Side by side: why the new Hyundai Elantra is four-door coupe?
Recently Hyundai introduced the Elantra sedan updated, cityradio promised to do seriously better than its predecessor. In fact, what happened. On the appeared new Elantra we wrote yesterday, Hyundai revealed an updated Elantra: new look, more technology , and now is the time to compare both models side by side. The more that two versions of the same model profess a vastly different approach to the exterior. Let’s start with that.
Difference in the appearance of two-Hyundai Elantra
Perhaps the main difference between the Hyundai 2021 is one stylistic caveat that the model actually turned into a four-door coupe, moving from the classic sedan, which the Elantra continued to be throughout its existence, in the direction of new-fangled design, actively used German car.
At least, allude to it many authoritative automotive publication, pointing to certain elements of the style of the new Elantra.
But despite the adoption of a new design of the Korean company-the automaker’s “Sensuous Sportiness”, it crashes Elantra instantly recognisable as the Elantra, because:
received evolutionary grille, inherited from earlier models in the line Hyundai. Filesresearch seems shorter and wider than before. Angular accents on the front bumper are also migrated, but homologated and get a more modern design;
the lights also become more stylish, you still can’t confuse even very versed in the Korean ruler of the motorist – he knows exactly famous sedan (although the decision to set the turn signals in the grille need to get used);
big brand logo Hyundai is bigger and moved to the hood. So even if you don’t know the model, make sure not to confuse!
Larger changes can be seen if you examine the body and on the side next to the trunk. The new version has clearly become more difficult externally, stranger. The cloth of her body was suddenly bends, which at the first examination are not visible, but easily identifitseerida in comparison.
Some creases on the doors are worth! And raised the rear bumper! Sloping roof, blending smoothly into the trunk, also on the edges of the ends of the two modern lines around the edges of the roof. And it is here that it becomes apparent that the novelty really has it a body “four-door coupe” and not any other, in particular a conventional sedan.
Emphasize the monumentality of the massive rear pillars and a large “overhang of the trunk” over the rear lights. By the way, the lights they now have Hyundai combined single led strip.
In General, autonomica literally woven of contradictions, and this becomes particularly evident when the literal comparison photos. Even angular restyled Hyundai previous, sixth-generation amid the new VII looks like something more seamless, not to mention the versions of the 2016 model year.
