2027 Hyundai Elantra.
Last Updated:
The current generation Hyundai Elantra came out back in 2020. It received a “mid-cycle facelift” about 2 years ago. A new generation is rumored to come sometime next year.
Over the years, the Elantra has become and very modern-looking sedan. There is now a rumor from Korea about the next generation’s design being influenced by past models. Which I really hope won’t really happen. I really cannot think of a super great-looking Elantra from many generations ago. I think the “retro” part could adjust the lights that could be inspired by Hyundai‘s recent EVs like the Ioniq 5, 6, and 9.
The Elantra will be a very important car for Hyundai since by that time, as the Sonata could be gone. And will not be replaced. The new Elantra might even grow a little bit in order to replace both models. it will probably also end up being Hyundai’s last ICE sedan. Since they are one of the most aggressive EV brands in the world already offering an almost full portfolio of electric models.
The new car is also rumored to keep the current generation’s platform, which makes sense. It’s been a trend for the past couple of years for most manufacturers who have been spending most of their R&D money on EVs.
By 2027, the new Elantra could also be a hybrid-only model or even a PHEV. By then there will also be a new Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla and both of these could have a standard EV powertrain.
The last ICE Elantra could turn out to be quite an interesting new car…
Yeah sure Vince because something that looks like that would compete in the Elantra segment. This would be as expensive as the the EV6
