近日谍照记者首次拍到了正在进行冬季寒冷气候测试的下一代现代伊兰特。与老款车相比，新车外观并没有太大变化，只是与现代最近发布的i20和i30改款车共享了更多元素，因此新车线条更锐利，另外采用了渐进式改款的蜂巢格栅。从谍照看，前大灯并没有像现行版那样向后延伸，而尾灯组也不像现行版那么富有曲线，而是更平直。新车与老款车一样保持了向后倾斜车顶线条，前保险杠侧面增加了LED日间行驶灯。而从内装照片看，内饰材料质量更高，可以有更多内装选择。至于动力系统，新车将搭载一系列CRDi柴油和Turbo GDi汽油引擎，另外也有可能提供混动系统，但不会在新车刚一上市就提供。在轿车版上市一年以后还将增加轿跑车版本，同时现代还将针对美加市场推出GT五门掀背车。

 

Next generation Hyundai Elantra makes spy photo debut, cabin pics included

The next generation Hyundai Elantra has been spied for the first time during preliminary winter testing.

 

Commercialized in South Korea as the "Avante", Hyundai's new Elantra won't look that much different compared to the outgoing model but it will get the latest styling updates introduced with the i20 and i30 facelift so look for sharper lines creating a more evolved design enhanced by a revised hexagonal grille. Judging by these spy images, the headlights don't seem to stretch that far back as they do on the current model while the curvy taillights should be replaced with more linear ones.

 

Codenamed AD, the new Elantra/Avante will keep the sloping roofline while up front on the bumper's side there are strips of LED daytime running lights. There are also some shots of the interior cabin which could host slightly better materials and more choices in terms of trims & upholsteries.

 

Under the hood there should be an array of CRDi diesel and Turbo GDi gasoline engines used in the latest Hyundai & Kia models and there are also talks of a more frugal hybrid derivative but that won't probably be available from day one. A coupe version should follow a year after the sedan's launch and there also might be a five-door GT hatchback variant for United States and Canada.
