Alexandria, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/18/2011 -- The 2011 Hyundai Elantra has arrived at Alexandria Hyundai, a leading dealer for Alexandria Hyundai shoppers. The 5th generation compact sedan is now available for test-drives and is one of the best and most affordable vehicles around. In the very competitive compact car segment the Elantra continues to be on a fast four-year lifecycle. Car buyers will enjoy the 2011 Elantra for its easy to use features, its bevy of features, and its tremendous affordability.

Alexandria Hyundai shoppers can experience all that is new with the 2011 model year including a sophisticated fluid design, advanced safety features and impressive fuel economy. In terms of appearance, the 2011 Elantra is an evolution of the design qualities found in highly acclaimed Sonata. Along Elantra’s sides are Sonata’s flowing lines, with the addition of a strong undercut feature line starting at the front door.

These lines, along with muscular wheel arches and a sleek roofline, create a memorable and spacious package. Flowing lines also lead to an aerodynamic body. Hyundai Elantra shoppers will be impressed with the estimated 40 MPG that the Elantra achieves on the highway. The 2011 Elantra is more fuel-efficient than the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.

Alexandria Hyundai Elantra Boasts Premium Features

Fuel efficiency makes the 2011 Hyundai Elantra, available for Alexandria Hyundai shoppers, an obvious choice for longer travels and highway driving, but there are plenty of other reasons why Hyundai shoppers of all lifestyles will appreciate the new Elantra. Inside, the 2011 Elantra is spacious, providing class-above mid-size car interior volume, touch-screen navigation with rearview camera and iPod®/USB inputs, Bluetooth® hands-free phone system with voice recognition, and heated rear seats (a segment first).

As part of Hyundai’s assurance commitment, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra, available at Alexandria Hyundai, is packed with advanced safety features, most notably, Vehicle Stability Management (VSM). Similar to the one found in the Hyundai Equus, VSM optimally manages ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and the Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS).

VSM works to control two effects. The first is when a driver accelerates or brakes on a split-mu surface (slippery on one side, dry pavement on the other) and the vehicle wants to pull in one direction. VSM detects this condition and sends a signal to the MDPS to apply steering assist. VSM counters the pull and automatically provides 8 Newton meters of counter steering. VSM reacts the same way during sudden lane changes or fast cornering. ESC is still not standard on the 2011 model year Civic.

This vehicle is a great way to kick those winter blues and be excited. The 2011 Hyundai Elantra will dazzle with its modern features and affordability.
