The 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT arrived as an all-new second U.S. generation, built on the global i30 platform with sharper styling and a more driver-focused interior. Buyers could choose a 2.0L four-cylinder base engine or the Sport's turbocharged 1.6T paired with sport-tuned suspension and 18-inch wheels. Five-door hatchback practicality rounded out the package, making the Elantra GT one of the more versatile compact choices in its class.
