Hyundai Elantra

Safety

The Hyundai Elantra is engineered to deliver a driving experience that balances safety and comfort. In terms of active safety, the car is equipped with modern features like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), lane departure alert, and front and rear parking sensors. These technologies work together to enhance driver confidence and ensure greater safety in various driving conditions.

For passive safety, the Elantra features a robust body structure built from high strength steel designed to absorb impact in the event of a collision. Additionally, it comes with multiple airbags, including front and side units, to provide comprehensive protection for all occupants.

Cost of Ownership

The base price for the Hyundai Elantra in Saudi Arabia starts at approximately 75,000 SAR. Assuming a 20% down payment of 15,000 SAR, and a 60 month financing plan with a total interest rate of 1.9%, the estimated monthly installment would be around 1,066 SAR.

Hyundai Elantra is also known for holding its value well in the used car market. While the average price for a new Elantra is 75,000 SAR, resale value after three years typically ranges between 55,000 and 60,000 SAR. This translates to a retention rate of roughly 73% to 80%, making it a solid long term investment.

Running Costs

Fuel efficiency is one of Elantra’s strong points, with an average consumption of about 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Based on the current price of 91 octane gasoline in Saudi Arabia (around 2.04 SAR per liter), the monthly fuel cost for a 1,300 kilometer drive is estimated at approximately 172 SAR, or about 2,064 SAR annually.

Maintenance is also budget friendly. The Elantra typically requires service every 10,000 kilometers, and each scheduled maintenance visit costs between 500 and 700 SAR. This makes it a very economical choice for drivers looking to reduce long term ownership costs.
