A rundown of the 2018 Hyundai Elantra HD
Tags:
The Hyundai Elantra HD is actually a previous-generation model of the Elantra that is on sale in Egypt. Based on the “HD” Elantra produced from 2006-2010, this car still has all kinds of goodies that make it a great choice for those looking for a new compact car. A decade since it first went on sale, the 2018 Hyundai Elantra HD is still one of the best cars in Egypt.
Exterior
The Elantra HD’s looks do not deviate much from the 2006-2010 Hyundai Elantra model. A quick look at the car and it’s easy to see that its design is a bit on the older side. Sure, it is elegant, but there is nothing flashy at all about it. It is easy to say that this is perhaps the weakest point in the Elantra HD’s resume, but that’s a matter of subjective debate.

Come inside, and the 2018 Hyundai Elantra HD will treat you with one of the best interiors in its class. One of the things that make this car stand out is its space.

And while there are some cheap materials used, the interior trim is excellent in general.
Features
The Hyundai Elantra HD comes with a wealth of standard features. It has full power accessories and keyless entry. Safety equipment that comes standard includes antilock brakes, airbags, and active front seat headrests.

Specs
The only engine available for this model is Hyundai’s 1.6-liter engine that produces a maximum of 121 horsepower and 156 Nm of torque. This engine is linked to a 4-speed automatic transmission. And while its performance can be described as pedestrian, it is more than mitigated by its excellent fuel efficiency. The suspension setting is just right, able to absorb road imperfections well while maintaining a composed ride when taking on twisty corners.
Verdict
While this is based on an old model, the 2018 Hyundai Elantra HD still has the goods to make an impression to riders everywhere. Don’t let its plain looks fool you. It is a car that brings a lot of practicality and features to the table.
