The Honda Civic re-entering the Indian market and soon expected new generations of the Skoda Octavia and Toyota Corolla Altis, the Koreans were spotted testing the new generation Hyundai Elantra to keep-up with the segment.

However, the all-new Hyundai Elantra will debut first in the international market and then make its way to India. So far we expect the facelift of the current generation Elantra to be unveiled by the end of 2020. The all-new Elantra in the spy pictures could be globally unveiled by early next year and could be introduced in the Indian market by 2021.

The new car is expected to share its platform with the eight-generation Hyundai Sonata that was showcased at this year's New York International Auto show. The cabin could also see inspirations for them Sonata and expect an all-digital instrument cluster and a larger infotainment system screen.

Engines are expected to be down-sized for the international markets, however, the power figures should see a hike. The Indian spec car will get a diesel variant on offer. The transmission on offer will be a standard manual and an optional automatic.

So far, the Indian market should expect the facelift that has been spotted testing. The facelift could ask a premium of Rs 30,000-50,000 over the current car's pricing. The Facelift Hyundai Elantra could range between Rs 15-21 lakh ex-showroom
