The public’s response to the Accent Value Edition must have been pretty good because Hyundai America is extending the offer to other models. The next one is the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition which comes with a fair amount of new kit and at $20,250 represents a saving of $1,215 in options.
Before we get to what sets apart the Value Edition Elantra we should mention that trim levels for the new modelyear get a boost in equipment level. The Elantra SE, for instance, gets Bluetooth phone and audio capability as well as cruise control, and the Limited version now boasts High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with Dynamic Bending Light. Does that make you feel better about owning an Elantra?
