Following teasers that showed the sleeker-looking next-gen Hyundai Elantra sedan, the South Korean automaker has decided to give the public another teaser of its upcoming C-segment sedan from various angles and in sketches, ahead of its anticipated debut at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
The fluid design for the new Elantra has a coupe-like resemblance, even in its four-door form. Rumours point to a possibility of a coupe version making a comeback – it was discontinued in the US just two years after its introduction due to low sales.
As can be seen in the sketches, the Elantra will be kept in line with Hyundai’s current Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design language – the hexagonal grille along with those headlights is set to ensure that the Elantra, like all of Hyundai’s current vehicle line-up, will possess that aggressive stance.
Headlining the engine lineup of the Elantra will reportedly be a new 1.6 litre T-GDI turbocharged engine – which all-in-all should make 175 hp – paired to Hyundai’s seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Fuel-efficiency for the sixth-generation Elantra is rumoured to hit 5.4 litres per 100 km.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Unfortunately the spy shots show that the car in reality is a far cry from those renders.. the sad fact of design vs engineering for production
Don’t waste your hard earned money on new car depreciation. I can give you good deal. Everyone knew kimchi cars have no RV.
Hyundai’s debuts recently haven’t been pleasant to the eyes; I hope they don’t ruin this one either.
Wish that Proton Preve, Suprima can have that design. Sigh.
Good.. if this comes out in 2016, in 2017 people will come to beg me to accept this thrash for 25k just to trade in an ALtis.
Pls sell me at 25k, thanks.
I want to buy 2nd hand elantra. But the RV is crazily strong. Much better than Altis.
Same L0rrr………..
Shame & Low………..
nowadays, all car design look like aston martin.. all car.. idea finish already among the designer. but if proton start to use this kind of design, haters will start saying.. oo proton tiru maa… proton tak da idea maaa… proton suka ciplak maaa…
RIP rear headroom!
looks like a mixture of Audi, Tesla and Aston Martin..
Altis and your other Sushi’s have been losing significant market share to the kimchis.
Korean cars are surely better value for the buck, doesn’t get targeted by carjackers, and provides decent RV. Why don’t you just check oto or other sites for that matter. There is as much as 9-10k depreciaton/year, which isn’t a far-cry from a toyota altis, whose interior is absolute rubbish, offers.
carjackers didn’t want to target korean cars because it has low resale value.
even if u leave the car with the keys inside, people won’t bother to drive it away.
Great news. I can lower trade to RM22k now for a 12 month old unit

When you already establish the brand/ design, no one says you copy other people’s design.
Is this an audi?
