2011 Hyundai Avante
The all-new generation of the Hyundai Avante, which is also known as the Elantra in some of the markets, has been launched in Korea and it will soon become available in other parts of the world as well.
The 2011 Hyundai Avante features a new design following the same language as other new Hyundai models which is pretty good for a car of this class. Specially if you compare it to the old model, it is a huge leap forward!
The refined look continues inside. In particular, the silver garnish that starts from the crash pad and leads to the console features a windblown shape that exudes an overall refined and dynamic image. High-glossy black and metallic colors used in the cabinet add more futuristic and high-tech looks to the interior of the all-new Avante.
In Korea the Avante is powered by an all-new powerful and fuel efficient Gamma 1.6 Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine. Featuring Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing, a Variable Induction System and exotic anti-friction coatings such as CrN Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating and Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating, this engine develops 140 PS while promising to be 10 percent more efficient than other similar powertrains.
2011 Avante will come as standard with Smart Parking Assist System (SPAS), HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlamps, LED combination lamps in the rear, heated rear seats, puddle lamps and a color TFT LCD information display nestled in the gauge cluster. TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), ESS (Emergency Stop Signal) are also available.
