Compared to the older Elantra, the new one has come a long way
Braking performance has been excellent on our test car and while I drive a bit fast usually, I find the Elantra to be more suited to sedate driving and hence I’ve been taking it easy these days. The suspension is tuned on the stiffer side and while the ride is still good, the suspension thuds when you encounter sharp potholes. The steering is light and feels pretty neutral in terms of feedback though it is vastly improved over the older generation Elantra. All in all, I feel the Elantra makes a lot of sense for people who want a comfortable sedan that offers style and features and aren’t very inclined towards hard driving.

I look forward to exploring the Elantra in more detail over the next few months
What’s Cool
* The styling is super appealing, feels like a million bucks
* The cabin is finished nicely, good equipment on offer
* Feels super easy and convenient to drive
* Makes good sense as a comfortable daily driver
What’s Not So Cool
* The 1.6-litre engine is unexciting in performance
* Low seating position might be an issue for elders

Driving the Elantra is always a very pleasant affair
