Making its debut in model-year 2007, the fourth-generation Hyundai Elantra wrapped affordability and reliability in one eye-catching package. The current 2008 Hyundai Elantra, now available at Hyundai of Tempe and at HyundaiofTempe.com maintains all the strengths of the previous-generation models: a low price, capable performance and a spacious cabin. But unlike the previous versions of the Elantra, the 2008 model takes great strides forward and now provides drivers with a sharper and more aggressive look while also offering drivers handling capabilities that are crisper than ever before. Without question, spicing up what in the past has been considered by some to be somewhat bland and typical.

The 2008 Hyundai Elantras offer two trims. The first provides full power accessories: the base GLS. It's a great option for those who need to get from one point to the next without needing to worry about function.

For shoppers wishing to add a bit more spice to their commute, Hyundai introduced the Elantra SE, now available at Hyundai of Tempe and at HyundaiofTempe.com. The Elantra SE is equipped with features commonly expected in a vehicle within this class as well as some shoppers may not expect. Including cruise control, electronic stability control (ESC), traction control system (TCS), trip computer and more. This particular trim also provides drivers and passengers additional amenities such as heated leather seats, first-rate sound system and more. Both trims of the Hyundai Elantra are available at Hyundai of Tempe; visit Hyundai of Tempe today to learn which make best fits your lifestyle.

The two 2008 Hyundai Elantra trims come with a wide array of safety features, including front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and anti-whiplash front head restraints. Additionally, engineers of the Hyundai Elantra added stability control to the 2008 SE.

This compact sedan has a 2.0-liter incline-4 with 138 horsepower and 136 lb/ft of torque. You can get the Elantra in either a four speed automatic or a five speed manual transmission. Recent discussions over fuel prices can't touch the Elantra due to its unarguable fuel efficiency (up to 33 miles per gallon).

Plenty of space is the first thought of many upon stepping into the 2008 Elantra. And the space is distributed evenly for head, shoulder and leg-room for driver and passengers. With upscale interior design, most are surprised at how far the Elantra outstrips competing cars in its class when it comes to interior appointments.

The Elantra engineers also paid particular attention to detail when designing the 2008 model and provided drivers with gauges that are very crisp and readable, in addition consumers will find lots of compartments, nooks and bins for storage.
