New Hyundai Elantra arrives Down Under


New Hyundai Elantra arrives Down Under

Author: NRMA Driver's SeatDate: 17 June 2011

The all-new Elantra, a compact sedan which completes Hyundai Motor Company Australia’s line-up in the small segment, is now starting to arrive in showrooms.

The all-new Elantra demonstrates Hyundai’s ‘New Thinking. New Possibilities’ philosophy, delivering advanced safety technology, an efficient powertrain and contemporary styling.

Designed at Hyundai's North American Design Centre in Irvine California, Elantra exemplifies Hyundai’s ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ design philosophy. Creating the illusion of constant motion, flowing lines with a strong undercut feature are contrasted with muscular wheel arches and a seamless roofline.

The result is a sleek aerodynamic on-road stance. Hyundai’s signature hexagonal front grille and swept-back headlights give Elantra a compact athletic face.

Inside the all-new Elantra, Hyundai’s expertise in interior design and packaging are evident. The a new interior concept is called ‘Wind Craft’, a dynamic and futuristic direction which informs a striking and stylish cockpit. The combination piano-black and chrome finishes add a quality, high-tech feel to the interior of Elantra.

The all-new Elantra will be available with a 1.8 Litre MPI powertrain in three trim levels - Active, Elite and Premium mated with a 6-speed manual (Active only) or 6-speed automatic transmission.

Pricing for the Active Elite Premium 1.8L MPI (6- speed manual transmission) $20,590; 1.8L MPI (6-speed auto transmission) from $22,590.

Our Tim Pomory will be attending the launch later this month and will report back via this site and Twitter what the new Elantra is like to drive.
