St. Peters, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/04/2012 -- Named 2012 North American Car of the Year, the 2013 Elantra overshadows its class and redefines the idea of what a compact car can be. This Hyundai favorite sedan is now available at St. Charles Hyundai and the St. Louis area dealership is offering great incentives on the 2013 model.

Hyundai enthusiasts immediately noticed the distinctive styling of the new 2013 Elantra. This new design includes dynamic fluid lines for a sleek appearance and a high-end look that reinvents the compact car class. Style features like wraparound headlights, available front fog lights and an increased wheelbase give it a lower, sportier look.

The interior offers even more styling and sophistication like much more interior space, top-notch technology features, heated seats throughout and luxury-like materials. Designed around the driver, the audio and climate controls are within easy reach and there is loads of leg room along with head and shoulder room for both front and rear passengers. Standard on the LIMITED trim level, the Elantra is the first compact car to integrate heated seats for both front and rear passengers. Warning for drivers, your passengers may never leave!

Standard technology features include 170 commercial-free radio stations on SiriusXM Satellite Radio and integrated Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free phone use. The Elantra LIMITED offers a navigation system with a 7” screen with voice recognition and rearview camera which offers helpful guidelines for tight parking spaces.

The 2013 Hyundai Elantra delivers excellent performance with a lightweight, high-tech engine achieving the best power-to-weight in its class and an EPA-estimated 40 mpg highway. The Elantra’s 6-speed SHIFTRONIC® automatic transmission uses technology to improve durability and reduce weight.

In addition to the many new features and styling techniques, the Hyundai Elantra maintains its award-winning safety reputation with six airbags throughout the interior, vehicle stability management, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
