ElantraClub - For Elantra Owners and Enthusiasts _ i30 Based General _ 2017 Elantra GT?

Posted by: Tex GT May 12 2016, 04:01 PM

Hyundai has released the 2017 Elantra Sedan, but I've heard nothing about the GT. I've gone on internet searches, and haven't been able to find anything. Is my 2016 GT the last of the breed?

That car is based on the European i30. They are working on a redesign but I don't think we'll see it until early-mid 2017, either as a late 2017 model or an early 2018. It will definitely be coming out, it will just be a while.

Here are spy shots of an early "test mule".

The car is already being tested here in Ontario Canada. I shot this car during rush hour just before it got on the highway, only a mile or so from Hyundai's Head Office.
