It Looks Like the Elantra Is About to Be Less Ugly

The Hyundai Elantra N is one of our favorite small performance cars. It's more fun to drive than many dedicated sports cars and is pretty much an unparalleled value, coming in at thousands less than the cars it directly competes with. However, there's always been one issue: it's tough to look at.

It's true, the Elantra and Elantra N, for as brilliant as they are to drive and how nice the interiors are, can be tough on the eyes when you're walking up to it. A big part is the massive expanse of grille, just a big black chasm that overpowers everything. Thankfully, Hyundai just unveiled a refreshed Elantra for Korea, and the hope is that we'll be getting it soon. It just looks so much better.
