It may
not come as a big surprise considering that the Hyundai Elantra won the North
American Car of the Year as well as the Canadian Car of the Year. It is in fact
the first time that a Korean car brand has won the South African Car of the
Year Award, and with the Kia Picanto in second place, the proof is in the
pudding that Korean car manufacturers are enjoying success in the South African
car market.
The
Hyundai Elantra 1.8 GLS looks modern and stylish from the outside and is
spacious and beaming with confidence on the inside. Although the engine has
been downgraded from a 2.0 to a 1.8, the Elantra still performs above board
with either a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
More
than this, the Elantra 1.8 GLS is packed with luxury features making it a
superb choice of vehicle in the mid-size sedan class. Luxury features include power windows, locks and mirrors, keyless entry, air conditioning, cruise
control and telescopic steering. The navigation system has a large
LCD touch screen and comes with voice recognition for phone, audio and destinations,
including real-time traffic and weather. Bluetooth and audio streaming come
standard and a rearview camera accompanies the navigation system. The
Elantra 1.8 GLS also rates highly for affordability, quality, safety,
performance and fuel economy.
Sounds
like a winner to me. Here are the final results of the 2012 South African Car
of the Year Award.
1. Hyundai Elantra 1.8 GLS: 230 Points
2. Kia Picanto 1.2 Ex: 155 Points
