2019 Hyundai Elantra Facelift has been spotted in India for the first time. It will receive some minors updates and feature additions. The launch is expected in second half of 2019.
Hyundai Elantra has survived 3 generations in India. The first one looked a bit sporty and relatively smaller than the outgoing one. The current gen Elantra looks upscale and an ideal competitor for its segment rivals.
Here are the first set of spy pics of 2019 Hyundai Elantra facelift, that was spotted testing in Ooty. The facelifted sedan was camouflaged, but it looked more premium than the current one.
As we see the spy pics, it gets a sharper and aggressive front portion and a bit of revised exterior. It will use Creta’s cascading front grille with the sharp design style. Spotted test mule also gets a new set of alloy wheels.
