Hyundai Elantra 2021 is the 7th generation of the compact sedan. Hyundai Elantra started as a nondescript can on wheels, but over the years it has transformed into a miniature Audi A7 Sportback (and it is much cheaper). The Audi reference is no accident, as the current head of design for Hyundai is Luc Donckerwolke, former designer at Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Seat and Skoda. At Hyundai Donckerwolke replaced another Audi veteran - Peter Schreyer.

The front is dominated by the new parametric design grille, which we’ve seen in the new Tucson. The bonnet starts low, and seems stretched forward. That’s because of the reflective elements in the lower corners of the bumper. They create this optical illusion of the overhangs being much longer, and the front being much slimmer. In the rear the roofline goes straight into the rear window, and from there it flows seamlessly into the boot lid. There is a light bar going all the way across the back, and that also makes the Elantra look like an Audi A7 Sportback. However the A7 is a liftback, whereas the Elantra remains a sedan.

A compact sedan is almost extinct in Europe. On the Old Continent it is offered in Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, and further east. However the Elantra is doing fine in the Americas, in the Middle and Far East. Until recently it was Hyundai’s best-selling model, only to be dethroned by the Tucson.

In Europe closest to the Elantra is the i30 Fastback, but the 465 cm long Elantra is almost 20 cm longer, than the i30-based liftback. The Elantra is also 3 cm wider, and has 7 cm longer wheelbase. Also the Elantra is still made on a different platform. It may be a new platform for the 7th gen, but it’s still different to that on which the i30s are built.
