Hyundai Elantra 2017 GTA 5

The Hyundai Elantra 2017 is the 6th generation of the Hyundai Elantra lineup. Hyundai Started its production in 2015 and it continued until 2020. In 2019 this model received a facelift ( Hyundai Elantra 2019 ) which was received with mixed reviews.

Arguably, this model of Elantra started the ‘fastback’ design trend which you can now see in the latest Elantra 2021 model. This car was manufactured in many countries including the United States, China, India, Russia, Algeria, Pakistan, and some others.

Being the successor of the Elantra i35 ( the 5th generation ) it had pretty big shoes to fill in. The previous generation set much higher standards for Hyundai and showed that it can be considered as the alternative option to Toyota and Honda in terms of reliability. 

Comparing sales numbers in the USA, the Elantra AD sold 208,000 units in 2016 which is lower than the previous year ( 241,000 ). Although these numbers alone do not mean that the Elantra AD was a worse car compared to the i35 ( or MD ). You have to consider that people are much more interested in SUVs / Crossovers lately. 

Judging by the overall design and interior quality I’d say Hyundai did a good job with this car.

The most powerful engine released for the Elantra AD (which was available from 2017 until 2020 ) is a 1.6 Liter T-GDi that is capable of producing 201 horsepower. That makes this car reach a top speed of 210 Km/h and a 0-100 km/h in 8.0 seconds.
