2020 Elantra GT Exterior
Hyundai claims that the shape of the Elantra GT was brought to life around the Nurburgring, that famous racetrack deep in the forests of Germany where the world's leading automotive companies test their fastest machines. We'll take that statement with a pinch of salt. The 2020 Elantra GT is by no means an unattractive car, but it's far from what we'd call aggressively styled; its European styling does a fantastic job of making it look like another European hatchback, whereas competitors like the Honda Civic proudly flaunt quirky Japanese styling. Standard features on the base model include LED daytime running lights, heated power side mirrors, and 16-inch alloy wheels. N-Line cars get full LED lighting, 18-inch N-design alloy wheels, gloss black mirrors, and black window-line moldings. The N-Line body styling package adds some much-needed attitude to what can otherwise be described as the car version of a hand sanitizer wipe.

Dimensions
The compact hatchback class is as competitive as ever, and manufacturers are scrambling to get the most passenger and cargo space out of the limited dimensions on offer, while subcompact SUVs patiently wait, knife and fork in hand. The 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT seems a bit stubby compared to some of its main rivals; with a total length of just 170.9 inches, the Elantra GT is over an inch shorter than the Toyota Corolla, and a significant seven inches shorter than the Honda Civic. It sits higher than both with a total height of 57.7 inches and is proportionally wide at 70.7 inches. The 2020 Elantra GT hatchback rides on a 104.3-inch wheelbase, slotting between the 103.9-inch Corolla and 106.3-inch Civic. Hyundai has managed to keep the weight to a minimum: the Elantra GT weighs in at 2,943 pounds in base trim, which is 117 pounds lighter than the Toyota Corolla, but 42 pounds heavier than the Honda Civic, and tops out at 3,155 lbs in the N-Line with the optional dual-clutch transmission.

Exterior Colors
Hyundai is starting to understand the ways of the hot hatchback - or warm hatchback in the case of the Elantra GT. Despite only offering six exterior paint colors, Hyundai has clearly put some thought into their palette choice, which offers crowd favorites such as Ceramic White and Black Noir Pearl, along with the obligatory Stellar Silver and Fluid Metal, a darker shade of silver. But the two boldest, and by default, our favorites have to be the Scarlet Red Pearl and Intense Blue, which are fast becoming a hot Hyundai staple. We might not be overly excited about the Elantra GT's bland Euro styling, but at least it can pull off any color with ease - just don't get it in white.
