2016 Hyundai Elantra GT Video

The Elantra GT may share its name with Hyundai's best-selling compact sedan--but in reality, it's a different vehicle, one that comes originally from Europe. And that's why it attracts competition from cars like the VW Golf and Ford Focus.

This year, the Elantra GT gets a few updates as it faces a brand-new Golf and the fierce upcoming Focus RS.

From the outside, the Elantra GT hasn't changed much. The grille has grown bigger--it dips almost to the ground--and at the rear, there are available LED taillights. Sharp new 17-inch alloy wheels are available, too.

Inside, the Elantra GT adds an available BlueLink infotainment system. It includes navigation, HD Radio, and Apple Siri integration. Ventilated front seats are a new option--and Hyundai says they're the first in the class--and heated rear seats are available as well. Rounding out the tech update is an available remote start system with climate control and destination search powered by Google.
