Boasting the most interior room in its class, the security of America’s Best Warranty, an economical 35 miles per gallon on the highway, and the customer service of World Hyundai Matteson your Chicago Chicago Hyundai Dealership, the versatile 2010 Hyundai Elantra is an easy choice for those born with more intelligence than money. The longer you drive it, the more you’ll love it.
Trim from the outside, the Hyundai Elantra offers the most interior space (cargo & passenger) among the core competitive set and the most interior volume in its class – 112 .1 cubic feet. It’s so spacious, in fact, that the government classifies it as a midsize car, though it measures (and is priced) like a compact. In fact often times we have Hyundai Sonata customers seeing how much room the Elantra has and moving into this car from the Sonata.
Yet numbers, as they usually do, only tell part of the story. What truly sets the versatile Elantra apart is the utter versatility of its space, and the thoughtful little conveniences that help make the interior less like a car cabin and more like a living room.
There is, for instance, an unbelievably handy foldaway hook beside the front passenger seat that is perfect for purses, backpacks, or briefcases.
For storage, no less than ten easy-to-reach compartments have been placed throughout the interior of the Elantra. These include an in-dash storage box, a center console, front door map pockets, and dual seatback pockets, which we’ve seen used for snacks, laptops, and an outfield’s worth of baseball mitts.
When it comes to features, the Hyundai Elantra SE is hardly stingy. Just like the service at World Hyundai Matteson! Overwhelming!
Sport-tuned steering and suspension, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System (TCS), and remote keyless entry all come standard. So do a leather-wrapped tilt-and- telescopic steering wheel, 16-in alloy wheels, Trip computer, air conditioning, and a crisp six-speaker 172-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3/XM® audio system, iPod®/USB and MP3 auxiliary input jack. Make the comparison to the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla and you’ll be sold on the spot. The only words to describe those two cars is “spartan”.
There’s also cruise control, dual power heated side mirrors, and handy steering wheel-mounted audio controls. Wow.
Should you get the urge to upgrade, the available Premium Package adds a power sunroof, and heated front seats. Adding the sunroof makes the car feel even bigger too!
Value has rarely looked or felt so good. And buying yours from Joliet Hyundai Dealer, World Hyundai Matteson will feel even better.
Drive a Hyundai Elantra around Chicago for a few minutes and you become aware of something that isn’t listed on the window sticker: a sense of ease.
Look around the quiet cabin and you’ll notice that the dials are clear, well-placed, and easy to read. The numerous storage areas are likewise intuitively placed, and the radio is situated high so you needn’t take your eyes off the road while switching radio stations. More safety than than you’ll notice, but the right amount that you may need. Hyundai is thinking about you and your family.
What you’re experiencing, of course, is the power of well-implemented ergonomics.
As the Elantra was being developed, its essential usability was studied over the course of demanding 100,000-mile test-drives. Numerous focus groups weighed in on minutiae like the placement of buttons, the positioning of vents, and the angling of seats.
The result? A car that needs to be felt as much as it is seen. And feel how good it is getting your new or certified pre-driven Elantra from your Chicago Hyundai Dealer, World Hyundai.
Of course, our engineers are hardly ones to rest on their laurels. They’re constantly looking for ways to refine and improve the driver experience, which is why Hyundai has partnered with some of the finest universities in the world to help us study ergonomics further. That continuing research is leading to ever better ways to design control panels, seats, trunk spaces, and, well, who knows what else. After all, engines and transmissions are hardly the only things that can push a car forward.
Would it surprise you to learn that the Hyundai Elantra’s eye-catching paint job may well be its toughest feature?
Far from being merely decorative, it actually increases durability—repelling sun, snow, and rain—while reducing corrosion.
The key is how the Elantra’s body is prepped for painting.
During manufacturing, its unibody is electrically charged and immersed in a bath of primer with an opposing electrical charge. Opposites attract, as the adage goes, and the chemical reaction pulls primer into even the tiniest nooks and hidden surfaces, resulting in a peerless, long-term resistance to corrosion. Such painstaking care then allows the following coats of paint to bond as tightly as possible, creating a luminous, chip-resistant surface.
It takes significantly more time to do it this way, but then, doesn’t anything that’s worth doing well?
The Hyundai Elantra is an amazing value and we are proud to be your Chicago Hyundai Dealership that offers a great selection of new and pre-driven Elantras to our guests. For more information call 866-574-6156 or email us at sales@worldhyundaimatteson.com
