Officially Rendered: 2016 Hyundai Elantra Teased Before Debut - The Art of Gears
In order to whet our appetites for the next generation of Hyundai’s best selling small compact, an official rendering has hit the web. Competitively priced, chock full of options and styled to boot, the Hyundai Elantra has always been an important car for this Korean conglomerate. 19, 2015) we caught wind that Hyundai dropped an official rendering of their next generation Hyundai Elantra to be revealed later this year. Immediately obvious is the fact that Hyundai’s designers have pushed the front and elongated the hood as well as shortened the back to give that all important sporty look. The headlights are much longer and angled and the front is definitely sporting the signature Hyundai design language that we’ve seen before. On top of that lineup will be Hyundai’s 1. 6 liter turbocharged direct injection engine delivering 175 HP all paired to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. We’ll see how that engine fares when the EPA gets their hands on it. We having a feeling that the base 1. 8 engine with its 145 HP/130 lb-ft rating might carry over for next year for base model. This new Elantra will be much slippier than the previous generation with a. 27 Cd. In addition, Hyundai is aiming for this Elantra to score a 5-Star rating with whatever the IIHS throws its way, that includes the small overlap crash test. Source: artofgears.com
