Hyundai first unveiled a hatchback/wagon version of its Elantra for the 2009 model year, called the Elantra Touring. In Europe, the Hyundai Elantra Touring is sold under the Hyundai i30 CW nameplate. While the Hyundai Elantra sedan has been completely redesigned for 2011, the Hyundai Elantra Touring wagon continues mostly unchanged for one more year.
Relative to the Elantra sedan, the Touring has always been on a different trajectory. The Touring model's tall profile and wagon body style afford a very roomy, versatile interior, with near-SUV-caliber utility, and the split backseat folds forward flat. Just as with the 2011 Hyundai Elantra lineup, the Touring comes with a very generous set of standard features. Although full details hadn't yet been announced at the time of posting, the Elantra Touring is due to be replaced for 2012 by a model based on the all-new 2011 Hyundai Elantra sedan.
Although the Elantra Touring is fairly new in North America, Hyundai expects the Elantra Touring to compete with the Dodge Caliber, Mazda3 five-door and Toyota Matrix.
The 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring is the hatchback little brother of the Hyundai entry level Elantra sedan, but since it was designed in Europe, it doesn't share all that much with its relative. The SE package comes with heated leather seats, a leather steering wheel, and on models equipped with a stick shift, a sport shifter. The 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring comes standard with 15-inch steel wheels, that can be upgraded to 17-inch alloy wheels with the SE trim package, which also includes a sunroof. A low, aggressive stance is backed up by the nimble handling and decent power provided by the Elantra Touring.
Speaking of performance, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring is only available with a 2.0-liter four cylinder, but still manages to offer a nice mix of speed, agility and fuel economy in a single inexpensive package. To be honest, that statement right there pretty much defines the appeal that the Elantra Touring has towards buyers. The 2011 Elantra Touring comes standard with antilock disc brakes on all four wheels with added brake assist, stability and traction control, as well as front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags. Overall, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring won't win many contests against the strengths of its other competitors, as there's better options for fuel economy, sporty hatchbacks or eye-catching style.
