| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | In Europe, the Hyundai 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. Compared to the Elantra Touring, the Elantra GT's combined legroom shrinks by over three inches and its cargo volume drops from 65 to 51 cubic feet. The rear seat remains roomier than those in the Ford and Mazda and, owing to a healthy height off the floor, more comfortable than most, but adults no longer have room to stretch. Cargo volume is competitive with the other hatches but no longer rivals that of compact crossovers. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review | |

A comfortable ride. We drove over 500 miles each way on spring break and had no complaints. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review |

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 |

| 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 are 131, 146, and 148 pound-feet, respectively) and feel much more adequate, if still less than sporting, in typical driving. A Hyundai executive promised me that a better engine was on the way. His hints pointed towards a 2.0-liter non-turbo, perhaps the 173-horsepower, 154-pound-feet-of-torque engine offered in the 2014 Kia Forte. This engine cannot arrive too soon. A B&M-supplied short-throw shifter was among the things that made the Elantra Touring fun to drive. It's absent in the Elantra GT. Perhaps it will return when the engine is upgraded? see full Hyundai Elantra GT review | ||

Acceleration is fine. Do not bother with the -shiftable- automatic. Just leave the transmission in D, it will not accept your input much anyway. We normally leave the car in Eco since we do not drive it like we stole it. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review |

The engine is an average performer and competitive with other cars in the class such as the Ford Focus or Chevy Sonic. While no barn burner it will merge on the highway with ease. Keep the revs above 3000rpm to hit the motor's torque band when accelerating. The engine is quiet at idle and I've had to check the tachometer several times to be sure it was running. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review |
