Since then, Hyundai continues to roll off performance-oriented models that are well-received by customers. The prime example of this is the Hyundai Elantra model series released in 1990. The core reason for its popularity is its durability, fuel efficiency and equilibrium of price and features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s unfold the evolution of the Hyundai Elantra over the years, and elaborate on different models of the series unveiled to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hyundai-elantra-generations\">Hyundai Elantra Generations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyundai first launched the Elantra series under the nameplate of Avante. The nameplate was used for ten years (two generations) from 1990 to 2000. Since the new millennium, Hyundai has made the Elantra and Avante two different model series. Regardless of the nameplate, the series continued to capture the market and increase its fan following. It&#8217;s an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/hyundai-elantra-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interesting fact about Hyundai Elantra<\/a> that it&#8217;s the longest-running nameplate by the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we have mentioned complete details regarding all the Hyundai Elantra models.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hyundai-elantra-avante-first-generation-1990-to-1994\">Hyundai Elantra (Avante) First Generation (1990 to 1994)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first generation of Elantra (Avante) was a compact sedan. The sedan featured narrow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-headlights-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">headlights<\/a> and a radiator grille at the front and rectangular brake lights at the rear end. Both the brake lights were connected by a narrow strip with the company&#8217;s name written on it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cabin was decorated with fabric upholstery. The stereo system, AC and other essential controls were present at the centre console. Two analogue dials were present behind the steering wheel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car was powered by a 1.6-litre straight four engine that was engineered by Mitsubishi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"First generation Hyundai Elantra\" class=\"wp-image-78114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23075545\/Car-History-Hyundai-Elantra-_-Body-3-23-12-22-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The first generation of Elantra features rectangular head and brake lights<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hyundai-elantra-avante-second-generation-1995-to-2000\">Hyundai Elantra (Avante) Second Generation (1995 to 2000)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second generation of Avante was released in two different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-body-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">car body types<\/a>: sedan and hatchback.
