1. Stylish exterior & interior of Hyundai Elantra 2020

Hyundai continues its stylish look in this 2020 model. It looks like the model has lost its engulfing impression it previously had. Probably this was as a result of lower substantial market share. This also affects the strength of exterior design in the GT version.

Take a look at Hyundai Elantra stylish GT version!

The sedan model features a reduced, large grille when you compare it to the hatchback. It promises a reduced outline when it comes to the area of the entry doors. The hatchback on the other hand promises a grille, which is quicker coupled with mesh insert. When it comes to the headlights of the two versions - sedan and hatchback, they look simple aside looking at the constraint tone. You would not enjoy the LED DRLs found in sedan version if you decide to go for the hatchback.

Generally, the optional front lights are rated very well but not much fancy is placed on the standard halogen headlights. At the rear, the sedan comes equipped with an adjustable deck cover and taillights while you would see round rear in the hatchbacks.

No matter trim you go for, you will definitely get a quality build and well-refined Elantra

The interior promises lots of comfort when you decide to sit behind the wheel. This comfort also extends to the front seat passenger but the rear seat isn’t roomy enough for the passengers. The Elantra 2020 entrance seats have pillow which might not be a good option for back-end travelers. It has a suitable rear seat headroom and joint space for tall passengers.

You can easily manage the rear space using the touch controls.
