Highest Ranked: 2009 Hyundai Elantra Sedan
After favorable finishes in 2007 and 2008, the Hyundai Elantra Sedan climbs to the top of the compact car class in the 2009 IQS. The Elantra’s 2009 model lineup includes two sedans and one wagon, but only the Sedan receives top quality honors this year. The base car is the entry-level GLS, which comes with power windows, locks and mirrors. At the top of the model range is the SE, which has stability control, air conditioning and alloy wheels. Leather upholstery and heated front seats are options. The standard powertrain is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder powerplant that drives the front wheels through a manual transmission with an automatic transmission optional. Capable of transporting up to 5 passengers and their luggage, the Elantra proves very efficient at the pump, earning up to 33 mpg in the EPA highway cycle. Additional peace of mind comes in the form of Hyundai’s industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.
