This sportier avatar of Elantra include a redesigned bumpers, bumper extensions (front and rear), all new rear wing, plastic bling on wheels, sportier gear knob, metal pedals dual tone sport seats and much more.
It is unclear if the Hyundai Elantra here has any updates under the hood. Looking at the exterior design, here seems to have tuned the engine, so this Elantra sport sedan does’nt disappoints on-road. However, the South Korean car maker hasn’t revealed anything, apart from displaying the car in flesh. Also it is unclear if this will ever be launched, or was it just an eye candy at the 2012 Thai Motor Expo.
