2019 Hyundai Elantra facelift (Honda Civic Rival) Unveiled
The Hyundai Elantra facelift will challenge the likes of new Honda Civic, Skoda Octavia and the Toyota Corolla Altis.
Korean automaker, Hyundai has unveiled the ASEAN-spec Elantra facelift in Malaysia. The new model looks largely identical to the updated Elantra left-hand-drive model, though there are minor cosmetic changes to the styling. It also gets new alloy wheels and chrome enhancement. In fact, the cabin of the ASEAN-spec Elantra facelift is very similar to the left-hand-drive model.
The ASEAN-spec model now gets a manual air-conditioning unit in place of an automatic climate control. However, this is very minor change and depends on the market in which it will be launched. Feature-list include automatic projector headlamps, leather upholstery for seats, steering and gearbox, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Other features are likely to include multi-zone climate control, six airbags, ventilated seats and many more.
