The Hyundai Elantra GT, a compact hatchback, carries over unchanged for 2020. It competes with the Honda Civic Hatchback, Subaru Impreza Hatchback, and Volkswagen Golf.

The Base and N Line trims both return. Standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, 60/40 split-folding seats, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, a 6-way manual driver’s seat, LED daytime-running lights (DRLs), and satellite radio. The available Style Package ups the content considerably, adding a panoramic sunroof, side-mirror turn signals, leather upholstery, keyless access and start, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, and a sliding armrest.

The N Line trim comes with an aggressive body kit that includes unique front and rear fascias, 18-inch wheels, a multi-link independent rear suspension, LED headlights, leather upholstery, a premium instrument cluster, a rear-console vent, and covered front cupholders. The optional Tech Package gets you navigation, cooled seats, Infinity premium audio, and wireless charging.

The Elantra GT gives you a choice of two powertrains, depending upon trim. The Base trim gets a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine with 161 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic. The N Line spices it up with a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that pumps out 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque and either a 6-speed automatic transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). All Elantra GTs are front-wheel drive (FWD). Fuel economy is 25 mpg city, 32 highway, and 27 combined with the base engine or as high as 25/32/28 with the turbocharged unit.

Every Elantra GT comes standard with a reversing camera and a full suite of airbags. From there, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward-collision warning, lane-keeping assist, high-beam assist, and driver-attention warning are all extra-cost features. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the Elantra GT a Top Safety Pick award in 2019.

I love my 2019 Elantra GT NLine and its starting to be rare to find them it would seem. The cargo capacity in this thing is DECEPTIVE when looking at it from the outside. I am a drummer and I can fit my entire 8-piece drum set in it complete with all the cymbal hardware, my double pedal, my drum throne and cymbal bag and STILL have plenty of sight lines to traffic both blind spot and rear. Its really a fascinating thing. Its nimble and quick when needed and drives like a dream despite the stiffer suspension. Definitely buy one if you are looking to get one!
