</p><p>&nbsp; <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Hyundai">Hyundai</a></u> has launched the 6th generation of <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Hyundai/Elantra"><u></u>Elantra<u></u></a> in India today with a price tag of Rs. 12.99 lakh that goes up to Rs. 19.19 lakh (all prices are ex-showroom, Delhi). Elantra nameplate is popular in the the developed markets but somehow hasn't been able to stamp its authority in India. It's got an interesting design in and out coupled with few nifty features. The car comes in five variants: S, SX, SX AT, SX (O) and SX (O) AT. &nbsp;The automatic variants, present in the last two trims are available with the petrol motor while the diesel engine with auto tranny is available only in the top trim.</p><p>&nbsp; On the exteriors, the car gets High Intensity Discharge (HID) projector headlamps wrapped with LED Daytime Running Lights, projector fog lamps with a boomerang-shaped air curtains to aid aerodynamics, and a bold trapezoidal grille. The fascia looks 'inspired' from some of the premium brands and fails to register an identity of its own. Side wise, it gets 16" 10 spoke alloy wheels that look good but don't have diamond cut effect as seen in its siblings. The chrome-door handles now get pocket lights (lights behind the door handles). Changes at the rear are more evolutionary than revolutionary. The rear bumper is given a dual-tone pattern with the exhausts being hidden from the public view much like its predecessor. The boot can be opened automatically, thanks to the Smart Trunk System. The taillights are now LED type. Sunroof's another new feature but shockingly it's made available only in the automatic models of the top trim! Another strange thing is the absence of rain-sensing wipers across all the trims. On the flip side, automatic headlamps are standard.</p><p>&nbsp; On the inside, few gizmos are added but most of them are limited to the higher variants only. The dashboard feels more upmarket than its previous model that had Fluidic design all over it. The dashboard and center console are inspired from its elder sibling, Sonata, which is a good thing. Interiors have an-all black theme that might not feel airy but certainly looks sporty. Leather upholstery is made available only in the top trim, SX (O). In the center, there's an 8" touch infotainment system that's equipped with Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Plus, it has voice based GPS navigation system and reverse camera. For comfort, there's dual-zone auto climate control with ventilation being provided in the front seats! Sadly, the latter is present again present in the automatic models of the top trim only. The driver's seat is given a 10-way electric adjustment with lumbar support as well. Other features present are cruise control, rear AC vents, push button start, glovebox cooling, auto-dimming interior mirror, vanity lights etc. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Under the hood, the car is powered by 2.0-litre VTVT petrol and 1.6-litre CRDI diesel engines. The petrol engine churns out 150 BHP @ 6200 RPM with a peak torque of 192 Nm @ 4000 RPM. On the other hand the diesel unit produces 126 BHP @ 4000 RPM and 260 Nm of torque @ 1900-2750 RPM. Both the engines have on option of 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions. Paddle-shifters and Sport mode are not available in the automatic models. However, they're equipped with Drive Mode Selector that's 1st in its segment. It has 3 modes: Normal, Eco and Sport.</p><p>&nbsp; Safety wise, dual airbags, ABS, all round disc brakes are standard across the range. The top-end trim, SX (O), also get Electronic stability control (ESC), Vehicle stability management (VSM) and Hill Start Assist (HSA). Furthermore, the automatic avatar of this top-end trim gets 6 airbags while the manual version gets only 2! This and features like sunroof and ventilated front seats are exclusive for the last trim i.e SX (O) AT.</p><p>&nbsp; Below is the price break up of the petrol models.
