Hyundai are all set to introduce the Elantra facelift in global markets. Ahead of its unveiling, the carmaker shared a few images of the updated premium sedan. It is worth noting that the Elantra is sold with the Avante nameplate in the South Korean market. Read on to know the exterior and interior changes of the Elantra facelift.

2023 Hyundai Elantra Facelift Exterior Changes

For a mid-life facelift, the 2023 Elantra only boasts a handful of changes that differentiate it from the model it replaces. Most of the changes are concentrated on the front profile in the form of revised headlights and front grille. The grille now seems smaller thanks to a small body coloured partition that separates the low-positioned air intakes. The headlights are also slimmer and neatly merge into the grille, lending it an aggressive stance. Furthermore, the new Elantra also gets a flatter Hyundai logo that will now be standard across all new Hyundai models.

Speaking of the side and rear profiles, the Elantra offers minor design changes. The side profile receives a new set of dual-tone alloy wheels whereas the rear gets an updated bumper along with a diffuser and a silver element that wraps around the width of the bumper.

On the inside, the new Elantra continues to come with a wraparound design along with a flowing centre console. A pair of 10.25-inch screens incorporated within a curved glass casing take centrestage of the dashboard. Hyundai are yet to reveal the functional changes in the Elantra facelift.

2023 Hyundai Elantra Facelift Powertrain Options

In terms of powertrains, the current Elantra offers a choice of 3 engine options – a 1.6L normal petrol, a 2.0L normal petrol and a 1.6L turbo petrol engine options. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and dual-clutch transmission (DCT) options. The facelift is also likely to retain the same set of engine and transmission options. The 1.6L turbo petrol engine of the Elantra offers 204PS of power at 6000rpm and 265Nm of torque between 1500rpm and 4500rpm.

2023 Hyundai Elantra India Launch

Unfortunately, Hyundai are unlikely to launch the 2023 Elantra in India. The carmaker discontinued the previous-gen Elantra last year owing to sluggish sales. However, Hyundai are set to launch the next-gen Verna in India on March 21, 2023. Bookings for the upcoming Verna sedan are already open and you can read more about the new Verna by clicking the link below.
