A Sneak Peek at the 2024 Hyundai Elantra
Posted on August 14, 2023
The Hyundai Elantra has been a favorite among compact sedan for years, notably thanks to its fuel economy, safety, technology, and unique design. As we approach the new model year, anticipation is building around the 2024 Hyundai Elantra, and with good reason. Based on recent releases in South Korea and some reliable rumors, here's what we can likely expect from the forthcoming model.
The 2024 Hyundai Elantra will likely take multiple cues from the redesigned Hyundai Avante, essentially the Korean Elantra, when it is released later this year. The Avante has recently been redesigned in Korea, and we expect to see many of its improvements on the 2024 Elantra here in Canada.
Exterior Design Updates
Firstly, design revisions are on the cards for the 2024 Hyundai Elantra. This stylish sedan is expected to receive an updated front grille and headlamps, giving it a sharper and more distinctive look. The wheels and the rear bumper are also likely to see some changes, enhancing the overall appeal of the vehicle. However, those fond of the current Elantra's interior design can breathe easy, as it's expected to remain largely the same. That said, we could see new upholstery options and updated infotainment features added, keeping the Elantra fresh and in line with its competitors.
Powertrain Continuity
When it comes to the powertrain, the 2024 Elantra is likely to retain its existing engines: the 2.0-liter inline-four, the turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four, and the Smartstream 1.6-liter Hybrid. The much-loved Elantra N model, Hyundai's performance-oriented variant, may receive mild styling changes. There's also a rumor of a slight power bump, which would be a welcome upgrade for performance enthusiasts. However, these rumors remain unverified.
Release Timeline
As for the release date, it's expected that the 2024 Elantra will debut sometime before the Fall. On the other hand, the refreshed Elantra N is anticipated to hit the markets by the end of the year, offering fans of the model plenty to look forward to.
In conclusion, while these predictions are based on available information and speculation, only the official announcement from Hyundai will confirm what the 2024 Elantra will entail. One thing is certain: Hyundai fans and compact sedan buyers alike have much to anticipate from the forthcoming Elantra.
