South Korean novelty may debut this year at the Los
Angeles Auto Show. Now we are looking at a prototype car for the first time. Now there is evidence that a
full-fledged presentation of Elantra will be organized soon. In the meantime,
foreign journalists have published “spy” photos of the next-generation Hyundai
Elantra prototype.
Although this is our first look at the new Elantra,
we can already make some predictions about what customers should expect. The next-generation Elantra will probably borrow
design replicas from the Hyundai Sonata 2020 sedan model year, which debuted
earlier this year. We think that as a result, the new Elantra will acquire a
more aggressive design. Hyundai is likely to update the interior of the
Elantra.
Under the hood of a South Korean car you should not
expect big changes. The naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine will remain –
it could be the new engine of the SmartStream family. Most likely, it will be
combined with a variator and six-speed manual gearbox, offered in the current
version of the car. It is also expected the emergence of economical engine with
turbocharging. However, we do not know whether a sports version of the model
will be offered. Hyundai talked about the possibility of the appearance of a
fully electric car.
Rumors suggest that the car might make its debut as
a 2021 model at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this year.
