This is the new Hyundai Avante, which debuted yesterday in Seoul, South Korea. Outside of the brand\u2019s homeland, the Avante wears Elantra badges, meaning this car serves as a preview of the next U.S.-market Hyundai Elantra.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new sedan wears the stretched lights, flowing lines, and body creases that define Hyundai\u2019s \u201cfluidic sculpture\u201d design language, as seen on the Genesis and Sonata. The Avante also shares many styling cues with the smaller Hyundai Verna\/Accent<\/a> we saw in Beijing last week.<\/p>\n

Under the hood is a 1.6-liter gasoline engine hooked up to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine makes 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque, and features variable valve timing, direct injection, and variable intake geometry. Despite being positioned as an entry-level small car, the Avante packs HID and LED lighting, heated seats, and a color LCD screen in the instrument cluster.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Avante goes on sale later this year in Korea. We can probably expect a new Elantra sedan for our shores by 2011, although we don\u2019t yet know what specific equipment will carry over. We\u2019ll update you as soon as we know more.<\/p>\n
