2018 Elantra GT Sport Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh If a new entrant to a performance-oriented category wants to be taken seriously, it better punch above its weight. The Hyundai Elantra GT does not. Its turbocharged 201-horsepower 1.6-liter is a parity engine.

2013 Hyundai Elantra GT Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Elantra GT doesn't share exterior or interior panels with the Elantra sedan, but it does share a buzzy, under-performing, not remotely "GT-worthy" 148-horsepower, 1.8-liter engine. The 2.0-liter engines in the Ford and Mazda don't offer much more peak power (160, 155), but have substantially stronger midranges (peak torque ratings... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Ford Focus |
