Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2013 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
