โ๏ธHyundai just made the Elantra look way more aggressive than anyone expected.
The next-generation model debuted in South Korea as the Avante, which is the Korean-market name for the Elantra.
It was revealed at the 2026 Busan Mobility Show with a full redesign, sharper body lines, slim lighting, a boxier rear end, and a much more futuristic overall shape.
The side profile is probably the most shocking part because it looks longer, lower, and more concept-car-like than the current Elantra.
Inside, Hyundai gave it a much more tech-heavy cabin with a large center screen, digital display setup, and a cleaner dashboard design.
The Avante goes on sale in Korea first, while the U.S.-market Elantra is expected to follow later, likely in 2027.
Hyundai could have played it safe with a normal compact sedan refresh, but instead it gave the Elantra real sci-fi concept car energy.
Would you take this new Elantra design over a Civic or Corolla?
