Segment: Medium
Production years: 1993, 1994, 1995
Just two years after introducing the Lantra lineup, Hyundai decided to apply a mild facelift to the small-segment sedan.
While it didn't have a significant experience in the car industry, Hyundai management knew that it must gain brand awareness. It tried to improve its products and showed that on facelifted models. The same situation with the 1993 Lantra showed some exterior modifications when the carmaker improved the car's quality.
From the outside, the most noticeable difference was the front fascia. Hyundai dropped the formerly used angular headlights with a new pair that featured softer edges and clear turn-signals. The grille was narrower and featured the new company's logo.
Inside, the Lantra was known for its spacious cabin, despite the car's length. Like some other Japanese vehicles, it featured two large dials for the tachometer and speedometer, the coolant temperature gauge on the left side, and the fuel-level gauge placed on the right. The air-conditioning unit was available on the options list or standard for the upper trim levels. Its interior was good for up to four adult occupants, with limited legroom for the rear passengers.
Hyundai relied on its partnership with Mitsubishi and continued to choose three engines supplied by the Japanese carmaker. The Korean carmaker fitted the Elantra with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.
