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.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.

Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.

A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.

The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.

The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.

The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.

The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.

This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
