2010 Hyundai Elantra with Nav. Package, from Under $18K

After being introduced into the North American market in September, the 2010 Hyundai Elantra recently received additional upgrades, such as an optional in-dash LG Electronics navigation unit. The Elantra GLS with Navigation Package is only $17,995, which according to the carmaker, makes it “the least expensive full-screen-navigation-equipped vehicle among comparable models.”

The newly-added system features Bluetooth and mapping software for the continental United States and has available POIs (Points of Interest) for entertainment, shopping and dining.

Route guidance is provided by audio and 2D map prompts. The unit is controlled via 6.5-inch high resolution touchscreen that is reportedly larger than the ones found in Nissan Sentra and Mazda3.

The system features 8GB of internal flash memory for the map data and comes matched with a 200-watt AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio/CD/MP3 audio system with internal amplifier. It can also access phone numbers employing a Bluetooth hands-free phone book and allows driver and passenger to access their personal listening devices through the iPod/USB inputs.

Furhermore, the FM/XM Satellite Radio interface is also integrated into the navigation unit and features song/artist/title information. XM Satellite Radio is complimentary for the first 90 days.

The touchscreen navigation-equipped Elantras arrive in dealerships this month.
