Multi 3rd Gear February 8, 2017 Share February 8, 2017 whats diff between LX and EX, can't really read the spec from the websiteLX is the lowest spec of all. Very basic and simple model.

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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic February 9, 2017 Share February 9, 2017 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 4th Gear February 9, 2017 Share February 9, 2017 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..

Multi 3rd Gear February 9, 2017 Share February 9, 2017 hyundai iirc is the mother company so pricing is always higher than kia variantsAfter driven 2 Hyundai, found Kia is not too bad in term of interior material and drive. Not worth paying extra for Hyundai IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
