The Elantra Touring is a classy looking station wagon, sporting European styling that includes vertical mounted taillights, turn signals integrated into the side-view mirrors, wrap-around projector beam headlamps and chrome accents on the bodywork.

The Elantra Touring is powered by a 2.0-liter 141 horsepower inline-four with CVVT variable valve timing, and can be had with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.
