This is the Hyundai Elantra facelift, and as part of the update, the car gets a few styling changes, a refurbished interior and a little more equipment. But, to spot the exterior changes on the 2015 Elantra, you would need to look really hard.
In a bid to gain its lost ground in the mid-sized sedan segment, Hyundai India is now planning to launch the updated Verna in the country. While the updated Verna, known as Solaris, has already been launched in Russia, the Indian subsidiary of the Korean carmaker will launch it here on February 16, 2015.
The Hyundai Elantra facelift continues to use some bits and pieces from the outgoing car and these include the steering wheel, instrument cluster and the climate-control system. According to the reports, Hyundai has given the audio controls on the rear centre armrest the miss.
There are new L-shaped fog lamps that sit inside deeper enclosures in a front bumper that is more contoured. The only change you’ll see on the sides are the new 16-inch alloy wheels, but move to the back and you’ll find a new rear bumper with a blacked-out lower section, and new tail-lamps whose lighting pattern mimics LEDs.
The engines remain unchanged, of course, and that means a 1.8-litre petrol engine that produces 148bhp and 18.1kgm, and a 1.6-litre diesel engine with 126bhp and 26.5kgm of torque. Both engines can be had with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox, and Hyundai says the manual diesel’s 22.7kpl ARAI-rated fuel efficiency figure is the best in the segment.
