The 2017 Hyundai Elantra SR is a warm small sedan – but will buyers warm to it?
The all-new Hyundai Elantra pushes the small sedan segment forward in a number of ways.
The 2016 Hyundai Elantra is an appreciable step up on its predecessor, and is one of the best small sedans on sale today.
Small sedans are generally not quite as popular as small hatchbacks in Australia. The newly released Toyota Corolla sedan is expected to snare only a 20 per cent share of the nameplate’s sales this year, while the Hyundai Elantra is outsold by its i30 sibling five-to-one...

Read the full article here. Who on earth wants a small, warmed-up sedan like this – the 2017 Hyundai Elantra SR Turbo? According to Hyundai Australia, there’s a chance that several thousand people do. In fact, the Elantra SR Turbo’s competitive set – including the Mazda 3 SP25, Nissan Pulsar SSS, Holden Cruze SRi-V and the recently released Honda Civic – accounts for a decent share of small car sales...
It was only July when the Honda Civic VTi-S outshone both the Skoda Octavia Ambition and Hyundai Elantra Active. Here though, we have just two rivals going head-to-head: the 2016 Honda Civic RS and 2017 Hyundai Elantra SR Turbo. And, based on their most recent individual reviews – the Civic RS scoring 8/10 from Mike Costello, the Elantra SR Turbo scoring the same from Matt Campbell – this has the potential to be a rather close-fought little battle...
Demand for small sedans has been a little stagnant of late, with people increasingly drawn to hatchbacks and crossover SUVs. Nevertheless, the battle for sales supremacy in this traditional part of the market is intensely fought, and there is no lack of quality options...
There have been some big rivalries in the world of cars over the years, but the Hyundai Elantra versus Mazda 3 battle is probably one that hasn’t stood out to most people. This is not a thrilling pairing...

Hyundai has wheeled out another hotted-up show car ahead of the SEMA show later this month - the BTR Edition Elantra Sport concept. Designed in conjunction with Blood Type Racing, the BTR Edition builds on the standard Elantra Sport – known as the SR Turbo in Australia – platform with some fairly serious performance upgrades...

But, it’s also critical you know how to use the brake. In this episode, Australian rally icon and Global Rallycross driver Chris Atkinson hits the track in the new 150kW/265Nm turbocharged 1...
I had a Ford Territory and always owned Australian-made, and now that I do not have that option and my lifestyle has changed, I decided to go with what best suits my lifestyle and the best value for my hard-earned dollar without breaking the bank. My partner purchased an i30 and I was impressed driving that, but needed something bigger...
Background In 2016, I decided to trade in my manual Alfa Romeo for an automatic, as my wife wasn't too comfortable with manual transmissions. We were looking for something in the vicinity of $30–$40K, not a hatchback (wife doesn't like them) and with a bit of poke. After much contemplation, we ended up with an A3, a base WRX and the recently launched Elantra SR...
About every three or so years, the yearning starts for a sportier looking car, some sleek coupe befitting my receding hair and growing flabbiness. I pitch an initial budget somewhere between a mid-range Audi, Jag or two-year old BMW with low mileage, and commence the test drives. The A5, XE and 428is are all fun, but somewhat underwhelming, then the frugal little angel over my shoulder starts in on me...
About a month ago I read an owner review of the 2016 Hyundai Elantra. This would be an unremarkable car for most readers of this site, but given that I have inherited a 2005 Hyundai Elantra as my “daily driver” (this car currently clocks up less than 5,000km per year, but I’ll get onto that later), I read this review with awe and amazement about what an accomplished car it is when compared to its ancestor...
