Twitter: 2011 Hyundai Elantra teaser image
Hyundai releases a teaser image of its next-generation Elantra sedan, which is scheduled to make its official premiere at the L.A. Auto Show.
Making its official Korean debut earlier this year at the Busan Auto Show, the all-new Elantra is expected to go on sale in the US market shortly after its official US premiere scheduled for the forth-coming Los Angeles International Auto Show.
With the 2010 L.A. Auto Show just around the corner, we have been expecting to see some Elantra shots before its official unveiling. None has been released until today when Hyundai finally published an image of the US-specs 2011 Elantra sedan.
Covered with white taping, the US-specs models seems to look just like the Korean Avante. There are no styling changes visible on the teaser image below, which is good to know since majority of us Hyundai fans like the look of the new Hyundai Avante.
No official word from Hyundai on what is fitted under the hood of new Elantra, but our source revealed us that the 2011 Elantra will feature a brand-new 1.8L Nu engine, which packs 150 horsepower. In a combination with the all-new six-speed automatic gearbox, the next-generation Elantra sedan is expected to achieve segment-best fuel efficiency and break the 40 mpg barrier!
Stay tuned for additional information on the 2011 Elantra powertrain upgrades, which will be released closer to the vehicle’s official US debut. [Image: Twitter]

Hyundai owners & enthusiasts, welcome!
overdone!we have all seen the naked next Elantra!
No! Look again! I think this is a Coupe (2door)! Note: There is no cut in the plastic surface where the second set of doors should be!
I have just returned from a training session on the all new 2011 Hyundai Elantra. This car is absolutely incedible. Totally different from the previous model. In this training session was the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, Mazda 3, and the Ford Focus. By far, and I mean VERY FAR, this Elantra blows away the competition. The difference I observed was that Hyundai is now is as far ahead of the Japanese, as the Japanese were ahead of the North American vehicles 10 years ago! What the Japanese had to offer was an Embarrassment compared to our Elantra, NO COMPARISON!!
Awesome Charles!

Is it me or the car looks smaller and shorter than the current gen on this pic?
the car is a lot lower and “look” smaller but in fact not realy smaller!
2011 vs 2010
lenght new 4530 mm. old 4505 mm.
wheelbase new 2700 mm. old 2650 mm.
width new 1775 mm. old 1775 mm.
height new 1435 mm. old 1480mm.
I would love to see this as a 2 door coupe it would be awesome, but the 4 door is very good looking, at the top of my next car list!
I also hope pricing stays reasonable, I would hate to see them price themselves out of the market with this car, not to overlap with the sonata.
