For many years the compact sedan market was the beacon of affordability and efficiency. As time as gone on compact sedans have retained their token affordability, but have added more of the modern conveniences that shoppers expect. Now, many of these models are beginning to offer more performance options that make driving these cars more exciting than ever.

One model that embodies this new goal is the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport. As a trim choice of the popular Hyundai Elantra, the Sport trim adds quite a bit to make this more than an appearance package. Yes, right away the new styling is noticeable with an entirely new body kit that gives this model a much more aggressive and athletic look than a regular model.

The big change for this trim is not on the outside, or the inside, but under the hood. Under this hood you will find a brand new 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque that is more than enough power to make this car thrilling. But, the new engine is not the only great thing that Hyundai added, they also added a new multi-link rear suspension set-up that gives smoother and more responsive handling than before. Altogether, this new model makes driving fun again.

The 2017 Hyundai Elantra is stylish and modern compact sedan, but the new Sport trim breathes a new life into this model. Come on over to Jenkins Hyundai in Bridgeport, WV, where our staff can help you find your next compact sedan.
