The Hyundai Elantra was Hyundai's flagship sedan in the Indian market and not only boasted an impressive design language but in addition to this, also offered an extremely comfortable cabin and an extensive features list to the buyers. While Hyundai introduced the updated iterations of the sedan in the global markets, it is yet to make any official announcement about the launch of the next-gen Elantra in India. However, the Korean carmaker recently removed the Elantra from its official website. It is however yet to be known whether the brand is now working or introducing the next-gen model in India or it has finally axed the Elantra from its portfolio. Here are all the details that we know so far.
With demands for SUVs growing many folds in recent times, there is a sudden dip in the overall sales numbers and the premium C-segment executive sedan segment was worst hit by this new trend. The Elantra was the only sedan in this segment after the Skoda Octavia and offered a comfortable, good-looking, and premium package to the buyers. In addition to this, the Elantra was the only sedan in the segment right now to offer a diesel engine to buyers looking for something that offers affordable running costs.
