Sktan10 5th Gear October 1, 2018 Share October 1, 2018 I don't like the new look. Not that it's bad, just that I liked the old one way more stylistically. Lost all the soul of the original Fluidic Sculpture, too many sharp lines in the fascias as well You will get use to it sooner or later.lol..... Just like some of them prefer the elantra design before 2016 than the current one when it was out in 2016. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator October 4, 2018 Share October 4, 2018 You mean it looks more like a new model rather than a face-lift? It is a facelift, right? Though they tag it as all-new. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator October 4, 2018 Share October 4, 2018 Just a marketing gimmick....All new sound more attractive.... Downright misleading if u ask me. In the old days, they only use all new when it is a next generation change. They were not afraid to use facelift though some daring ones used the word new but nvr all new. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkofwinners 4th Gear October 4, 2018 Share October 4, 2018 i think the facelift elantra uses cvt gearbox vs the 6at gearbox on the current elantra. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean when a new model rolls in but the platform is still the same, then would it be all-new? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean when a new model rolls in but the platform is still the same, then would it be all-new? I’m not so technical about platform etc cos I’m more layman. So too me, if it’s a generation change, it’s considered all new eg the current Civic 1.6NA is using the old engine but it’s all new as far as I’m concerned cos it’s a generation change. Likewise the all new Kia Cerato using the previous gen engine from what I read. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniu82 Supercharged October 4, 2018 Share October 4, 2018 All new hear already then song mah. If they say face lift, then it sounds pretty normal. It is a facelift, right?Though they tag it as all-new. Wait till KMC gets it then we can confirm the local specs. i think the facelift elantra uses cvt gearbox vs the 6at gearbox on the current elantra. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
