The 2019 Hyundai Elantra facelift has finally landed on Malaysian shores, with the single 2.0L Executive model on sale for RM109,888 (on-the-road without insurance). Included in the price is a five-year/300,000 km warranty, as well as 24-hour road assist.
Under the bonnet, the Elantra is powered by the existing 2.0 litre Nu naturally-aspirated four-cylinder that makes 152 PS at 6,200 rpm and 192 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The mill is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission, with drive directed to the front wheels. Unfortunately, the Elantra Sport with the 1.6 litre T-GDI has been dropped from the range.
As you’d be able to tell, the exterior design is almost completely overhauled. Features include halogen projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels shod with 225/45 profile tyres, leather upholstery, 3.5-inch TFT-LCD multi-info instrument cluster display, seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support), keyless entry and start and a rear-view camera. Five colours are available – Polar White, Fluid Metal, Fiery Red, Teal Blue and Phantom Black.

Someone ran out of design tools so in desperation resorted to a Pythagoras triangle to design the front?
the 1.6 turbo is not sellable. Hyundai tried to price it almost the same price as the civic turbo high spec and even paultan said that they prefer the elantra turbo. from the start i already know it will lose out to the civic turbo and i get bashed and accused for being a honda salesman. time has proven that the civic turbo lives on while the so-called-highly acclaimed elantra turbo is now dead.
Only in malaysia. Here in singapore more ppl buy the avante
singaporean buying cheap stuffs cos they only driving on week end …
The elantra had poor sales due to its interior being somewhat old fashioned in comparison to the civic. The argument that the honda’s powertrain is better is ridiculous.
Give me a dual clutch 200hp engine over a trash CVT with measly 170hp any day of the week.
The elentra turbo is og equivalent to civic Si in other country. It is priced at civic cvt here in msia and still buyers sway to civic because of resale value. Buyers in malaysia put resale value as no1 priority and specification as secondary simply due to our income or purchasing power is weak, and the price of vehicle is high. When one bought a car, he needs to think of how much he would loose in 5 years time since he is serving the loan. Ofcourse this is applicable to lower middle income and below. Hence we cant take a high sales car in malaysia as a default good quality cars. Myvi is a high volume cars, so does vios but they are crappy cars that wont see the light of day in a developed countries
Sales are slow. Hence, a cost down offering.
Oh nooo not the Elantra 1.6T..*sighs*
Priced competitively against the top spec Civic 1.5T, it loses out in terms of sales.
Tho in terms of performance, the Elantra Turbo outperforms the Civic Turbo..yeah, Elantra Turbo smokes the Civic Turbo real good!
Trust me on this one..Elantra Turbo competes the sportier Civic Si, which is exclusively North American only model..not our family-biased Civic 1.8 or 1.5T in Malaysia.
2.0NA? Please la, should benchmark civic
110k using “handbrake” and best even is it MANUAL aircond. Wow, paying a price tag of 110k getting this shitty stuff. I wonder how many dxmbass will pay for this car.
So they how go against the N/A Civic with that kind of price. Both also no LED headlamps lol
Come on Hyundai Malaysia, bring in Elantra I30n.
Main problem with Korean cars is they drive like shit. Even perodua cars drive better.
Until they fix that, they wont even come close to competing with china cars yet alone Jap cars.
The version we get is the lower spec version of other countries, but as usual, rip off from simedarby again.
…if HSDB can offer the upcoming elantra 1.6 sport GDI turbo with price tag below than 110k & lowering the current 2.0 exec model
Too low specification. Remember previously people still buying Elentra 1.8. paying 110k or 120k doesn’t make a big different. Spec up please.
