Hyundai Elantra — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Hyundai / List of Hyundai Elantra Models without Timing Belt

The Hyundai Elantra is a passenger car (C-segment in Europe) manufactured by the South Korean marque Hyundai Motors. It is one of the longest-lived models of the South Korean manufacturer, with 7 generations behind it. The first version of the Elantra (J1) was launched in 1990. The Elantra is known by several names. In many markets, this vehicle is sold under the name Hyundai Avante.

This vehicle is one of Hyundai’s most international models. Generally, its main body is sedan, although some generations have also opted for the liftback version and even the family body. In Europe, the Elantra was discontinued after the third generation in favor of other models.

In recent years, this compact sedan has received numerous facelifts. It is sold as a modern car, and has even received hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions. In addition, Hyundai has also opted for sporty versions of this model. This is how it has come to launch the Hyundai Elantra N, very similar to the sports versions of other vehicles of this brand.
