2010 Hyundai Elantra Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 2010 Hyundai Elantra gets even more economical with the introduction of the entry-level Blue trim and its $14,145 MSRP. The GLS trim comes in at $16,895, and the SE at $17,845. The Blue trim offers more than just the bare minimum, however, as it comes with air conditioning, heated power mirrors, power windows and locks, and remote entry. There are certainly a plethora of choices when it comes to economy cars, and this four-door, five-seater is certainly among the ones you ought to consider.
The 2010 Elantra doesn’t look much different than the 2009 version, though the front grill and rear garnish have been restyled. More importantly, the Elantra keeps what has made it attractive in the past - a full compliment of safety features (frontal airbags, front side-impact air bags, side curtain airbags, active front head restraints, and four-wheel antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution), a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty (and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty), ample cargo space for its class (14.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity), and a distinguished and comfortable interior feel.
All of the Elantra trims are front-wheel drive and powered by a 2-liter, inline four-cylinder (I4) engine that produces 138 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 136 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm. The Blue trim comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission and gets 26 city/35 highway mpg. The GLS and SE come with a four-speed automatic and get 26/34 mileage.
While the Elantra’s fuel efficiency is very good, engine pep is not one of the car’s highlights. It goes from 0-60 in 8.8 seconds with the manual transmission and has adequate mid-range power, but nothing spectacular. The automatic transmission is smooth, although the manual can feel a bit a clunky. The engine is a touch noisy at high rpms, but road and wind noise are tame.
The Elantra grips well in dry conditions, the suspension (front struts, rear multilink, and gas-pressurized shocks in the front and rear) provides a smooth and sturdy feel on the road, the steering is responsive, if a bit light, and the brakes provide a reliable stop with good pedal feel. It’s no sports car, but within its class, the Elantra’s ride is a benefit.
Convenient and clear gauges and controls welcome the driver into the Elantra’s cabin. Both driver and passenger are provided with plenty of headroom and legroom, especially for an economy car. The six-way adjustable front bucket seats (standard for all three trims) and adjustable steering wheel allow further comfort. The rear seats are also comfortable and adequate for three average-size adults, although the door openings are narrow.
The GLS and SE trims both add a sunroof, cruise control, illuminated vanity mirrors, and a six-speaker sound system with an AM/FM/XM Satellite radio, in-dash CD player, and speed-sensitive volume. Some of the additional SE upgrades include heated front seats, leather-and-chrome steering wheel and shift knob, a trip computer, and 16-inch silver alloy wheels with P205/55HR16 all-season tires.

This was my first brand new car and it's been buyers remorse every time I get into the car. At 45 miles, I drove it away from the dealership and 3 months later I tried to ask about interior noises and rattles and a shaky passenger seat. I was told by the Hyundai service department that Hyundai wasn't in the business of finding noises and rattles.. That is, of course, unless I could leave my car for a week or two while they try to pin point the noises- and without having a loaner car. It's been terrible customer service from Ohio and California dealerships (bought in Ohio but moved to California two months later).
As for the fuel economy, the only time I averaged more than 27+MPG was on my cross country trip from LA to Ohio. 2000+ miles and I averaged about 37 without using the A/C for most of the trip. Average city mpg is around 10 for me, and I can get up to 15mpg in mixed driving if it's warm enough not to use the heat or cool enough to use the A/C.
Bottom line, check out a Ford Focus.. or even dare I say the boring Toyota corolla if you want consistent customer service and a company that stands behind their product and will have a much higher resale value.Apr 14, 2013

There's nothing I don't like about this car, except that I used to have a 2007 Elantra SE trim, (not a GLS) so I miss the sportier aluminum rims and the steering wheel audio controls. Its a great car that has many standard features that most manufacturers consider options. And you can't beat the 10yr, 100,000 mile warantee, with the first 50K/5yr totally bumper to bumper, all for a price that beats all the competition.

This was the first brand spankin new car I have ever bought. I bought it with 42 miles on it and it now has 2500. I bought the Elantra Blue and it was the last manual tranny on the lot. In all honesty I actually was going to buy a used car and the only reason I even went to the Hyundai dealership was just to look. I didn't really think much of the brand but then I took it for a drive and fell in love. I bought my car for $15K and even though that is a cheap price for a new car it is not completely barren inside. I have cruise control, power windows, locks, and mirrors. Also the mirrors are heated along with the rear window. Also My car has a ipod interface already built into it and 6 speakers to power the sound. The road noise in the car is minimal and the ride itself is very quiet and comforatable. I must say Hyundai really surprised me. Generally in town I get about 27 or 28 mpg and on the highway I have seen anywhere between 36-40 mpg depending on how I drive. The 5spd tranny definetly gives the car a peppy spirit and makes it much more fun to drive. The car also came with cool perks like an amazing warranty and also I get free oil changes for the entire time I own the car. Anyways to sum this all up.. drive one before you make ur choice that Hyundais are cheap and worthless. Dec 07, 2010

Power Windows Will Not Go Up
I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra, and the issue I'm having is that I can put all the windows down from the driver's side master switch and each window's respective switch. However, I cannot put them up with any of the switches. The windows will go down, but not up. I have been told it could be the relay, but am wondering if it is the respective switches (seems unlikely). Do you guys have any idea on this?
