Expected to be priced between Rs 13 lakh and Rs 16 lakh, the all-new Elantra will hit Indian showrooms in late 2012.

After five years Hyundai has decided to re-enter the premium sedan segment with their all-new Elantra. Badged as the i40, the new Elantra wears Hyundai’s new fluidic design language. Needless the say, the Elantra is a properly good looking car and based on the success of the Verna in India, expect the new Elantra to be a success as well.

Besides its looks, the new Elantra comes loaded with equipment like a touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav and Bluetooth, heated door mirrors and steering wheel, ventilated front seats, electric front seats with driver’s seat memory function, dual zone climate control, cruise control, leather upholstery, keyless entry, start/stop function, front and rear parking sensors, automatic hill hold function and panoramic sunroof.

Under the hood the India bound models are likely to sport two power mills, a 1.8-litre petrol motor developing 150PS of power and 177Nm of torque and a 1.8-litre common-rail diesel engine.
