The current iteration of the Hyundai Elantra still looks pretty fresh. This is thanks mainly to the fluidic design language, but Hyundai is not resting on its laurels and has been working on bringing the next generation model to India. Unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 2016 MY Elantra boasts an all-new interior and exterior design. The car has adopted an all-new design language under the helm of design guru Peter Schreyer – the new president of Hyundai-Kia motor group. We expect an official announcement regarding the 2016 Hyundai Elantra India launch to be made soon. Our guess is that the 2016 Hyundai Elantra India launch date will fall in September 2016. Prices could start at INR 16 Lakhs. Read on for more on the 2016 Hyundai Elantra India launch, price and specifications.

New Hyundai Elantra 2016 – Exterior
The design of the car seems to be slightly inspired by the Hyundai Genesis and Sonata sedans with sleeker looking headlamps with LED daytime running lights, an aggressively designed front bumper and a hexagonal grille (which is becoming a Hyundai staple design piece) with generous usage of chrome. Other design features include an all new tail lamp design complemented by a redesigned rear bumper and rear fenders.
New Hyundai Elantra 2016 – Interior
From the looks of it, the changes to the car’s cabin are pretty radical and the next Elantra features a sportier look on the inside. The official pictures reveal that the car will get a touchscreen infotainment system and some chrome highlights around the wedge-shaped aircon vents. Not much is really known about the upcoming car’s features list but easily expect it to set new benchmarks in its segment for the equipment list.
New Hyundai Elantra 2016 vs Old Elantra
The upcoming 2016 MY Elantra differs from the old one, currently sold here, in almost every aspect. On the outside, it’s all new and looks more grown up and mature. Instead of a two-part hexagonal grille you now get one large unit. As compared to the current car, the headlamps and tail lamps boast a much sleeker profile. Wheel arches aren’t as bold as before and, overall, the lines are much straighter. The new design is likely to appeal to a wider range of audience.
It a similar story on the inside as well. The dashboard looks less in-your-face now. It feels more sophisticated and, again, is likely to please a wider range of buyers. Engine and transmission options are likely to be carried over so no significant changes there.
