Even the 276-hp Elantra N skips the stick in China: this is the first Elantra generation built there since 2003 without a manual option at all.

The 2018 facelift drew widespread criticism for its design in Korea, and the Avante still became the fifth best-selling car there.

It was sold on a 40 mpg highway rating, which was cut to 38 in November 2012 after a series of testing procedural errors.

The 2009 Avante LPI Hybrid was the world's first hybrid with an engine built to run on LPG, and the first hybrid to use lithium-ion polymer batteries.

In 2006 the Elantra XD replaced Beijing's red Tianjin Xiali taxis to cut pollution, and it stayed in the city's taxi fleet until 2020.

Its grilleless shape was inspired by Korean blue and white pottery, and its suspension was developed with a Cray supercomputer Hyundai had just bought.

The first Elantra was called the Lantra in Australia and Europe after a trademark clash forced Hyundai to drop the E.
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.

Since 1997 the Corolla has been the best-selling car nameplate in history, overtaking the VW Beetle -- Toyota passed 54 million sold by early 2026.

After three straight generations riding on a torsion-beam rear axle, the B18 Sentra finally switched to independent rear suspension.

The 11th-generation Civic is the first since the late-1970s second generation not to offer any two-door body style.

One of the world's best-selling mid-size sedans skipped a market entirely for this generation: the 11th-gen Accord was never sold in Malaysia, after sales of the previous generation there kept declining.

After nine generations sold at home, Toyota finally built a Camry that Japan itself can't buy — the XV80 is assembled there purely for export.

The VA-generation WRX STI kept the previous generation's 2.5-liter EJ257 engine rather than adopting the new FA20 used in the standard WRX.

Dodge's wildest factory option: the 2022 'Jailbreak Edition' let buyers customize an 807-hp Hellcat Redeye Charger straight from the factory, as if breaking it free of a standard build sheet.

BMW tried charging G20 owners an annual subscription just to use Apple CarPlay — hardware already built into the car that cost BMW nothing to keep running. The backlash killed the fee within months.
