Last month, Hyundai pulled the veils off the all-new Elantra sedan, and at the same time also introduced the first ever Elantra Hybrid. The seventh-generation C-segment sedan will only be hitting markets in the fourth quarter of 2020, so there’s ample time to get acquainted with it.
Just to quickly recap, the 2021 Elantra is bigger than the outgoing model in every way, and it’s longer than the Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, and Honda Civic. It’s also breaking the typical three-box sedan mould in favour of a fastback look, and there’s no shortage of angular design cues here.
The presenter here pointed out several noteworthy features, such as the new Cascading Grille design, conjoined LED tail lights, strikingly bold side body contours, Digital Key function, the new hybrid powertrain, and the driver-oriented cockpit. This preproduction model also showcases the twin 10.25-inch displays, as well as the unique two-spoke multifunction steering wheel.
She also emphasised that driver safety is Hyundai’s top priority, so it comes with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Following Assist (LFA), High Beam Assist (HBA), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), and rear view camera with dynamic guidelines as standard.
Optional systems include Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA) with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA), Smart Cruise Control (SCC), Highway Driving Assist (HDA; helps keep the car centred within lane), Safe Exit Warning (SEW), as well as Reverse Parking Collision Avoidance Assist (PCA) with pedestrian and obstacle detection.
Production of the 2021 Hyundai Elantra will begin in September this year at two locations – Ulsan, Korea and Montgomery, Alabama. Sales will begin in the fourth quarter of the year. In Australia, the Elantra will be marketed as the i30 Sedan, while in Korea it will be sold as the Avante. So, what do you think?

Absolutely gorgeous. Defo gonna buy one when it comes out
Lol! These honda salesmen spend time to downvote for good comments about this and upvote about their rivals. Shows that have no brains to think but simply bash hyundai
Nice interior but exterior design look weird & too much curve. looks ugly to me…
(Like) Hyundai Elantra
(Dislike) Honda Civic
Honda Civic wannabe. Penyamar bersuara sumbang.
Noone wants to copy ugly civic ketam
No one want Civic crab design la
The current Hyundai Elantra already weird the exterior design and now the 2021 model is worsening. What’s wrong with Hyundai designer? Kia is under the same roof of Hyundai but the Cerato design is so much better compare to this 2021 Elantra. To compete with Corolla, Civic and Mazda 3 is simply a joke as the trio look much handsome than this new Elantra.
Kah kah kah…annyonghaseyo hyundai…this elantra generation would fail miserably with such a weird ugly design. Since Audi and Civic FC came out, all brands trying hard for the fastback look. They could try to copy, but can never get there..just another foolish wannabe…
what an awful design
from the side view, it has some design cues like the mighty 10th generation Civic FC. so good is the civic design until the koreans want to copy it.
go to kedai ketuk they will knock the weird curve and make elantra great again
