An all-new model (codename XD) was launched in 2000. The wagon was dropped in favor of a five-door hatchback. Starting in 2001, all American models came with standard front and front side airbags, air conditioning, power locks, power windows and power steering. This simplified dealer inventories and repairs and also sought to improve Hyundai's image of 'value' cars. In 2003, the Elantra received a facelift for all models (codename XD2). The facelift gave the Elantra new headlights and taillights, a new grille, new front and rear bumpers, a refreshed hood and trunk, and a refreshed dashboard.
The GLS trim is the standard trim for the Elantra. The top of the line model, the GT trim, came with a stiffer suspension, leather seats, fog lights, alloy wheels, lip spoiler and blue-lit instrument cluster. It was offered as a hatchback since 2001 as a 2002 model year vehicle. The only options for the GT trim were an automatic transmission, power moonroof and anti-lock brakes with traction control. The only major option was a Kenwood MP3/CD deck. The GT trim sedan was introduced in 2003 and discontinued in 2005. The GT trim was replaced with the Limited trim for the 2006 model year. The limited trim featured new paint colors, a chrome vertical grille, leather interior with leather steering wheel and leather shifter, and wood trim. The Limited trim did not feature alloy wheels, only steel rims with a 6-spoke cover featured in the GLS model. The GT trim for the five door was produced for the remainder of the 2006 model year.
The Elantra is available with 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 L gasoline engines and a 2.0 L turbodiesel. North American models are only available with the 2.0L gasoline engine. The 1.8 engine is a 1.6 engine modified for the New Zealand market.
While compact on the outside, it is listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency‎ as a mid-size car because of a spacious interior. Although the basic powertrain design has changed little since the second generation, successive improvements have improved fuel economy from an EPA rating of 24 mpg_-US (9.8 L/100 km; 29 mpg_-imp)/33 mpg_-US (7.1 L/100 km; 40 mpg_-imp) to 25 mpg_-US (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpg_-imp)/33 mpg_-US (7.1 L/100 km; 40 mpg_-imp) and the current 27 mpg_-US (8.7 L/100 km; 32 mpg_-imp)/34 mpg_-US (6.9 L/100 km; 41 mpg_-imp) for manual transmissions, with automatic producing 23 mpg_-US (10 L/100 km; 28 mpg_-imp)-3 mpg_-US (78 L/100 km; 3.6 mpg_-imp) fewer. Horsepower also improved from 135 hp (100 kW) to 138 hp (102 kW) and torque from 132 to 136 mainly thanks to the addition of continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) in 2004. Originally, the horsepower rating was misrepresented as 140 hp (104 kW). In 2006 the Elantra was offered with a SULEV emission rated engine in some U.S. states.
