Only one trim level is available, the GLS four-door sedan. The sedan retails at $12,499 with the 5-speed manual, and $13,299 with an automatic. (The wagon has been dropped from the lineup for 2001.)
Elantra GLS includes such popular features as air conditioning, power windows, mirrors and door locks, thick cut-pile carpeting, a tachometer and six-way adjustable driver's seat. Better still, Hyundai is providing more features, while retaining a very reasonable price.
With the reasonable base price, and judicious selection of options, a buyer can tailor the Elantra to taste without breaking the bank. We appreciate the available 5-speed transmission that came on our test car. Our vehicle was equipped with the most popular of the factory options, cruise control and keyless entry, which adds $400 to the price. Other options available include a moonroof, alloy wheels and stereo upgrade, which can bring the price to $14,134 with the $435 destination charge. Adding the optional ABS, brought the price to $15,284.
