The larger of Hyundai's two subcompact cars gets a facelift and interior revisions for 2004. Elantra comes as the GLS 4-dr sedan, GT 4-dr sedan, and GT 4-dr hatchback. All have a 2.0-liter 4-cyl engine and manual or optional automatic transmission. Front side airbags are standard. ABS with traction control is optional. Standard equipment includes air conditioning and power windows/locks/mirrors. GTs add a sport suspension, alloy wheels, and leather upholstery. Styling is altered for '04 with a new grille and taillights, and interiors get new instruments, console, and controls. Hyundai's warranty is among the industry's longest: 5-years/60,000-mi. basic, 10/100,000 powertrain.
