CAR-HUNT

The Hyundai Elantra first came to us in its 3rd generation in 2004. That car was appreciated for its space and drive ability but was panned for terrible looks. We skipped the improved yet blah looking 4th gen, and in 2012 Hyundai finally returned the nameplate to the Indian market with the gorgeously fluidic 5th gen. The car was ample, stunning to look at, and drove reasonably well. For a while it dominated its segment, but the segment itself has been a bit of a non-starter off late - with an ageing Cruze and pricey Octavia for company. Though it has to be said the latest Toyota Corolla has sparked some interest. Given that, Hyundai feels it's the right time to introduce the 6th generation Elantra to India which is why the company decided to launch it this year.

2014 model Tucson for North America have been upgraded with GDI direct injected theta-II engines that obtain more power and better emissions, LED tail/head lights, more stylish alloy rim designs, and a few minor improvements to the interior/audio system.

The 2011 Tucson offered in the U.S. a new GL trim which replaces the 2010 GLS model as Tucson's base trim. The GL is powered by a new 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to either a five-speed manual or an available six-speed automatic transmission in order to obtain better fuel economy than the 2.4-liter engine. The 2011 GLS trim includes the features of the 2010 "Popular Equipment Package" and an automatic transmission as standard equipment. Limited models now include standard electrochromatic mirrors with Homelink and has received Sachs dampeners to provide a smoother ride. The electronic stability control and motor driven power steering systems have been enhanced for improved performance. All AWD models now receive standard heated seats. This model was a prominent vehicle used by the survivors in The Walking Dead (TV series).

Hyundai Creta  also known as Hyundai ix25 and, in the Dominican Republic, Hyundai Cantus, is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Beijing Hyundai, a joint venture by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai and China's Beijing Group from 2014. It was first seen as a thinly veiled "concept" at Auto China (in Beijing), April 2014. The production model had its premier at Chengdu, in August 2014, and it went on sale in China two months later.

In India, the car has three engine variants including the 1.4- and 1.6-litre petrol engines along with 1.6-litre diesel engine with five models for the Creta – Base, S, S+, SX, SX+, SX(O). Each model has a specific set of features which distinguishes it from the others and comes in seven colours.
