While the current, seventh-gen has only been around for five years, the brand built the fifth- and sixth-generation models for five years, so an all-new model would be right on schedule.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>What will distinguish this new model from its predecessor? Well, for starters, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/hyundai\/\">Hyundai<\/a> will thoroughly update the sedan&rsquo;s design and we have bad news for those who&rsquo;ve never really liked the edgy shape of the current model. Based on this prototype, as well as recently-published renderings, it appears the all-new Elantra will have a design equally as polarizing as its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/08\/hyundais-compact-wagon-refuses-to-die\/\">Hyundai&rsquo;s Compact Wagon Defies The Odds With A Rare Third Facelift<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The front end will include a full-width LED light bar joined by angular LED daytime running lights. The main headlamps will then be positioned on the lower blanks of the bumper. A large, square shaped grille is also expected, complete with plenty of sharp corners, and largely void of any soft curves or creases.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>The side profile of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/08\/hyundai-elantra-gains-two-new-trims-and-1150-cheaper-hybrid\/\">the new Elantra<\/a> also looks quite different. We can discern a squared-off rear window and a tailgate sitting higher than the current car, making the rear appear somewhat reminiscent of the new electric Kia EV4 sedan. There are also new vertical brake lights, and perhaps a light bar connecting them.<\/p>\n<p>The <em><a href=\"https:\/\/thekoreancarblog.com\/new-spy-photos-confirm-front-design-of-next-gen-hyundai-elantra-preview-was-spot-on\/#google_vignette\">Korean Car Blog<\/a><\/em> understands that like the current model, the new one will be offered with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and as a hybrid. In select markets, an LPG-powered version is also on the cards.
