Hyundai Elantra

2007 - 2009 models

OVERALL BUMPER EVALUATION:

OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE DAMAGE: $2,539

TEST DETAILS: During the front full-overlap test, the Hyundai Elantra bumper system underrode the barrier, resulting in damage to the cover, grille, headlamps, radiator support, hood, both fenders, air conditioning condenser and sidemembers. During the rear full-overlap test, the bumper engaged the barrier; however, in addition to cover and absorber damage, the bumper reinforcement cracked then crushed the rear body panel. During the front corner test, there was no bumper/barrier lateral engagement, resulting in the headlamp being crushed by the barrier backstop; in turn, the headlamp was driven into the fender, bending the leading edge of the fender. Additionally, the windshield washer reservoir was crushed and the one-piece radiator support was cracked. During the rear corner test, the bumper engaged the barrier, limiting damage to the bumper system (cover and absorber).

Front full test damage: $4,954	Rear full test damage: $1,304	Front corner test damage: $2,090	Rear corner test damage: $628
