Just check with the SE. Basic model stands at $73,999 and the S model stands at $78,999. U will still enjoy the 5+2 years extended warranty and 7 years Free Service. This package will be taken out once the Avante passed inspection. Anyone purchase the Avante after it has passed inspection will not be given 7 years Warranty and 7 years free service.

 

Just wondering why the price did not drop even when COE drop

They foresee the coe will go up?

If the OMV is close to that of  the out going Elantra(about $12k) , then the total cost base on current COE will be about $57k only,  it is not worth buying it unless one goes for the look only. So lets wait for the OMV and see how it goes.    Now Hyundai is turning the tide around , they are selling better than Toyota, so KM is  doing what BM did to their customer before.

Would you all forgo the 7+7 years for a 2800 discount and warranty drop to 5 years?

[teomingern]

New model always costs more lar... just wait 6 months... the price will drop...

[Heartbreakid]

Indeed with the recent COE prices, their cars should be selling at a price range of 65k to 75k.

Not 57k, only 51.7k for total cost base on 12k omv.

no reason to drop the price as

1) seem current buying trend can accept this price level.

2) is still cheaper than Japan brand.

In a nut shell, a tad unsafe if driven hard... never a good idea to take it on the nshw than..

Torsion beam is not unsafe. Having it doesn't mean you cannot driven hard.

 

A properly tuning torsion beam can still corner well. Some hot hatches used torsion beams too like the FN civic type R, polo GTI, Colt turbo and Swift Sport.

I won't say that all those small petrol turbos are good... many of the Continental brands in a bid to push power output to drive a larger car and quell the intense heat produced by the turbo, spray fuel to cool the engine resulting in higher than declared fuel consumption and very poor emission levels. There are many attendant issues with those engines... I read an article on Autocar that the most reasonable small petrol turbo engine capacity which is both powerful enough and saves fuel plus gives good emission is the 1.6 turbo... anything smaller is a waste of time. That's also why some of these engines which used to power larger cars have slowly disappeared... they fail the new inspection regimes in Europe and US miserably...

 

I don't know how these  small 3 cylinder 12V engine can move the car. And to pay $136K for a 999cc car?

 

Kia Stonic 1.0 turbo

Hyundai Kona 1.0 turbo

VW Polo 1.0 turbo

Seat Arona 1.0 turbo - SUV 

Seat Leon Tourer 1.0 turbo

Audi A3 sedan 1.0 turbo - $136K

Power isn't too bad for the small cars... but the engine works really very hard... not very good for longevity... or reliability...

1.0 3 cylinder churning out so much torque......

 

1.4 already have pistons cracking....1.0 I don't dare to think

Just because a certain German car maker made a bad name for the small turbos (I assume that is what most people reference to) or the DSG doesn't mean all are bad.

 

But well everyone has their own preference. That's why 20 years down the road 1.6NA will continue to be sold here (assuming COE structure stays the same and oil companies continue their grip on our economy)

More or less the same specs when KMC brought in the previous Elantra model. High OMV with lots of features. Then they brought in watered down specs with lower OMVs.

I didnt handle the first shipment in 2016.

 

But for this versus previous shipment, these changes were declared.
