 2011 Hyundai Elantra Interior Photos Spied
2011 Hyundai Elantra interior spy photo - 29.12.2009 / Hyundai-blog.com

The first clear shots of the 2011 Hyundai Elantra's interior have appeared on Korean web forums. These pictures show a completely undisguised dashboard whose design inspiration comes from the new Tucson and 2011 Sonata sedan. Two tone inserts and a redesigned centre console are of a higher class and quality.

Engines are still unknown but it's expected that the entry-level model will be a 1.6-litre four cylinder direct injection while a more powerful 2.0-litre Theta also beckons. Rivals are now sporting potent turbo diesels and the Elantra might just sneak in the new 2.0-litre R diesel worth over 400Nm mainly for European markets. A hybrid is also being whispered about.

The 2011 Elantra might start appearing at US auto shows during the second half of the 2010.

looks alien like, can see traces of Ford and the AC vents is way too low I dislike it

Those AC vents will not cool the faces of the occupants of the car. Plus the rest of the dash is mismatched and ugly

I know its cliche to say that Hyundai is unoriginal, but I can definitely spot the "inspiration" drawn from the Ford Fiesta interior, especially in the center stack and the hooded instruments. BTW, those vents look way too low.

how are the vents too low, you do know that you can control the direction of air flow by moving the mechanisms of the invidual vent. secondly, you do not need a vent directly accross from your face in order to heat and cool your car down. think about the heating/cooling system in your own home.wow.

exactly , u dont need the the vents directly on your face , i remeber our old 911 , from the early 90s that didnt have face height vents , yet that actually had a great fan systerm before the likes of ac, i think its a pretty , good looking dash from a budget korean car , people shouldnt be complaining about vent height thats sad!!! be amazed at how far hyundai has come in recent years!!!!

Yeah, the cooling vents in my house are not placed at crotch level. And BTW, what's wrong/sad with criticising this car? Yes, Hyundai has progressed alot in the past few years and offers a great 100k mile warranty,, but it certainly doesn't make them immune to criticism or making mistakes. IMO the direct competition still looks better-designed than this, no big deal.

It looks preety curvy... but somehow like all Hyundai designs it has something wrong (no not the vents...)... See it this way, immagine they design a bad dash design then decide to add little curvy bits to make it somewhat more attractive, but the fundemental design is still somewhat wrong. And about the vents, the problem isn't that theyre low but immagine you need to change the radio station when the A/C is full on, your hand will eventually be in front of the vent (not so nice)... I don't know how designers don't think of these little niggle problems when creating the design - and dont consider how it won't work in everyday life.
