After 10 years of activity in China, Hyundai has unveiled the China-exclusive Elantra ‘Langdong’ (which roughly translates to ‘dynamic car, new generation’). Along with its new Santa Fe, the manufacturer is aiming to further boost its sales on the Chinese market.
The car will be produced at Hyundai’s new plant in Beijing starting in the second half of the year. The aim was to make a compact car with the feel of a larger car, and given its proportions it is larger than any of its main rivals. Its design is based on a concept called ‘Wind Craft’ and it follows the same design language as the other products in the range.
Two petrol powerplants will be offered for the Langdong: a 1.6-liter engine with 125 hp and a 1.8-liter engine with an output of 145 hp.
