The Hyundai Elantra is also available in a compact five-door model. The Elantra GT is similar in size to competitive models like the Toyota Matrix, Kia Forte, Mazda Mazda3, and Ford Focus. These models are defined by their four full-sized side doors and large hatchback. A 173-bhp, 2.0l four-cylinder engine is the only engine available. Offered in only one trim level, the Elantra GT includes power windows, power locks, keyless remote entry, four wheel disc brakes and alloy wheels as standard equipment.

A new 2.0l four-cylinder engine becomes the new standard engine.
