It is an all new model which is planned to launch earlier (just 1.5 years after the facelifted Avante was introduced) because the facelifted Avante styling apparently wasn't very well received and sales weren't good globally.

Tks! Then they better ensure that this new model styling is up to mark!

Alas I think not... the side has this squashed look like it got into an accident...

Haha. Ya, the triangular lines. Dont think it will be a looker externally. It seems even a step backwards than current one. I hope to be proven wrong. For now I just hope the interior is impressive.

The image render ones should be a better looker than actual. Why? Firstly, it doesn't have the triangular theme on the side of the body. Secondly, it has a rear quarter window instead of a blanked out moulding which the actual car has.

Whatever the looks, price plays a big factor in Singapore.

Hyundai was the 4th best selling car in Singapore in 2019, with the "ugly" Avante making up most of the sales. What does that say? 

 

It pack with all the safety features. Blind spot warning, lane departure warning, mulit airbags, hill stop, 8" infotainment link Google and iOS and etc.

Agreed la, own preference. 

Totally agreed. Singapore is just a tiny market for Hyundai.

Hyundai is moving to European style. Packing with the safety features.

275hp Elantra is always  welcomed in SG. Make it a 6MT like the current i30N and it will be great

Agreed. I like the design of the AD cos I used to own one. That's a better design than the MD. The current Avante is not nice, especially the rear and you can see the rear camera at the top part of the boot. 

I feel that there is more to car design than just little details like where they place the rear cam.

Its also about the overall shape of the car, the proportions, the stance, the surfacing, and how it looks from all angles. After that, then we look at the design of all the various elements like grille, wheel arches, window and crease lines, spoilers, size and design of wheels etc.  

Sometimes the car design is also shaped by engineering and/or aerodynamic needs. So we also need to understand those before we can appreciate the design. 

Having said that, I am not saying I support the latest Hyundai designs! I feel that the latest Sonata looks like a sad Hyena!

Think problem is, when here, people look at pricing and say so ex, might as well top up a bit more and get an equivalent conti brand model.......

The first photo looks good... but only in that colour and lighting... from the video, the side really looks like kenna langga like that... the renders not realistic cos the front grille is very exaggerated... I think still got to wait to see the car in real flesh to see how it all pans out... the side creases are quite unique for this class of cars... so let's hope it works out better than these sneak peeks...

N model equivalent would be BMW M spec. Definitely more than top up a little....

If top up a little to get an entry level conti badge, I would rather get the real deal than a dime a dozen wannabe car
