Exterior

The several styling updates that the Elantra carries makes it look significantly different from the earlier version. The front-end gets a new bumper along with an updated grille.

The new bonnet features some additional creases. Higher variants will feature LED headlights but lower trims will offer projector setups.

The posterior also receives L-shaped tail lights that make it look radically different.
