1992 Hyundai Elantra

To fill in the gap, both in size and in price, between the entry level Excel and the midsize Sonata, Hyundai introduced the Elantra in 1992. It is aimed to give good competition to the already popular sedan cars like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Nissan Sentra. Although it cannot fully match the power, conveniences and the established reliability of these famous brands, the Hyundai Elantra offers a good alternative with its reasonable price, decent fuel economy and roomy interior space.

 

The 1992 Hyundai Elantra was introduced with two trim models, the base model and the fancier GLS model. Both models share the basic engine and powertrain specifications. The Elantra is equipped with a 1.6 liter twin cam inline type 4-cylinder engine that produces a reasonable 113 hp of power and 102 ft-lb of torque. It is equipped with a standard 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive and an optional 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Equipping it with the 4-speed automatic transmission reduces its power output to 105 hp.

Inside out, the 1992 Hyundai Elantra is a very basic car. It has a roomy interior that can seat a maximum of five passengers and still give them enough leg room and head room. However, comfort and convenience features are minimal, having only power windows and door locks plus a cassette player as standard feature for the GLS model. For the base trim, all comfort and conveniences come as optional features which includes the standard features for the GLS trim plus sunroof and air conditioning, the last two being optional features for the GLS model as well.
