The 2011 Hyundai Elantra is turning heads and those that once eyed the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla when looking for a compact sedan are moving towards the 2011 Elantra. Newly redesigned on the inside and out the 2011 Hyundai Elantra is one great compact sedan.

Available as either the 4-door Elantra sedan of the 5-door Elantra Touring the 2011 Elantra is built with style and innovation in mind. The exterior design is based on the 2011 Sonata which has already proved itself in sales since its release a year ago. There is no doubt that the new Elantra will have no trouble keeping up with its older sibling. (more…)

When it comes to mid sized sedans, there are a plethora of different vehicles you can choose from. Each have their strengths and weaknesses but few offer the all round qualities of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata. If you came across or test drove a Hyundai Sonata in the past and weren’t overly impressed, you may want to give the new 2011 model another try. The differences you will see are such that it is no exaggeration to state that, apart from the name badge on the back, this is in fact a completely different vehicle.

If you are looking for a car that’s aesthetically pleasing, spacious, powerful and fuel efficient, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata has got you covered. Designed in Hyundai’s Irvine, California studio the 2011 model sports what is described as a “fluidic sculpture design” making it very pleasing to the eye. The interior is roomy and upscale with a modern looking dashboard and many exciting features that come standard like air conditioning, full power accessories, XM Satellite radio, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and iPod/USB ports. Under the hood, there is now a new 4 cylinder 2.4 Liter 198 horsepower Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine. The new GDI technology is a very exciting new innovation as it provides a means to directly inject fuel into the combustion chamber and provide a more precise amount of fuel into each cylinder. The net result is you have a vehicle that gets class leading fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg in the city, 35 mg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined while still producing more torque and horsepower than some of the well established mid sized sedans like the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord. The new Sonata also gets high marks for safety as it was named a “Top Safety Pick” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. When you then consider that the base price for the GLS trim starts at under $20K, the new Sonata is an excellent bargain. (more…)
