2003 Hyundai Elantra GLS
The Elantra is the top-selling Hyundai model in the
American market, enticing customers with its shockingly
low price tag and well-rounded features. When you consider
the confidence manufacturers have in the durability
of the Elantra, this popularity becomes understandable.
Hyundai's warranty is one of the industry's longest:
5-years/60,000-mi. basic, 10/100,000 powertrain.
The GLS is the entry-level trim for the 2003 Elantra
sedan. It is joined by an uplevel GT model, which also
offers a hatchback body style. All trim levels have
four-doors and seat five passengers.
Under the Hood
The Elantra GLS features an efficient motor under its
hood. It is the most powerful engine in the subcompact
class, a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder DOHC that dishes out 135
horsepower at 6000 rpm and 133 lb-ft of torque at 4800
rpm. 5-speed manual transmission is standard, providing
a nice fuel economy of 25/33 mpg (city/hwy). 4-speed
automatic is optional, with an equally impressive rating
of 24/33 mpg (city/hwy).
The 2003 Elantra has a fully independent suspension
system that dampens the impact of those annoying potholes.
15-inch wheels with sporty tires are standard. In terms
of safety, the GLS has dual front airbags and front
side airbags. Antilock brakes with traction control
are optional.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
The Elantra is smoothly shaped to cut through the wind
as it glides down the road. Its side mirrors are aerodynamically
designed to reduce noise at high speeds. On the inside,
the GLS trim provides a comfortable cabin to make any
ride relaxing.
Standard features include air conditioning, power steering,
cloth upholstery, front bucket seats with driver-seat
height adjustment, center console, a split folding rear
seat, heated power mirrors, windows and door locks,
an AM/FM/cassette, a digital clock, a tachometer, visor
mirrors, a rear defogger, a remote fuel-door and decklid
release and map lights.
An optional Convenience Package adds additional convenience
with cruise control and remote keyless entry with an
alarm. Other options include an AM/FM/CD player, a moonroof
and carpeted floormats.
Well-appointed, reliable and affordable are three very
relevant adjectives that describe the 2003 Hyundai Elantra
GLS.
