2012 Hyundai Elantra Launched
Posted on 
At an introductory price of Rs 12.51 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for the base petrol version the Elantra isn't just gorgeous to look at, but offers top-of-the line comfort and convenience features, and is a major leap forward compared to its predecessor in almost every department
There and back again. The fourth generation Hyundai Elantra’s entry and early departure from Indian soil a few years ago was unfortunate but as we see it has proved to be a significant reality check for its Korean creator, who once again returns to the D segment battlefield but this time with a more able commander. And we are indeed smitten.
With the launch of its 5th generation Elantra, Hyundai hasn’t just earned more brownie points for its already successful fluidic design language but in a sense proved exactly how lethal an architecture it truly is in the form of this scrumptious looking sedan.
And the surprise doesn’t end there. Starting from the engine options on the new car, to its exhaustive features and premium interior fit and finish, the new Elantra packs in everything you’d expect from such a high-end passenger car and more.
First up are its 1,797cc petrol and 1,582cc diesel engine options, both of which are offered with a choice of manual or automatic transmission. The four cylinder petrol engine is capable of churning out a solid 149.5PS @6,500 rpm and a decent 181Nm of torque @ 4700 rpm. The diesel unit is incidentally the same CRDi engine fitted into the new Verna that pumps out a decent 128PS @ 4000 rpm and a rather decent 265Nm of torque between 1,900-2,750 rpm.

Elantra diesel has sameCRDi engine as verna with power 128PS@4000rpm and torque 265 Nm at a price of 3 lacs more,probably with added luxury.Both are strikingly good looking.Probably better fare than corollla altis and new fluence diesel even the upgraded version which packs less power for the money u dish out
