its own
- Appealing active character lines and creatively designed wheel arches
August 19, 2015 – Hyundai Motor is excited to provide customers a glimpse of the forthcoming All-new Elantra's modern looks and unique design ahead of the car's launch just around the corner. The new model's dynamic and sleek style received the approval of a recent consumer study, where the Elantra's striking appearance saw it ranked ahead of key rivals.
Designers of the All-new Elantra identified a series of innovative design aspects that give the car an unrivalled status and unique presence. Clever use of active character lines evoke a dynamic, stylish and confident appearance, building on the global popularity of the model.
Peter Schreyer, President and Chief Design Officer at Hyundai Motor Company said: "The All-new Elantra captures the car's unique design characteristics that really place this model in a class of its own.

In the newly released exterior rendering, the car's innovative design points become clear. Noticeably, the large hexagonal grille is paired with slim and sporty headlights for a feeling of energy, while clean and refined surfaces build on the active stance of the All-new Elantra. Additionally, wheel arches with a goal of expressing the car's dynamic road presence, help to set the new model apart from other compact sedans.

Agreed. So far, it looks to be several notches above all competition. The face however has many Lexus (and Audi) similarities. The strikes around the fog lights are in the same family is the new RX and ES facelift.
I wish Hyundai well with this. It's refreshing to see such a solid comeback from a car company, even if their formula is to piggyback off of other top marks.

Back to topic, this is going to be a great-looking car from the sketches IF they do not stray too far from these design sketches.

Having their own design might make brand more desirable in the eyes of buyers, and help them solve the falling profits issue they are seeing lately.

Mazda, Volvo, Toyota and so many brand cues in one car... I think it looks good but I hope that in the future they will come out with their own design cues and not just blatantly copy others. It is 2016 almost and Hyundai is one of the largest manufacturers in the world.
