Elantra, Tiburon and Sonata Offer More Standard Features At the Same Price
Oct. 4, 1999 Hyundai has added more standard features to its model year 2000 Elantra, Tiburon and Sonata models, yet prices either remain the same as last year or have been reduced.
“Once again, Hyundai is demonstrating its commitment to offering buyers affordable, valuepacked cars,” said Finbarr O’Neill, president and chief executive officer of Hyundai Motor America. “We are holding the line on prices and adding new standard features on selected models to make them even more attractive and competitive. Plus, every new Hyundai is backed by America’s Best Warranty, The Hyundai Advantage, which includes a 10year, 100,000mile drivetrain warranty and a fiveyear, unlimited mileage roadside assistance program.”
Elantra The Elantra, Hyundai’s bestselling model, was restyled last year. Refinements and improvements for 2000 include an upgraded interior, a tachometer. power windows, power door locks and power mirrors as standard equipment. For 2000, only one trim level is available, the topoftheline GLS.
The price of the popular Elantra station wagon with air conditioning, AM/FM stereo cassette radio and all the additional standard features has been reduced for the 2000 model year. Base price for the Elantra station wagon is now $12,499; that’s $200 less than the 1999 model. The Elantra GLS sedan is now priced at $11,799, that’s the same price as last year’s model and features air conditioning, power windows, power door locks and power mirrors as standard equipment.
Tiburon The Hyundai value story for 2000 continues with the Tiburon a top value in the sport coupe segment. The Tiburon coupe, which has been restyled inside and out for 2000, is an even better value than last year. In addition to the dramatic new front and rear styling, standard equipment for the Tiburon now includes air conditioning, AM/FM cassette stereo, cruise control, fourwheel disc brakes, 15inch alloy wheels, power windows, power door locks and power mirrors. Base price for all this value remains the same as 1999 $13,999. This reflects a price reduction of nearly $1200 when compared to a comparably equipped 1999 model.
Sonata The midsize Hyundai Sonata is available in two trim levels for model year 2000, base and GLS. While the company was able to hold the line on price, $14,999, the base Sonata has been upgraded to include 15inch tires and alloy wheels.
Air conditioning, cruise control and side impact airbags are standard even on the base model.
The price of the Sonata GLS model also remains the same for model year 2000 $16,999. There is even more good news for Hyundai buyers; prices of key options and accessories also have been reduced as well.
Accent The popular Hyundai Accent is all new for model year 2000. The new Accent is longer and wider than the previous version, providing even more comfort and convenience for driver and passengers. The new styling is handsome and gives the Accent a contemporary European look.
The 92horsepower, inline fourcylinder engine has been refined for smoother operation and the suspension has been redesigned for a better ride and improved handling. Allseason steelbelted radial tires, size P175/7013 are now standard on all Accents.
Inside the roomy cabin, the new front seats offer more hip room and improved support. On GS and GL models armrests are built into the driver’s seat and both front seats feature handy seatback pockets.
The new Accent 3door L model has a base price of $8999. The GS 3door starts at $9599 and the fourdoor GL model has a base price of $9699.
