New 2022 Hyundai Elantra Rumors, Redesign
New 2022 Hyundai Elantra Rumors, Redesign – Currently, the Hyundai Elantra compact sedan has only been there since the model of 2017 years and has recently had a facelift. But it seems that the next-generation version is almost ready for release based on this Spy shot. They show a completely redesigned car that might take some cues from the all-new Hyundai Sonata.
From what we can see, this new Elantra will be lower, longer and wider. The lights and Grille sit much lower on the front façade, and the hood is lower and longer. The roofline is lower and flat, stretching further backward. This design is emphasized by the low and long rear windows extending towards the trunk lid edge.

This form is commonly associated with hatchbacks such as KIA Stinger and Audi A7 Sportback, but there is nothing we can see that will confirm the hatchback one way or the other. The tail end of the car is longer than the current Elantra as well. These cues also share with a lower, wider looking Sonata, such as the very large Grille we can make out behind the camouflage.
2022 Hyundai Elantra Engine
Not much else is known about the new Elantra at this point, as it is the first time we have seen or heard about it. We expect to use the updated lightweight version of the current engine, which includes a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine, a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, and a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine.
All machines will likely be paired either with CVT or dual-clutch automatically. The longer form of the car also shows this new Elantra will be roomier in than the current model, and the interior design will probably reflect the wide, low dashboard view of the new Sonata and Palisade.
While this is our first look at the new Elantra, we can make some predictions about what customers should expect when a new car debuts. Next-gen Elantra will likely borrow a design cue from the 2020 Hyundai Sonata which debuted earlier this year, which should defuse Elantra’s complaint nowadays is a bit boring in the design department.
Under the hood, customers should not expect a big departure from the current car. A naturally-tuned four-cylinder engine will continue; however, it is probably one of the new company SmartStream family machines. It will probably pair with CVT and the six-speed manuals offered in the current car.
A fuel-sipping Eco model with Turbo is also expected. However, we do not know whether Trim sports will continue. Then again, Hyundai can replace it with the model N line as it did recently with other Hyundai models. The EV version was also rumored.
While the new Elantra will likely borrow from the exterior style of the new Sonata, do not expect such a takeover. However, we have not seen the interior. Hyundai will likely update it accordingly to keep feeling refreshed in the face of stiff competition.
2022 Hyundai Elantra Release Date
It is unclear when the new Hyundai Elantra will debut. Rumors suggest being able to debut as model 2022; However, that could move forward for the model’s 2021 release year with the opening happening soon after the Los Angeles Auto Show later this year. Every time the debut, the Elantra GT hatchback will be on a different refresh cycle. A new version of Hatch will not debut until Hyundai i30 redesigned in 2022.
