Modern style and intelligent innovation are what defines the newly transformed 2021 Hyundai Elantra. Hyundai also upgraded Elantra's safety features to give you more peace-of-mind while driving in Tampa. These driver-assistance features help to make the Hyundai Elantra a popular compact sedan. The team at Fitzgerald's Countryside Hyundai in Clearwater FL is ready to show you how these features work when you take the Elantra out for a test drive.
The Elantra comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense. SmartSense is a suite of safety features that can help St. Petersburg drivers drive with confidence and avoid accidents. Some of the SmartSense safety features include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection – This system uses a camera and radar to warn you of a potential collision when there are other vehicles and pedestrians in your path.
- Driver Attention Warning – Driving after a long day at work is exhausting, especially if you have a long commute. The Driver Attention Warning system detects when you are drowsy or inattentive and sends you a sound alert with a warning message to help you regain your focus.
- Lane Keeping Assist – This system uses audio and visual cues while giving you corrective steering assistance if it detects you drifted into another lane without signaling.
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist – We use our mirrors to see if any other vehicles are around us when we want to change lanes. Unfortunately, car mirrors cannot see everything. This system automatically applies light pressure to the brakes when it detects a vehicle in your blind-spot when you use your turning signal to change lanes.
Hyundai SmartSense is like having an extra pair of eyes to help New Port Richey drivers avoid any potential hazards. Yet, nothing can replace being aware of your surroundings and following safe driving techniques.
