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.

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.

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.
