Hyundai Motor Company in partnership with local UAE distributor Juma Al Majid Establishment is set to unveil two new models at the Dubai International  Motor Show, which begins tomorrow (November 10). 

 

It will globally unveil the all-new Elantra, a new edition of the brand’s best-selling Middle East model and regionally debut the Creta, a totally new compact SUV, said a statement.

 

The all-new Elantra will go on sale across the region early next year, while the new Creta will be available region-wide from this month onwards.

 

Jin (James) Kim, vice president and head of operations for Hyundai Africa and Middle East, said: “The all-new Elantra follows in the footsteps of its predecessor by setting new standards and offering the world’s best technology packaged in the body of a world-class compact-size sedan.

 

“Equally, the Creta offers striking looks, competitive performance and a robust build at an affordable price, further strengthening Hyundai’s impressive SUV offering.”

 

The Elantra will boast class-defining interior and refined exterior features which will reflect Hyundai Motor Company evolving design philosophy. This vision incorporates a dynamic precision in exterior design that complements the new model's comfortable, contemporary and sporty feel. The large hexagonal grille is paired with slim and sporty headlights for an energetic look, while its clean surfaces build on the active stance of the model.

 

Set to build on the model's heritage while setting new standards as a world-class compact-size sedan, the Elantra is 20 mm longer and 25 mm wider than its predecessor and delivers a spacious interior. The body structure has been designed to boost durability and rigidity, incorporating 32 per cent more advanced high-strength steel compared to the original Elantra.

 

The new car will also take a leap forward with a number of class-leading convenience and safety features. An Integrated Memory Seat (IMS) enhances driver comfort, while Smart Trunk allows easy loading as it opens automatically when the Smart key-holder approaches. In addition, new class-leading suite of safety technologies includes Front & Rear Parking Sensor, Knee Airbag, LED Daytime Running Lamp (DRL), Blind Spot Detection (BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).

 

Meanwhile, displaying the stylish looks, the Creta features a sporty profile and a stable, confident stance. The harmony between the car’s bold front, voluminous side and sporty rear is noticeable. Finishing touches include 17-inch alloy wheels and chrome fog lamps ensuring that this compact SUV stands out from the crowd.

 

The Creta is the latest Hyundai to follow the company’s Modern Premium brand direction. Inside the high quality cabin, which features silver chrome finishing and a soft touch dashboard, every detail is designed to provide the utmost comfort and convenience. The dashboard is a hub of useful technology including a 5” touch screen audio, smart key with push button start and fully automatic temperature control with cluster ionizer.

 

Under the bonnet, the versatile Creta will be available with a choice of 1.6 MPI petrol engine. - TradeArabia News Service
