Chicago Hyundai shoppers can experience all that is new with the 2011 model year including a sophisticated fluid design, advanced safety features and impressive fuel economy. In terms of appearance, Elantra is an evolution of the design qualities found in highly acclaimed Sonata. Along Elantra’s sides are Sonata’s flowing lines, with the addition of a strong undercut feature line starting at the front door. These lines, along with muscular wheel arches and a sleek roofline, create a memorable and spacious package. Flowing lines also lead to an aerodynamic body. Chicago Hyundai Elantra shoppers will be impressed with the estimated 40 MPG Elantra achieves on the highway. Elantra is more fuel-efficient than the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.

Chicago Hyundai Elantra Boasts Premium Features

Fuel efficiency makes the Elantra an obvious choice for longer travels and highway driving, but there are plenty of other reasons why Chicago Hyundai shoppers of all lifestyles will appreciate the new Elantra. Inside, the Elantra is spacious, providing class-above mid-size car interior volume, touch-screen navigation with rearview camera and iPod®/USB inputs, Bluetooh® hands-free phone system with voice recognition, and heated rear seats (a segment first).

As part of Hyundai’s assurance commitment, the Elantra is packed with advanced safety features, most notably, Vehicle Stability Management (VSM). Similar to the one found in the Hyundai Equus, VSM optimally manages ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and the Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS).

VSM works to control two effects. The first is when a driver accelerates or brakes on a split-mu surface (slippery on one side, dry pavement on the other) and the vehicle wants to pull in one direction. VSM detects this condition and sends a signal to the MDPS to apply steering assist. VSM counters the pull and automatically provides 8 Newton meters of counter steering. VSM reacts the same way during sudden lane changes or fast cornering. ESC is still not standard on the 2011 model year Civic.

Hyundai Equus Coming this Fall to Chicago Hyundai Dealers

Many Chicago Hyundai shoppers choose Hyundai cars over same class competitors because of Hyundai’s unwavering reliability, commitment to excellence, value quality, and price.  According to Scott Falcone of World Hyundai, the Hyundai brand offers the total package in a price that fits into most lifestyles and budgets.

In the NY Times article, a Chicago-area electrical contractor, is thrilled with his families two Hyundai vehicles and is already eyeing the luxury Equus that is expected to arrive in Chicago Hyundai dealers this month. “This will go head-to-head with the BMWs and Mercedes,” Mr. Harmon said. “If you test-drive all of them with your eyes closed, you’re going to pick the Hyundai.”

Chicago Hyundai Dealers Post Record Sales

The fact that Hyundai has been posting record sales during one of the auto industry’s most difficult periods speaks volumes for the brand.   The Hyundai vehicles are not only affordable and reliable, they are attractive, a key factor for Chicago Hyundai shoppers and one that other automakers have left out of the equation for their price competitive vehicles.

Today’s Chicago Hyundai shoppers aren’t just budget conscious families; they’re luxury care enthusiasts, doctors, lawyers, families, and more.  Hyundai’s 2010 models including the Sonata, Genesis Coupe, Tucson and Santa Fe have helped the brand attract a wider range of buyers ranging from young teens to large families.

The NY Times writes, “…Hyundai and Kia are becoming a serious threat to the Japanese dominance of most passenger car segments,” and World Hyundai in Chicago couldn’t agree more.

Mr. Harmon, the Chicago-area electrical contractor, says, “I don’t care if I pull up next to a Porsche in my Santa Fe, because he spent $110,000 for his, and I spent $30,000 for mine, and I like mine more than his.”
