teomingern 6th Gear May 15, 2016 Share May 15, 2016 The new elantra using the same engine as current kia k3? Yes... same same.... they didn't update the engine to the latest GDI model cos of costs constraints to keep pricing competitive. Does the SX version come with sunroof & HID? Thanks Sunroof yes, but HID I think no... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thecarboy302 3rd Gear May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 Anyone has any news if and when the facelifted K3 Forte will arrive here? It is taking C&C unusually long to bring in this facelift model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

teomingern 6th Gear May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 I saw a brand new K3 this morning... SLC 3XXX plate. The pre-facelift model. I think C&C still clearing their backlog of orders... lots of people ordered the SX model I think when the COE dipped two months back but perhaps most were on non-guaranteed packages... so have to slowly clear by asking for significant top ups since the COE has risen by $2000 since two months ago....

Enzomatrix 2nd Gear May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 But most of the K3 I saw on roads doesn't come with sunroof. iirc, onli sports model has sunroof. Then they went back to SX and the latest SX has 2 airbags instead of 6, no HID. 1st Batch SX (Only 1 model then) HID, original touchscreen HU 2nd Batch SX no HID, normal HU without touchscreen 1st Batch EX Reflector instead of Projector headlamp iirc, tail lamp is bulb instead of LED 2nd Batch EX Projector headlamp and LED tail lamp 3rd Batch SX (Sports) HID, Sunroof 4th Batch SX (No more Sports kit) No HID and Sunroof, Airbags x 2 instead of 6 I might miss out here and there, subjected to correction. Of course I didnt include the freebies like Eurostyle HU and stuff. Do remember to retrieve your original HU/Rear mirror if they give you the Eurostyle HU/mirror as it is a gift or you paid for it. They install for you but the original unit still belongs to you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering civic also launched,took 6 month to deliver 1st car Yup like you said it only took 3 months for this new Elantra to come in after being on sale in Korea. But the facelifted K3 has been on sale in home country since December, that's 5 months ahead liao. I heard july/August but please don't quote me saw a new Elantra today on the roads SLC plate. Not too far off from now if it is true. iirc, onli sports model has sunroof.

Just hoping whenever this facelift arrives, the feature list do not get cut down more and more as it did with the pre-facelift as you mentioned.
