TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT

2014 Hyundai Elantra GT Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Like the Elantra Touring which it replaced, the Elantra GT shares few if any visible parts with the Elantra coupe and sedan. Instead, both cars are essentially the European-market Hyundai i30 rebadged and slightly retuned for North American consumption. In Europe, the i30 is offered in two lengths, a hatch and an estate (the Queen's English for "wagon"). With the Elantra Touring, we got the estate. Perhaps because not enough people bought an Elantra Touring, Hyundai decided we'd readily trade functionality for styling. So with the Elantra GT we get the hatchback. While adults no longer have room to stretch, the Elantra GT's rear seat remains roomier than those in the Mazda3 and Ford Focus, but can't quite match the Kia Forte5's interior dimensions. Actually, Mazda claims more rear legroom in its car, but this particular spec seems well out of sync with reality. Even if this wasn't the case, specs aren't everything. Owing to a healthy height off the floor, the Hyundai's rear seat might be the most comfortable in the segment (unless you're tall enough to require more than the modest amount of headroom). A bonus for rear-seat passengers: the Tech Package includes the segment's only panoramic sunroof. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review

2013	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Room enough for up to 6 foot adults. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review
2013	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	A comfortable ride. We drove over 500 miles each way on spring break and had no complaints. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review
2013	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Coming from a Volvo the seats are firm in comparison. They aren't the hard pans Honda seems to favor though with good side bolsters, quality cloth that should wear well and decent lumbar support(not adjustable in base). Headrests are adjustable for vertical movement but not forward or back. Driving & Visibility see full Hyundai Elantra GT review
