The 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring compact station wagon shows off its cargo capacity. See nine more photos in today's
slideshow.
All the marketing in the world doesn't change the fact that practicality is key to a small station wagon. So while Hyundai calls the new 2009 Elantra Touring sporty, and while its driving dynamics are surprisingly impressive, its cargo capacity is still a big deal.
The Elantra Touring, a compact station wagon that went on sale last month and that's spending the week with the DC Car Examiner, offers 24.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind its rear seat and 65.3 cubic feet when the rear seat is folded down. What that means in English is that this Hyundai has a lot more room than almost any other compact car.
Also, the Elantra Touring has more useful floor space behind the rear seat than even many larger vehicles, like these eight compact SUVs.
Check out today's slideshow to see more photos and information about the Hyundai Elantra Touring's cargo space and versatility than you ever could have thought you were curious about. And be on the lookout for more information on the Elantra Touring over the next few days. Stay tuned. And I invite you all to leave any questions you'd like me to be on special lookout for in the comments section below, or by e-mail at dc.car.examiner@gmail.com.
