Hyundai Elantra
Courtesy
of The Korean Car Blog, spyshots of the 2017 Hyundai Elantra (Hyundai Avante in
Korea) from the production line has surfaced online, revealing an evolutionary
design inspired by Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0.
The
2017 Hyundai Elantra gets a sleek pair of projector headlamps flanking a wider
and angular 6-point grille with bold horizontal slats. The lower fascia also
features boomerang elements that house round foglamps.
The
side profile has a strong shoulder line from the front wheel arch, new C-pillar
design, and 16-inch alloy rims, while the rear sports large taillamps with
interesting LED clusters, a sculpted spoiler and a new bumper design. Reports
suggest that the body of the new Elantra is one of the most aero-efficient in
its segment, with a low drag coefficient of 0.27 Cd.

Also
revealed is the interior of the 2017 Hyundai Elantra, which features a
toned-down design that draws cues from the 2015 Hyundai Sonata and 2016 Hyundai
Tucson. It now comes with a chunky 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel, new
instrument dials, dull silver garnish on the dashboard and pedals with aluminum
inserts. Also equipped is an 8 inch touchscreen infotainment system in the
center, with support for Bluetooth connectivity.
Power
is likely to be sourced from the 1.6-liter T-GDi engine from the 2016 Hyundai
Tucson, which makes 175 hp. It is paired to Hyundai’s new seven-speed
dual-clutch gearbox. As for a diesel option, it could also source the new 1.7-liter diesel engine, which delivers
141 hp and 340 Nm of torque in the Hyundai Sonata, and is also mated to a
7-speed DCT.
While
the 2017 Hyundai Avante for Korea could make its debut in the coming weeks, its
global model, the 2017 Hyundai Elantra, could be unveiled in November at the
2015 Los Angeles Auto Show.
