The automotive research and valuation expert donned our new Hyundai hatchback a “blend of refinement, eager driving manners, efficiency, and hatchback versatility” geared for the “active enthusiast.” But what made 2018 Elantra GT a hit with the professional reviewers? Quite a few elements, actually.

For one, the Web review arm, KBB.com, lauded the new Elantra GT for the “raised sport coefficient” afforded by the highly responsive multi-link rear suspension in its Sport trim. Of course, this wasn’t to mention the spirit behind it: a 201-horsepower, 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four engine putting out its turn and pull prowess at 195 pound-feet of torque. What’s more, KBB found a favorite feature in the new hatchback line’s available seven-speed dual-clutch auto transmission.
