Yahoo Autos Hyundai Elantra refresh previewed in Korea revealing new exterior styling
Here’s an early preview of what the mid-cycle refresh will look like for the Hyundai Elantra. The vehicle you’re looking at here is called Avante, which is what Hyundai calls the Elantra in Korea. Ahead of any U.S.-specific Elantra information coming out, Hyundai went ahead and just revealed the refreshed Avante.
The reveal today is exclusively a design preview. Hyundai dropped a few pics but didn’t provide any accompanying information or details about mid-cycle changes. The most apparent difference is a new front fascia. Hyundai designed a new grille that is considerably smaller than before, but considering the current grille took up most of the front end, there weren’t many options to go bigger. The area below the grille is redesigned with a slatted vent look, and it also gets new lower bumper side air intake inserts. To top it all off, new headlights with re-styled daytime running lights emphasize the wide, horizontal design language Hyundai is employing.
