FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., May 17, 2011 – ConsumerSearch.com, a Web site that recommends the best products based on an analysis of expert and user-generated consumer product reviews, rated the
2011 Hyundai Elantra as its “Best Reviewed” economy sedan. Elantra leads a wave of four Hyundai models that achieve 40 miles-per-gallon highway fuel economy standard, and tops the competitive compact sedan segment. Coupled with modern design, outstanding quality and high-tech content at an outstanding price point, it’s no surprise that Elantra sales have jumped 89 percent year-to-date.
“The completely redesigned 2011 Hyundai Elantra represents such a big improvement over its predecessor that it has become the best-reviewed economy sedan available,” said ConsumerSearch editors. “Reviewers are unequivocal in their adoration of the Elantra's distinctive styling, good ride, upscale options, high-quality interior and exceptional fuel efficiency. It is the combination of these qualities, paired with very competitive pricing that makes it a reviewer favorite.”
ConsumerSearch took a variety of reviews into consideration during its Best Reviewed vehicle selection, including comments from Autoblog.com,
Automobile Magazine,
Detroit News, About.com and Edmunds.com.
“The 2011 Hyundai Elantra offers a superior combination of fuel efficiency, value, quality, performance and comfort,” said Brandon Ramirez, senior manager of product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Elantra is at the core of Hyundai’s fuel economy strategy and truly stands out in the competitive compact segment with ‘class-above’ mid-size car interior volume, a new 1.8-liter ‘Nu’ engine mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission with an EPA estimated 40 mpg highway and a low starting price point of $14,945.”
The 2011 Elantra represents a modern approach to the traditional compact sedan segment featuring a sleek style, advanced safety features, and standard 40 mpg highway fuel economy.
