Achieving the 2021 Top Overall Sales Position.

Dubai, 14/02/2022- The Hyundai ELANTRA achieved the top overall sales position in the Saudi Arabian market in 2021, according to official figures. In addition to being Hyundai’s best-selling model in the Kingdom, ELANTRA is also the best-in-class car in the sedan C segment.

Second only to its sibling, the TUCSON, as the global best-seller in the Hyundai lineup, the ELANTRA has steadily evolved in terms of design and quality refinement. With more than 30 years and seven model generations, the ELANTRA has become a formidable contender for the title of best-in-class vehicle around the world.

With enthusiasm and affection from loyal customers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the ELANTRA has steadily maintained sales across the Kingdom. Powered by a design statement that is sharp and bold, the ELANTRA has a spacious interior with modern comfort and connectivity features, advanced safety and driver assistance systems, and a versatile driving experience that combines satisfying performance and unmatched fuel economy.

“The ELANTRA is a core part of Hyundai’s lineup in The Kingdom and across the Middle East and has served customers from all walks of life for nearly three decades. The stellar sales results are a testament to the popularity of the ELANTRA and bolsters our dedication to continuously offer customers advanced features and smart mobility solutions across all our model lineup,” commented Mr. Hyoungjung Im, the Vice President of Hyundai Motor Company. He added: “This achievement motivates us to keep moving forward with enhancing the lives of our customers by investing in the technology, design, and quality of our products to help reinvigorate their trust in us.” 

The ELANTRA’s modern look reflects the ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design identity of Hyundai and is equipped with an elaborately designed chassis, which allows the driver to enjoy the distinctive sporty character of the design. With these new improvements, the ELANTRA has become the most attractive compact sedan that future generations will want to drive, providing a better and more advanced driving experience.

The ELANTRA comes with two powerful and efficient petrol engines, with an engine connected to either a six-speed manual transmission or automatic transmission. These features turn road driving into a real pleasure for both the driver and passengers.

The upgraded Nu 2.0 MPI fuel-saving engine produces a maximum power of 159 hp/6200 rpm and a maximum torque of 19.5 kg/m at 4500 rpm. For even smoother performance, the Gamma II 1.6 MPI engine option is also available with 123 hp, 6,300 rpm, and maximum torque of 15.59 kg/m at 4,500 rpm.
