Blackseal 1st Gear April 29, 2010 Share April 29, 2010 Hyundai has been very busy lately as it progresses through round two of its 24/7 product renewal program. Just days after unveiling the new Accent/Verna in Beijing, Hyundai has revealed its next generation Elantra/Avante at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea. Like the smaller Accent, the Elantra has picked up the "fluidic sculpture" styling cues of its big brother the Sonata. By virtue of its larger size, the Elantra retains more of the sleeker profile of the Sonata and doesn't look as stubby as the Accent. Like the Sonata, the new Elantra gets a direct injected inline-four, in this case a 1.6-liter based on the Gamma engine family. For the Elantra the GDI 1.6 generates 138 horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque. In combination with a new six-speed automatic transmission, the Elantra should get about 10 percent better fuel economy. The Avante will go on sale in South Korea in the second half of this year and we'd expect to see it state-side with Elantra badges early in 2011. No word yet on whether we will get a hybrid version of the new Elantra. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kar_lover Supercharged April 30, 2010 Share April 30, 2010 But the front is very similar to the new Tucson. I hope they dun go in the direction of VW. Have u noticed since Golf VI, ALL their new models look the same especially the front? So boring and no character! They should learn from Merc, you always know its a merc but whether its a C, E or S class is very obvious and they all look different yet still have the recognisable corporate look.

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear April 30, 2010 Share April 30, 2010 yup...i thought so too.... like the designers just come out with one design, then copy and paste on the range on their cars.... no creativity at all.... Mercedes-Benz still the car manufacturer to learn from when it comes to the identity of their cars.... cheers!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic April 30, 2010 Share April 30, 2010 Nice! I mean the girls...haha. Anyway, is this like their corporate look now? Tuscon, Sonata i45, Verna and Avante all looks the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear April 30, 2010 Share April 30, 2010 that's how they save money though.... just pay for one design and one designer and you have the whole range of cars designed for you already.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tohto Hypersonic April 30, 2010 Share April 30, 2010 (edited) we want something more futuristic, more unique.... that's something Hyundai still fails to deliver.... when will Chery-Vertex bring in their high-end chinese brand cars like RIICH??? or Geely Rely brand??? If this design don't look futuristic, how you want it to look like? Compare to most of it japanese competitor, it look much much better.
