Official information about the 2011 Hyundai Elantra

Today the all-new 2011 Hyundai Elantra has been launched at the 2010 Los Angeles Show. The car now comes with a fluid design, the same kind used on the new Tucson and Sonata.

On the inside, the car will feature solid materials and a very useful center stack which has a circular button that operates a few of the climate controls. The car also has leather, a power sunroof and heated front and rear seats as standard. Also as standard, the car offers ESC (electronic stability control) and 15 inch wheels. Optional, you can get 16 or 17 inch wheels. The entry-level model will be priced at $15,550, and the top model will set you back $22,700.
