Elantra’s Exterior:

Automotive analysts admire the exterior design of the new Elantra. It looks more violent and stronger in comparison to its rivals in its category. Hyundai’s now-familiar fluidic sculpture design language differentiates the exterior of Elantra that is aimed to remind the interplay of breeze with inflexible surfaces to make the delusion of stable activity. Elantra’s Exterior will get a bit of a border to the car’s organic appearance with different character lines that run from the front doors through the door handles previous to finish in the back lights. These lines, with wheel arches and a sleek roofline, make this a sporty looking car.

Elantra’s hexagonal front grill and other external form appear more clean and comprehensive. Its exterior will be featured with body-color front, rear bumpers, day time running lights, and heated & body-color driver and passenger power door mirrors. It will also have headlights, halogen with complex surface lenses, alloy-look luxury trim, back window with defroster, intermittent windshield wipers, and tinted glass. Its external measurement will be 178.3*69.9*56.5 inches and its weight will be 2,701 lbs.
