Take a look at why this car besides being recent and gorgeous is so interesting: THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T ACTUALLY A TRADITIONAL AUTOMATIC Despite "6AT" in its name this vehicle actually uses a Hyundai Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) which is a CVT. This helps improve fuel efficiency but can confuse people who expect a conventional 6-speed automatic. OUTSTANDING FUEL ECONOMY With the IVT it gets up to 41 mpg highway making it one of the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid sedans in its class. NO TURBO BUT IT'S LIGHTER THAN TURBO MODELS The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine (147 hp) may not be the quickest but since it lacks a turbo it's actually lighter than turbocharged versions improving handling an reliability. NO REAR DISC BRAKES IN THE SE TRIM Unlike higher trims the SE model comes with rear drum brakes which are old-school but require less maintenance. HIDDEN "SMART TRUNK" FEATURE The trunk opens automatically if you stand behind it for a few seconds with the key in your pocket--perfect for when your hands are full. ACOUSTIC GLASS FOR A QUIETER RIDE Hyundai added sound-absorbing windshield glass reducing road noise compared to older Elantras. IT HAS A "SECRET" SPORT MODE While not advertised as a sporty car Sport Mode adjusts the throttle response and simulated gear shifts for a livelier drive.
