 A compact car with style - the 2012 Elantra Power and fuel-efficiency united through technology. A lightweight, high-tech engine helps Elantra achieve the best power-to-weight in its class and standard 40 MPG, highway. That’s better than the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. The 2012 Elantra breaks years of compact car complacency. 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Elantra’s sophisticated 6-speed SHIFTRONIC® automatic transmission uses new technology to improve durability and reduce weight. The result is greater fuel efficiency with smooth acceleration for the highway, while balancing power and comfort for in-town traffic. 1.8L, 4-CYLINDER D-CVVT Elantra’s engine features Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT), which improves breathing on the intake, and exhaust camshafts that help lower emissions to provide better fuel economy. MPG With its exceptionally low coefficient of drag (0.28), a highly efficient 4-cylinder engine, and a responsive 6-speed transmission, the Elantra goes farther with less. 40 MPG Hwy standard—more fuel-efficient than the Civic, Corolla and Focus. A car so safe, it scares the competition. Vehicle Stability Management system The comprehensive Vehicle Stability Management system links and optimizes the function of all active and passive safety features. It incorporates ESC, TCS and ABS in potential collision situations. Electronic Stability Control NHTSA studies show passenger cars equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) experience 35% fewer single-vehicle crashes, and 30% fewer single-vehicle fatalities. ESC sensors measure the difference between a driver’s intended path—when a turn is less or more than intended—and applies appropriate braking force to individual wheels to help regain control. ESC also includes Traction Control System (TCS), which reduces wheelspin when accelerating. Traction Control System By reducing wheelspin in various adverse traction conditions, including inclement weather, Traction Control gives more stable and predictable acceleration characteristics for a more confident, controlled driving experience. Anti-lock Braking System Emergency braking can cause a vehicle’s wheels to lock up and skid, resulting in loss of steering control exactly when you need it most. ABS helps prevent the possibility of wheel lockup under hard braking, and helps you retain steering control as you come to a stop.
