What is the Hyundai Elantra?

The Hyundai Elantra is a type of car called a compact car. This means it's a good size for everyday driving, not too big and not too small. It's known for being a reliable and affordable car.

A Car Through the Years

The Elantra has been around for a long time, first appearing in 1990. Over the years, it has changed a lot. Car companies often update their models every few years. These updates are called "generations." The Elantra is now in its sixth main generation, meaning it has been completely redesigned six times since it first came out.

Different Styles and Names

While most Elantras are sedans (cars with four doors and a separate trunk), other versions have been made too. For example, starting in 2012, Hyundai also offered a two-door coupé model. There have also been hatchbacks or "Touring" models, which have a back door that lifts up to access the cargo area.

As mentioned, the Elantra is called the Avante in South Korea. This is common for car models to have different names in different countries. No matter the name, the Elantra/Avante is a well-known car around the globe.
