New or Significantly Altered Models
- 2011 Hyundai Elantra
- The Elantra has been redesigned for 2011. A stylish new exterior is wrapped around a vehicle that has grown by 2 inches in wheelbase and 1 inch in overall length. The new Elantra is also a couple of inches shorter, which explains the slight drop in interior volume. A new smaller displacement 1.8l four cylinder is more powerful and fuel-efficient than the previous 2.0l was.
- 2011 Hyundai Equus
- 2011 Hyundai Sonata
- The sixth generation Sonata wears dramatic new styling outside and in. The new model eschews six-cylinder engines for an all four-cylinder lineup. The new exterior styling has long sweeping roofline with a small rear deck. The sides feature strong styling lines with incorporated door handles. The new model has grown by almost 3 inches in wheelbase. Most models are powered by a 2.4l four-cylinder engine mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
