Buyers of the all-new 2017 Hyundai Elantra will not only enjoy a lower starting price in the U.S. but also have the option of using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Both of the systems will be available on the 2017 Elantra’s seven-inch Display Audio touchscreen which also includes a rearview camera and the larger eight-inch navigation system. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow smartphone users to sync up their devices with the car’s infotainment system, helping to reduce distractions and allow drivers to maintain focus on the road.
“By launching our best-selling model, Elantra, with CarPlay and Android Auto support, we are building on our promise to offer more convenience features for today’s modern driver at an affordable price point,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president of product and corporate planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Also, the new smartphone integrations will help to keep drivers’ eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, helping to reduce driver distraction.”
As announced the other day, the new Elantra starts at $17,150 in the U.S excluding the $895 destination fee. The starting price buys you a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 147 hp and a six-speed manual transmission. The most expensive model offered is the Elantra Limited, price from $22,350 and available with the $1,900 and $2,500 Limited trim and Ultimate Package.
