2017 Hyundai Elantra GT
Hyundai has updated the 2017MY Elantra GT by giving the hatchback a host of new infotainment technologies and
an additional styling package.
The infotainment system of the 2017
Elantra GT now supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, allowing owners
the ability to easily sync up their smartphone to the vehicle's screen. This
new features comes within the Tech Package which also includes a rearview
camera, navigation system, cooling front seats and dual-zone climate control.
The new Value Edition package joins
the line-up. Priced at US$ 1,650, it adds a selection of new interior and exterior
features. Most significantly, the Value Edition adds 17-inch alloy wheels,
automatic headlights and a set of fog lights.
Additionally, the package includes a leather wrapped
steering wheel and shift knob, heated leather seats as well as a sliding
armrest. There's also an auto-up driver's power window, push button start and a
proximity key.
While all of these features were previously
available separately on the 2016 model, combining them into one package saves
the customer US$ 1,000.
Everything about the 2017 car remains the
same as the outgoing model. That means the GT continues to be powered by a 2.0-liter
four-cylinder engine delivering 173 hp at 6,500 rpm and 154 lb-ft of torque at
4,700 rpm. Mated to this engine is either a six-speed manual or six-speed
automatic transmission.
