Limited Edition Hyundai Elantra FL 1.6 Sport launched

Hyundai Sime Darby has decided to come up with a 999 unit limited run 1.6 Sport Edition of the recently facelifted Hyundai Elantra for Malaysia. They've taken the base Elantra FL 1.6 Elegance and added some make-up - a full bodykit, twin tail pipes, stickers and an upgraded infotainment system with a 6.2inch screen inside (instead of the normal audio system). It will be available in two colours - Creamy White and Phantom Black that would also come with the sticker/decal design that incorporates a barcode and a serial number that runs from 001 to 999 representing each model. 

The Hyundai Elantra FL 1.6 Sport will cost RM91,928 (without insurance) and is still a very good purchase. The base Elantra FL 1.6 Elegance comes in at RM85,928.47. An even more affordable purchase. Remember folks, you get a proper C Segment car at around RM90,000. You get a more comfortable, more refined, more powerful car at the price of the smaller B segment cars you see on the roads today. 

Anyway, we have actually just tested the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 Elegance and found it to be totally spot on in terms of providing a proper car at this price. Bang for your Ringgit you might say. Stay tuned for a review on it sometime soon.

LIMITED EDITION SPORTY ELANTRA FACELIFT LAUNCHED 
Priced Below RM100,000, this C-Segment Sport Edition Elantra FL Offers Great Value 

SHAH ALAM, 3 July 2015 – If you think the current design of the Elantra is too exquisite for your taste, check out the Sport Edition of the Elantra Facelift. Limited to only 999 units nationwide, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) is positive that the response will be favourable for its newly launched edition of the C-segment Elantra Facelift.

With an attractive price of only RM91,928* (on-the-road without insurance), customers are offered a full sport body kit which includes the front and rear bumpers as well as the side skirts; Twin Tail Pipes; a limited edition sticker to go with the sporty outlook of the car; and a 6.2-inch Audio Visual In Car Entertainment that has Audio, DVD and Bluetooth functions (with an option to add-on a reverse camera for only RM300). The Sport Edition, which is only available in Creamy White and Phantom Black, is visually appealing with a limited edition car decal design that incorporates a barcode and serial number that runs from 001 to 999.

According to Mr Lau Yit Mun, Managing Director of HSDM, the company has received numerous requests from customers to include a sport variant in its Elantra product lineup. “The Elantra is our best-selling model as most of our customers are attracted to the

Elegant design of the car, its functionality and its performance. However, we do have another group of younger car buyers who do like the features that the Elantra offers but would prefer a sportier look, which is the reason why we are launching the Sport Edition. So we hope with the launch of this new sport variant, we will be able to attract the younger generation of motorists who appreciates a modern sporty design,” said Mr Lau.

The Sport Edition of the Elantra facelift comes with the Gamma 1.6-litre MPI D-CVVT powerplant that is mated to a six-speed transmission, which delivers impressively more horsepower while consuming less fuel. Its drag coefficient (cd) of just 0.28 reduces wind resistance and contributes to better fuel economy.

The Elantra also features the latest active and passive safety technologies to ensure maximum protection for its occupants such as the Ultra-high Tensile Strength body, ESC (Electronic Stability Control), ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), VSM (Vehicle Stability Management) and HAC (Hill-Start Assist Control) – applicable across all variants.

With the addition of the Sport Edition, the Facelifted Elantra is now available in five variants:
Elantra FL 1.6 Elegance – RM85, 928.47*
Elantra FL 1.6 Sport - RM91, 928.00*  
Elantra FL 1.6 Executive –RM96, 820.57*
Elantra FL 1.6 Premium – RM101, 554.66*
Elantra FL 1.8 Premium – RM115, 616.20*

*On-the-road price indicated excludes insurance and applicable to Peninsular Malaysia only.
