Powertrain Options and Availability
Early Elantras carried a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder with dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, rated at 130 horsepower. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard, and 4-speed automatic with electronic controls optional. In '99 Hyundai dropped the 1.8-liter in favor of a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder. It made 140 horsepower and offered the same transmission options.
