It is an all new model which is planned to launch earlier (just 1.5 years after the facelifted Avante was introduced) because the facelifted Avante styling apparently wasn't very well received and sales weren't good globally. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current avante horrible imo and Elantra 2021 carry over the bad parts imo Yeah. I'm not a fan of the Audish nose Elantra either. Agree that earlier models have more of Hyundai styling character, i.e. XD, HD and MD generation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, the triangular lines. Dont think it will be a looker externally. It seems even a step backwards than current one. I hope to be proven wrong. For now I just hope the interior is impressive.

Firstly, it doesn't have the triangular theme on the side of the body. Secondly, it has a rear quarter window instead of a blanked out moulding which the actual car has.

Twich 3rd Gear March 13, 2020 Share March 13, 2020 21 hours ago, Vinceng said: Whatever the looks, price plays a big factor in Singapore. Hyundai was the 4th best selling car in Singapore in 2019, with the "ugly" Avante making up most of the sales. What does that say? It pack with all the safety features. Blind spot warning, lane departure warning, mulit airbags, hill stop, 8" infotainment link Google and iOS and etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toeknee_33 Turbocharged March 13, 2020 Share March 13, 2020 (edited) On 3/12/2020 at 9:28 AM, Daniu82 said: Agreed. I like the design of the AD cos I used to own one. That's a better design than the MD. The current Avante is not nice, especially the rear and you can see the rear camera at the top part of the boot. I feel that there is more to car design than just little details like where they place the rear cam. Its also about the overall shape of the car, the proportions, the stance, the surfacing, and how it looks from all angles. After that, then we look at the design of all the various elements like grille, wheel arches, window and crease lines, spoilers, size and design of wheels etc. Sometimes the car design is also shaped by engineering and/or aerodynamic needs. So we also need to understand those before we can appreciate the design. Having said that, I am not saying I support the latest Hyundai designs! I feel that the latest Sonata looks like a sad Hyena!

I think still got to wait to see the car in real flesh to see how it all pans out... the side creases are quite unique for this class of cars... so let's hope it works out better than these sneak peeks... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
