to be the temperature you want on the inside. The remote start includes defrost of the rear window and the side mirrors. So, all the pesky spots that you have trouble clearing snow, those are now a thing of the past.
With safety features like blind spot detection with rear cross view alerts, high beam assist, and pedestrian detection automatic emergency braking the Elantra GT is not lacking. Along with wireless device charging up to the size of an iPhone 7 Plus and smartphone integration for apple or android, this hatchback is smart anywhere you go. From the city to the country, Hyundai has given you all the features to make this car fit your lifestyle when you need it.
