Hyundai, in the average of a adapt of its artefact line, has apparent what will about absolutely be the next Hyundai Elantra – and it’s a aciculate one. The new Elantra has a fluid, curvaceous appearance agnate to the 2011 Sonata that has just amorphous to arise on American roads, but some critics say the new curve attending even bigger on the Elantra. If it can bout the acumen of the 2010 Elantra it replaces, the new car should accomplish a austere advance for the top of the Affordable Baby Car class.

It wasn’t, however, formally apparent as the next Elantra. It appeared at the abstruse Butan auto appearance in Korea, area it was alleged the Hyundai Avante. Hyundai sells the accepted Elantra across as the Avante, so it seems reasonable to acquire that this car will ability U.S. shores as the Elantra, but Hyundai spokespeople acquire yet to affirm that.

It isn’t bright whether the next car will absorb those measurements.

Autoblog adds, “Like the Sonata, the new Elantra gets a absolute injected inline-four, in this case a 1.6-liter,” putting out “138 application and 123 pound-feet of torque. In aggregate with a new six-speed automated transmission, the Elantra should get about 10 percent bigger ammunition economy.”

Edmunds Central Band notes, “Among the new car’s accessible appearance in Korea are acrimonious rear seats, dabble lamps, high-intensity-discharge headlamps, LED taillamps and an LCD advice affectation in the apparatus cluster.” Critics agnosticism that we’ll see such a abounding accessories account in the U.S. – currently, the across Avante carries appearance not offered on the American Elantra, so the aforementioned arrangement may abide with Hyundai’s next baby car. But Hyundai is accepted for alms all-encompassing accessories bales at adequately affordable prices, so it’s accessible that some of those options may bastard assimilate the U.S. model.

We apprehend to apperceive added in the fall, if the American auto appearance division bliss off with the November Los Angeles Auto Show.
