While the 2011 Elantra sedan is all-new and flaunts Hyundai's new design language, the Touring will remain in its current form for all of 2011, and likely for the 2012 model year as well.
Final Thoughts
Our tester’s interior was finished in black, with faux aluminum trim. The feel on the inside is consistent with the whole vehicle — practicable and good value for its asking price.
So while the Touring is not an over-achiever in any parameter, it would be an entirely welcome addition to any small family. And there are lots of families who already feel that way.
Hyundai Canada’s VP of marketing, John Vermile, notes that sales of Touring are up 20 percent over last year (when it was first introduced). He adds that many customers “come into our dealerships to look at the Elantra sedan and leave with the Elantra Touring.”
