Afterall the anticipation, it turn out to be a frustaration..it's just too "Malaysian car" looking inside..

If the 1.8 comes with the Ori HU, it would be better.. Sunroof? replace it with airbags

FYI, all relates to cost & pricing, who's fault? BN lar who else. Give you example, if the Tuscon had the same spec as the Sportage, it would be priced around 160k-170k.

SD don't enjoy special relationship like Naza does with the Govt.

Had a chat with a Hyundai salesperson this morning. He mentioned the roadshow at MidValley this 22-26 Feb will only showcase the car. No pricing will be revealed yet. Apparently the government didn't approve the initial pricing of the car (not sure if too low, or too high). Prices are only expected to be revealed early March, along with the cars in the showroom.

Very high possibility it's too low..

like that die loh this car so many potential customer may run away.

How much would it cost to change that ugly seats with red lining to original black leather seats ?

use permanent black marker to cover the red line

But the quality is an issue la look at the driver seat after few round of fat or skinny people sitting on it the side already start sinking or maybe stitching quality prob

more delays....

Definitely it's the failure from SD which can't meet the timeline & delay due to engine and price issue, and Inokom act smart to modify the car hope to have unique style for Elantra MD (Made in Malaysia) and eventually turned the car from good -> bad.

Looks like many of us are disappointed before the launch, knowing what is fitted to the car.

So the only hope is to price the car right.. But even if the 1.8 is price below 100k.. I feel potong steam already..

Yes, maybe they don't want the price for 1.6 so close to the new Proton P3-21A which also launching soon,

gomen...



not SD but gomen...

if price so close, what happen to the proton sales figure...
bcoz there's proton fan need that sales figure to show to other car makers fan that proton car sales are very good compare to others...
so dun buy other car makers, buy proton...

This is the most likely reason the major cause of delay.
Proton SA told me Proton Tuah launching in March and expected price is RM7xK.
So Elentra 1.6 better main jauh jauh sikit to prevent Tuah from premature death.

then Sd pls delay the launch to april/may lor,avoid crash with proton..let proton launch and sell 99 1st later SD can launch elantra and sell cheap cheap price

i can wait d,most important is price it low low...

Now more reason to buy the 1.6 high spec...

Obviously Hyundai Malaysia is really like a shit, no matter is Service,Marketing even Quality like Tuson..i10 . I don't want to sped a money to buy a car that cause me nightmare. I device to give up Elantra and go for Ford.

The CKD one is SantaFe and i10..Tucson is fully cbu?

By the time the Elantra/Avante actually launched, the facelift probably already round the corner.
