Hyundai Motors Launches Lew Elantra In Ghana

Hyundai Motor under the dealership of Stallion Motors Ghana limited has announced the 2016 Elantra , featuring product improvements and new value-focused packaging updates.

The 2016 new modelled Elantra continues to offer its high value proposition as a strong choice for shoppers in this highly-competitive segment, validated by several coveted accolades over the model’s lifecycle.

At a brief media launch in Accra, Santhosh Kumar Nair explained that, in addition, the Limited model now comes with more standard features and maintains the same starting MSRP of the previous model year while Elantra Sport gets a lower starting price with the removal of standard leather and power sunroof.

According to the manufacturer, Elantra Value Edition provides a US$1,000 value savings by bundling attractive features at just US$550 more than an Elantra SE with the Popular Equipment Package: Unique 16” alloy wheels; Power tilt-and-slide sunroof; Leather steering wheel and shift knob; Proximity key w/ push button start; Heated front seats; Chrome beltline molding & aluminum entrance sills; Side mirror turn signals; and Tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel.

“The Elantra Limited now comes standard with proximity key with push-button start and dual automatic temperature control.

Elantra exemplifies Hyundai’s emotional “Fluidic Sculpture” design principles. “Fluidic Sculpture” considers the interplay of wind with rigid surfaces to create the illusion of constant motion. Along Elantra’s sides are flowing lines that join a strong undercut feature line starting at the front door. These lines, along with muscular wheel arches and a sleek roofline, create a memorable and spacious package. Flowing lines also lead to an aerodynamic body. The drag coefficient for the Elantra sedan line-up is an exceptionally low 0.28.”

“Hyundai’s signature hexagonal front grille and detailed swept-back headlights give Elantra a compact athletic face, emboldened by an open-mouth lower bumper, grille, L-shaped foglights and available projector headlamps with LED accents. Its athletic stance is further complemented by available 17-inch alloy wheels. Side mirrors available with integrated turn signals and LED taillights complete the distinct and premium look,” the manufacturer has explained.

The brochure of the new model Elantra emphasize that, “under the hood, Elantra offers two engine choices. A 1.8-liter Nu four-cylinder engine that outputs 145 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque is standard on SE, Value Edition and Limited trims. The Elantra offers a standard 2.0-liter Nu GDI engine producing 173 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 154 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,700 rpm (166 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque for Elantra Sport PZEV). This engine gives 28 more horsepower (+ 19 percent) and 24 lb.-ft. of torque (+19 percent) compared to the 1.8-liter Nu engine. The engine also delivers more torque from 4,000 rpm to 5,500 rpm for impressive linear power delivery all the way to redline. The Elantra with the 2.0-liter GDI engine and six-speed automatic transmission achieves an EPA estimated 24 city/35 highway/28 combined mpg.”
