The seventh-generation Hyundai Elantra has officially been launched in Malaysia. Just one variant – the 1.6L IVT – will be offered, and the fully imported C-segment sedan is currently priced at RM158,888.
It’s the second car to be styled based on the automaker’s Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy, after the Sonata. Power comes from a 1.6 litre naturally-aspirated Smartstream G engine, producing 123 PS at 6,300 rpm and 154 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. The MPI engine is paired with Hyundai’s own Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) with eight virtual speeds.
All in, the front-wheel drive sedan will do the zero to 100 km/h sprint in 10.4 seconds before topping out at 196 km/h. The in-house claimed combined fuel consumption is 5.6 litres per 100 km, or 17.85 km/l.
In terms of equipment, the Elantra gets bi-LED projector lights with LED DRLs, 17-inch dual-tone wheels, smart trunk release, a 10.25-inch Supervision LCD instrument panel, eight-inch touchscreen head unit with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Qi wireless smartphone charging tray, perforated leather seats with heating and ventilation function (both front seats), heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and variable front cubby holes.
For safety, Hyundai SmartSense is offered as standard. Features include Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Blind Spot Collision with Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Collision (RCCA) with Avoidance Assist, Safe Exit Warning, Driver Attention Warning (DAW), Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA) and Rear Occupant Alert.

Same segment rival, Lexus IS at rm350K…so this price dem cheap. or even get ohsem ioniq.
Brave sime darby
Hello Mr Sime Darby,at 160k…1.Buyers must be brand addicted.2.Buyers can’t do the math.3.Buyers seemingly can t appreciate other brands.4.Buyers are still plentiful.Lets wait till CNY to see if huge discounts are given by then.
Who the hell addicted to hyundai?
For goat sake, is their own money… let them buy whatever car they wanted. even that RM1,360 salary civil officer to owned Ford Mustang GT ….its his owned money. society shouldnt force & dictate what car other pipel must buy, or canot buy..
nice car but sigh the price.
Max is 120k for this engine output.
Gov is raising the bar the car prices. Look at camry, accord, rav4..those were ridiculously priced where it suppose to sit at circa 150k. And now they are raising C-seg to 150k mark. Really sad.
Matter of time B-seg will reach 120k mark. Mazda 3 already passed 100k.
u mean mazda 2. mazda 3 is same level as honda civic >100k
Gomen regulate price,not raising price.Sime Darby can even price it at 180K,but will anyone bother to buy?
You are only partly right ..as Sime Darby is GLC.
Just like UMW,they dont give a damn if buyers have to eat less just to qualify for a 7-9 years loan.
By doing due diligence,buyers can enforce a “NO BUY” moratorium..6 months later,they will start giving hefty discounts with dismal sales amidst rising unsold stocks.
With the price cbu c segment at least give 2.0cc. like Mazda 3 highest spec. Sime Darby so kind, launch the Sonata to help Camry, Accord sell the car. Now Elantra helping Mazda to sell Mazda 3.
2.0cc…lol…hahahahaha
zero to 100 km/h sprint in 10.4 seconds before topping out at 196 km/h is relatively slow in today’s standard for a C-Segment.
Underpowered, overpriced and no brand cachet. who would buy this?
The most expensive 1.6 NA in the market.
Better buy hyundai ioniq la, 115K. 1.6 oso, older smartsense can save fuel too
I like the interior.. But at this price for a 1.6 Na Korean just doesn’t make sense
FIRST LOOK, ONCE LOOKED, NO LOOKING BACK
lets boycott this madness of sime darby until it drops circa 135k considered it’s CBU unit…pray for the next CKD it will be prized to 110k and give a challenge to altis n civic
even matthew unenthusiastic doing this poor car review
sloggin throughout the review…can feel it
Even sime darby staff who will get 7% disc for this car also dun want want to buy
No market for a 120ps rm160k c segment Korean car.
better buy x50. Best choice, tarak pening, family happy and bergaya. With remaining cash, can go cuti cuti whole family. Still with remaining cash, kasi mekap x50 until lebam.
RIP Elantara!
rubbish car compared to x70
When the bench mark (Mers/BMW/VW/Toyota) increase their price 20-25%^ (Toyota RAV4 est. RM200k) this goes to all new models.
The lower level (Hyundai/KIA/SUZUKI) will have to closing the gap (increase price) parts & components material has increase as well.
Don’t be surprised next 10yrs, a Civik will cost RM200k, Elantra at RM180k and Saga near to RM70-80k
Even 100k also i wont buy this junk.
