whats diff between LX and EX, can't really read the spec from the website

LX is the lowest spec of all. Very basic and simple model. But engine and body shape the same as EX and SX though.

This is good for someone who is just looking for a simple car without all the hoo-ha...

does the elantra have a better rear suspension layout vs the K3 or the same.

 

I read somewhere the Elantra had vastly improve in the chassis vs the last version as well as being lighter.

 

Not sure if its a cut and paste effort for the K3 as well where chassis is concern.

both are torsion beam so should be similar.

 

think new elantra had improved chassis rigidity so might be slightly better

$83k definitely is for LX model. CNC call it Base model.

So k3 now have 3 trims, LX, EX and SX? Same like elantra GLS, S and elite trim?!

Elantra commands a premium over K3.. around 4~5k if I'm not wrong.

How come elantra commands a premium over k3? Cause elantra is a newer model?

Not quite sure why but I believe when the Avante was launched years back it was priced higher than Toyota Corolla/Altis.. I might be wrong though..

hyundai iirc is the mother company so pricing is always higher than kia variants

After driven 2 Hyundai, found Kia is not too bad in term of interior material and drive. Not worth paying extra for Hyundai IMO.

LX is the stripped down basic car... more basic than the EX trim... no rims, no auto aircon, etc...

Maybe to open the window also using manual de?
