What is future of Hyundia Elantra Touring
« on: February 21, 2011, 09:58:10 am »
I was wondering what your thoughts were on the future of the Elantra Touring. I have a friend who is very interested in buying one.

With the new Elantra sedan I am surprised the Touring remains unchanged for 2011. It seems to be left with an outdated engine. I do not see many on the roads in Montreal. I am suspecting that this car might be dropped from the Hyundai line up.

If dropped I would suspect resale values will nose dive and part may become hard to find.

If about to be re-designed I would advise my friend to wait for new and improved model.

We are aware on competitors like Matrix, Mazda 3 & Kia forte but my friend seems to like this car.

It's a very roomy wagon however if it matters to your friend. The engine may still be fine when compared to the competition, but 4spd auto and is the weakest link IMO. There are rumors of the Sonata wagon coming here, if he wants to wait...

Also the current Touring model is kind of wagon like... the new one is apparently going to be more hatchback than the current one. I actually thought that was a smart differentiation on Hyundai's part. I like the Touring. It's a good looking car and perhaps one of the first Hyundai's I saw on the road and thought "wow... that's really good".

All rumors so who knows what it'll shake out like.

For what it's worth I've lived somewhere where the Elantra Touring was the only "budget" wagon on the market; when Hyundai discontinued it they became quite sought after.
