Why This Car Is Special

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring we have here at Skyway Classics is a spacious compact hatchback with surprisingly sophisticated road manners.

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra "Touring" indicates that it's a hatchback, and a pretty good one in fact as magazine reviews were very positive about these being a great car.

As for those virtues, practicality is certainly number one. Its passenger space is generous and its cargo area is absolutely enormous. Compared to other small hatchbacks, the Touring is roomier than just about all of them. It can even hold more stuff than some compact crossover SUVs.

Mechanical

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-4 engine with an output of 138 horsepower and 136 pound-feet of torque with a four-speed automatic. An Elantra Touring can reach 60 mph from a standstill in 8.7 seconds, a respectable showing.

The EPA estimates fuel economy at 23 mpg city/31 mpg highway and 26 mpg for combined driving with a manual transmission, while automatic-transmission models get 23/30/26 mpg.

All 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring models include antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints and in brake testing of an Elantra Touring, it came to a stop from 60 mph in 120 feet -- a short distance for this class.

Interior

Our Elantra Touring's interior has raised the bar significantly over previous models. The dashboard's simple gauges and controls are easy to see and operate and the cabin gets good marks in terms of space, with adult-sized headroom and legroom in both the front and rear seats.

Not surprisingly there's an abundance of cargo room here too, including 24 cubic feet with the rear seats up and an impressive 65 cubic feet with them folded down, a number that's on par with some small crossover SUVs.

Ours has a grey twin bucket seat interior with matching rear seating and most of the niceties that modern SUV shoppers want including air conditioning, power steering and brakes, cruise control, keyless entry, tilt steering wheel, six-speaker sound system with a CD player, Auxiliary audio jack, an iPod/USB audio interface and satellite radio, and a large cargo capacity

Exterior

The 2012 has the great black factory paint job on it that looks brand new with a futuristic looking front and rear fascias, painted front and rear features, nice glass, trim, and Alloy Wheels with blackwall radial tires.

Another pleasant surprise is the nicely tuned suspension, which produces good handling and a combination of decent ride quality and a quiet cabin only add to the overall driving experience.

Conclusion

It's almost impossible to beat the looks and value of the 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring we have here at Skyway Classics. Hyundai's sales have rocketed as the company has improved the quality and variety of its vehicles and it shows on this Elantra.
