Hyundai is set to debut the facelifted Elantra at the Shanghai Auto Show next month, marking a significant update for the popular compact sedan. The current Elantra is manufactured in China by the Beijing-Hyundai joint venture, but the production location for the new models, including the Mufasa SUV and Lafesta N Line Sedan, has not been specified.
The Beijing-Hyundai Mufasa Adventure concept car and the Lafesta N Line Sedan were recently unveiled in China, indicating Hyundai's commitment to the Chinese market. The Mufasa, a new sporty SUV, is designed specifically for the Chinese market, while the Lafesta N Line Sedan has a starting price of 19,300 USD.
While the facelifted Elantra is set to make its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show, the biggest changes for the updated model are expected to be at the front and back. The design direction for the facelifted Elantra, though not explicitly named, is likely to be influenced by Peter Schreyer, Hyundai's chief stylist and president, and Luke Donkerwalke, the head of Hyundai Motor Company's design center, who play key roles in Hyundai's design direction.
It's important to note that there are no mentions of Telegram or Google News accounts related to the new Mufasa or Lafesta models in this context, nor are there any China Spy Shots or new information about the facelifted Elantra, such as its features, release date, or additional production locations.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the Shanghai Auto Show next month, where Hyundai is expected to reveal more details about the facelifted Elantra.
