Spurman Supercharged October 6, 2020 Share October 6, 2020 Actually, yeah, quality of Korean cars are good liao. Yeah and Komocco prob dun bring in the best speced ones. Cant blame them as high specs means more cost. Plus in Asian context, Japs always superior. And thus japs needs little marketing to sell. Hyundai wont lose sleep over small Singapore market ultimately. They say u want good products, pay for it. Simple. Hard truth. Anyway, cant fault komocco, they did their best bring in the elantras, avantes, spec them so well and priced them so well. But perhaps they cant forever maintain low omvs liao.

Sales confirm drop. in my opnion the Avante branding is certainly heading in the right direction. It's being slowly steered into almost luxury class standard. the design is fantastic, the features are great. Korean reliability is getting much much better and it's now almost debatable if it's just as good as MIJ or better. Avante has still alot of plastics on the interior but i think in a decade time, it will stabalize as a brand just a notch below luxury and it will be out of range for most people. i think you basing your opinion on what our AD brings, which is subpar and old engine with many features taken out. which is true. but we are slowly see this change.

Tcx607 4th Gear October 7, 2020 Share October 7, 2020 My honest review on Elantra & Avante from Gen 6 onwards have all the boxes checked. I am not comparing to how fast 0-100km/h, torque, spirited control, performance or TC. As a B&B daily car usage, I found Hyundai has done a really good job over the last decade. The engine has been refined, reliable, cabin insulation improved, frugal FC, easy and cheap to maintain, almost ideal car for a family of 5pax. I have been driving my elantra for 2yrs and comply to road speed limit, I feel there is a little of luxury and enjoy the quiet cabin on the road. Of course, my tire is comfort type and my acceleration has been linear (no heavy footer). My next objective is to change the leather to quality type from jackspeed. Overall, I have no regret driving a korea car. Admire the improvement, and now on a par with the Toyota Altis 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, give the stock faux leather (PVC) seats a change to genuine leather. It's less hot to the touch when parked under the sun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged October 7, 2020 Share October 7, 2020 (edited) Hyundai Avante CN7 unveiled at Komoco Motors. What are see is the basic trim which Komoco has ceased sales. They now sell only the mid range S trim ($100,000 / $9,500 annual dep) and the top end Elite trim ($107,000 / $10,200 annual dep). Both cars scrap value are $5,000, due to CEVS.

Yea, yesterday when i went over to see the car again while waiting for my ride to be service, saw at least 2 customers signing up for the car. I guess the demand is still quite strong for the Avante. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
