The eighth-generation Hyundai Elantra, popular as the Avante in South Korea, has set a new trend with 11,094 first-day orders.
According to figures cited by The Korean Car Blog, Hyundai’s latest Elantra has made a strong start by grabbing over 10,000 orders on its launch day and outshining the previous benchmark of 10,058 orders set by the seventh-generation model in April 2020.
The strong response comes despite the monumental preference for SUVs and crossovers. Hyundai appears to be attracting customers toward the sedan with its larger dimensions, upgraded technology, premium features and improved hybrid offering.
Interest has been particularly strong for the more expensive versions. The Inspiration trim captured 52% of first-day orders, while the Premium and Modern variants each accounted for 24%.
