Hyundai's next-gen Elantra has returned in an
additional batch of spy images and just like before the prototype was fully
camouflaged.
The
fifth generation Elantra
is on its way to retirement after being introduced back in 2010 and its
successor is hiding underneath the camouflage ahead of an expected launch later
this year with Hyundai's
latest design language called "Fluidic Sculpture 2.0". Keeping just
about the same dimensions as the outgoing model, the new Elantra (Avante in
South Korea) is going to adopt an evolutionary design with influences from the
i30 facelift and other recent Hyundai
models.
The
sloping roofline will be retained while up front the bumper will host LED DRLs
strips on its side. The hexagonal front grille will likely be similar to what
the larger Sonata and Genesis have while the side profile appears to be similar
to today’s model.
In
terms of motorization, the 2016 Hyundai Elantra (codenamed
"AD") will be commercialized with an array of improved gasoline
direct injection (GDi) engines and some of them will benefit from
turbocharging. There's also going to be a couple of CRDi turbodiesels and an
economical plug-in hybrid variant and possibly a fully electric derivative.
