It was 2004 when Hyundai launched the Hyundai Elantra sedan in the premium car market in India. Then, the car used to come as a CBU and was pricier. In 2007, Hyundai discontinued the import of the Elantra but now after 5 long years, the fifth generation of Hyundai Elantra is all set to hit the Indian shores.
