Hyundai is planning a strong comeback in the American market. The Korean automaker has only sold a few cars here, but they have always been well received. That’s why Hyundai is giving their Elantra compact sedan a much-needed redesign for 2020. In addition to the refreshed exterior, the new Elantra will feature an all-new 2.0L engine that should be much more efficient than the current model’s 1.6L unit. While Hyundai hasn’t announced any specific details about the Elantra release date or price just yet, we do know that it will arrive as a 2020 model in the spring of next year. Look for it to go on sale before April of 2020 at around $16,000-$17,000 when it reaches dealerships. In this Hyundai 2020 Elantracoverview we'll take a look at everything you need to know about this upcoming redesign including its design changes and additional features that might make it worth your cash...
What’s New with the 2020 Hyundai Elantra?
Hyundai has released a handful of teaser photos so far, but we don’t yet have any official photos of the 2020 Elantra. However, that shouldn’t stop us from getting a preview of all of the changes Hyundai has planned. In fact, we already know a few things about the Elantra’s 2020 redesign thanks to the rumored redesign that Hyundai released last year. The new Elantra won’t feature a redesign for its front end. Instead, Hyundai will keep the same design it has had since the model went on sale in 2016. The 2020 Elantra will also likely stick with the same interior design as its current sibling, the Sonata. Hyundai has said that they plan on keeping the same interior for the next few years to help them keep costs down.
Hyundai Elantra Exterior and Interior Design Changes
The new Hyundai Elantra will likely get a redesigned exterior that is larger and more curvaceous than its current sibling. Hyundai will likely also add more chrome accents to the new Elantra’s front and rear ends. Hyundai has said that they will also add new colors to the Elantra’s palette. Interior changes for the 2020 Elantra should also be minor. The Elantra will likely get an all-new infotainment system and autonomous features such as lane-departure warning and automatic braking. Hyundai will also likely make some changes when it comes to the Elantra’s tech package. The Elantra should continue to get the same engines it has had since the model’s 2016 redesign.
New Engine for the 2020 Hyundai Elantra
Hyundai has not announced which engine will power the next-gen Elantra, but it seems like a safe bet that the car will get a new 2.0L engine. This engine could replace the current car’s 1.6L unit. The new Elantra should get a hybrid variant as well. This should help Hyundai keep up with the times as the majority of Americans expect all new cars to feature this technology. The new Elantra should also keep its current “Powered by Elantra” marketing campaign. Hyundai will likely keep this marketing campaign in place as the current Elantra is still a popular car.
Better Brakes and Tires for the 2020 Elantra
The 2020 Elantra should get better brakes than its current variant. This new Elantra should also get revised front brakes as well as improved brake pads. These brake changes should help the new Elantra get better fuel economy than the current model. The new Elantra should also receive revised suspension that should help it get better steering response. The new Elantra should also receive new tires for improved handling. Hyundai hasn’t said which tires it will use for the next-gen Elantra just yet, but it should get a set with better handling. The current Elantra gets a set of Bridgestone Potenza tires.
Driver-Assistance Features for the 2020 Hyundai Elantra
The new Elantra should continue to get Hyundai’s ProPilot Assist driver-assist technology. This tech should help the new Elantra get better fuel economy. The new Elantra should also get Hyundai’s Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) driver-assist system. Hyundai hasn’t said what the new Elantra will look like just yet, but it should keep its current design. Hyundai has also said that they plan to bring their new crossover to the U.S. in 2020. It will likely get a similar redesign as the new Elantra. Hyundai has said that the 2020 Elantra will have an all-new engine and hybrid variant.
