BHPian ![]() | ![]() The all black interior looks so much more classy and upmarket compared to what we have. |

The comparison with Laura L&K seems off. I guess the Elegance trim is more in line with the Elantra price-wise and it would be nice to see what the Elantra offers over it. Also, the Laura manual is offered in a tuned down 110PS avatar, so one of the minuses for the Skoda should be that it does not offer a manual version. Nice comparo, though! | |

But I guess the features are going to show up in the production vehicle only and the ones at the showroom seem to be pre-production models. | |

All of this, at the same price point ! Plus, the Cruze cant really differentiate itself from the Elantra in terms of build quality and handling, the way the European sedans can. Last edited by R17 : 14th August 2012 at 15:24. | |

| ![]() Could you please elaborate? They must not have done the basic checks (PDI); the one I got in had been through PDI - that cannot change the perception inside out, but still. Was it the top model you drove? |

| ![]() Yes it was the top model as it had seat ventilation features which I tried to check but couldn't as it had the seats covered in plastic . The Colour of the beige was not liked by my wife -it just does not feel like you are sitting in a 17 lacs car- that is the main downer. It was more refined than verna but on bad roads it shook like my verna- that sealed the coffin for me as No way I was going to pay so much and then remember that it was just an expensive Verna. |

| ![]() I reckon Hyundai has successfully pulled off a great long-term game plan. This new fluidic design is not going to age fast as new cars from other companies keep getting launched. In simpler words , This Elantra( or all fluidic cars) is the new 8th Gen Asian Civic design wise. The civic was launched in 2006 and hasn't shown its age over time. That's going to be the case with this one as well. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() How is it that the Laura is cramped and the Jetta is v.spacious? Both are essentially the same car under the skin |

| ![]() off the topic, But the difference between New Jetta and Laura is not so much as to call one cramped and other spacious. I took test drive a week back in both of those. |
