Safety Comes First in the Redesigned 2019 Elantra

The redesigned 2019 #elantra sedan conveys emotion with a new intense design, while delivering a sophisticated driving experience through #hyundai SmartSense safety and convenience technologies.

#hyundai SmartSense offers a variety of advanced active safety and convenience features. SmartSense technologies available as options on the 2019 #elantra include: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Assist and Safe Exit Assist. The newly designed 2019 #elantra will be available later this fall.

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) data shows that Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which are both integrated into Hyundai’s Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, are associated with a 50-percent reduction in rear-end collisions. In addition, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 94 percent of serious vehicle crashes involve human error, which is why advanced safety technologies like Lane Keep Assist have the potential to save lives.

Now in its sixth generation, the #elantra has sold more than 3 million units since its launch in the U.S. in 1991. #elantra has received numerous accolades including the most recent IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus for model year 2018. In addition to quality, reliability and being backed by America’s Best Warranty, the JD Power IQS recently awarded #hyundai third place overall in the highly regarded industry quality study. The #elantra is built in Hyundai’s Montgomery, Alabama plant and its Ulsan, South Korea facility.

“Refinements to both the interior and exterior were initiated on the 2019 #elantra to maintain its emotional design character and include affordable and desired features,” said Scott Margason, director, product planning, #hyundai. “The hood, front fenders, fascia, grille and headlights as well as the rear fascia, trunk and taillights each have been redesigned to convey a catchy and confident image. On the rear of the vehicle, the license plate has been relocated to the lower fascia to further enhance the new body sculpture.”
