Most of the changes are noticeable on the front of the sedan, in particular, the designers installed new triangular optics, a new radiator grill and drawn lines along the length of the hood. The front optics really became triangular, the designers of the Hyundai Elantra 2019 narrowed closer to the radiator grill and added sharp lines to the side fender. Part of the optics near the wing was highlighted with a bright yellow repeater of turns, and along the contour they were decorated with LED daytime running lights.

Basis for optics Hyundai Elantra 2019 depends on the sedan trim level. In most variants, halogen lamps are installed, one per sector. For the Limited and Sport trims, engineers installed LED elements. As standard, any of the optics options is equipped with an adaptive function, with the possibility of cornering lights.

Radiator grille the updated sedan Hyundai Elantra 2019-2020 has not changed much, but this is only at first glance. In fact, the changes are hardly noticeable, the grille has become smaller in size and acquired strict lines. Horizontal and vertical stripes painted in chrome or black are used as an insert. The main sensors of active security systems were also located here, disguised as a black plastic insert.

As already mentioned, the front bumper of the new 2019 Hyundai Elantra sedan has also been changed. The designers gave it an aggressive styling, adding the same triangular lines and notches, in the latter they installed LED foglights and small air intakes for better aerodynamics. The hood of the new 2019-2020 Hyundai Elantra sedan has received more anger, the designers have drawn two straight lines from the radiator grille to the windshield, two more lines extend to the A-pillars.

Relatively windscreen, then there are minimum changes, or rather, in fact, there are no changes. All configurations of the 2019 Hyundai Elantra sedan, except for the base one, will acquire a partial windshield wiper or full heated windshield. Well, the front part of the new Hyundai Elantra 2019, although it underwent restyling, but the changes only went to the benefit of the sedan.

Side part sedan Hyundai Elantra 2019-2020 in fact has not changed much. The body part retained the same lines and shape of the parts. The door handles are painted to match the body color, although chrome trims are available as an option. The side mirrors have changed the style quite a bit near the LED turn signals, otherwise everything is the same. In addition to repeaters of turns, the standard set includes an electric adjustment package and automatic folding. Top versions of Hyundai Elantra 2019 will get heated side mirrors and memory for several modes.

On the side, most of the changes were made to the wheels of the 2019 Hyundai Elantra. New 15 ″ steel wheels made in Eco style will be installed for the basic configuration. The rest of the configurations will get 16 ″ or 17 ″ alloy wheels.

There is still nothing known about the exterior colors of the Hyundai Elantra 2019-2020. The manufacturer only specified that the sedan will acquire the same shades:

• white;
• silver;
• beige;
• grey;
• electric blue;

In other details, the side of the new 2019-2020 Hyundai Elantra sedan remained unchanged. In addition to the main details, the manufacturer suggests adding various accessories, chrome strips and other decorative elements.

Following the redesign of the front of the Hyudai Elantra 2019-2020, noticeable changes have been made to the rear of the sedan. The hind feet have the same triangular shape, with the part on the trunk lid getting sharper edges. The second, most part, was located on the body part of the sedan. The trunk lid was made peculiar, almost at the same slope with the rear window, thus, it seems that this is a hatchback, rather than a sedan.

The end part of the trunk lid embellished unlike Hyundai Elantra before restyling. The novelty received a curved edge, reminiscent of a small sports spoiler, and a rear-view camera is also installed here. From the decorative elements, the same emblem and chrome-plated inscriptions remained, giving out the model and equipment of the car.

As for the rear bumper of the Hyundai Elantra 2019-2020, then, like the front, it received a more aggressive and evil style. Many sharp triangular lines have been added, L-shaped LED foglights have appeared at the bottom, as well as indicators for reversing. The very bottom, in the center, was embellished with a protruding diffuser, while the pre-styling model flatly refused this design option. The changes affected the exhaust system, in the new model it was simply hidden behind the bumper, thereby improving the overall rear view.

Sedan roof - the latest of the exterior details of the updated Hyundai Elantra 2019-2020. As in the side, there are no changes here, in the basic configuration the roof is solid, with a small antenna in the form of a shark fin at the rear.

The interior of the new Hyundai Elantra 2019-2020

In contrast to the exterior, the interior of the updated 2019-2020 Hyundai Elantra sedan received fewer changes. The shape of the front panel of the novelty has remained the same, in the same way as the arrangement of controls and decor. Only by information from the manufacturer or by looking closely, you can understand exactly where the changes were. The central part of the panel is decorated with an 8 "color touchscreen display of the multimedia system, instead of 7" which was on the Hyundai Elantra before restyling. For the basic configuration of the Hyundai Elantra 2019, a 5 ″ color display and an additional audio system control panel were installed in place of the multimedia.

On the sides of the display, two small air ducts were placed, but if we compare the differences between the new and the Hyundai Elantra model before the update, then this is a banal design.In the new product, the air ducts have got silver inserts, otherwise they are the same as before. Below the center console of the Hyundai Elantra 2019, they placed a panel with an audio system with two selectors and a small panel with indicators for belts and airbags. There are no changes for these two panels, which can not be said about the climate control panel.

Adjustment options for the second row of seats, unfortunately, are excluded even for the top-end sedan configuration.

In total, the steering wheel of Hyundai Elantra 2019 is designed for three spokes, two side ones are reserved for function buttons, the lower steering wheel spoke is made in the form of a plastic insert, thereby giving the steering wheel a unique style and comfort.
