Sitting alongside the Elantra coupe, at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show is Hyundai Elantra GT - competitor for models like the Ford Focus, Mazda 3, and Volkswagen Golf.

The Elantra GT is the third vehicle in Hyundai’s 7/11 product initiative (seven new or redesigned models in the next 11 months), next to the the Veloster Turbo and the refreshed Genesis Coupe. The new Elantra GT features the same 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 148 HP as the sedan and the coupe variants.
 

The engine is mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission and delivers a fuel economy of 28 mpg city and 39 mpg highway. The Elantra GT includes an aggressive profile and low overall height, as well as sleek side mirrors. The interior offers comfortable seating for five people or can accommodate four passengers with long items such as golf clubs or snowboards.
