nice LED head lamp...overall still prefers elantra design...can the I40 head lamp install on elantra? hehe

Don't like. The back to squarish like a BMW butt...

u mean the headlight above with the built in DRL?
u can opt for eagle eye headlamp which comes with projector and DRL.
i think thy r doing promo now.

mileage test result caltex ron95. mileage 428km for rm70. left 80kms of fuel. pick up worst...coz when driving alone can feel the car heavy. so for my car(petro canada) will use bhp or petron only. shell & petronas? forget it...feel not worth it.

what is your comment for Shell & Petronas ? lack of power ? higher fc ?

i havent try it.coz i feel its not worth it..as previous 4 cars test with these fuels...go no where. but for petronas can achieve more mileage then shell. but petronas has the slowest pick up. but for turbo cars, petronas performs quit good. have tested with vw polo..some people with 308 turbo also choose petronas..

you have to try it urself because won't be the same result with me even we have the same car...its depends on what engine oil u got...mine is petro canada...

if elantra have turbo might be the best car ever...coz it has the looks as a sports car...speedworks in pj offered me rm8k turbo kit for elantra...have to turn down the offer coz don't want to void warantty..

So u recommend petron n bhp? my SA highly recommended BHP. first tank was filled with BHP too.
WIll try it again

yup for my case petron canada engine oil i highly recommended bhp and petron. it works best for performance and mileage...others please share your mileage and please also indicate engine oil brand. coz i found owners saying petronas and caltex best for their car...lets help each other recommend the right pump gas..with the right fuel it will make ur day happier...

Yes, Having "touch and feel" the i40 last year in Melbourne, it is superb! never though of it will arrive in bolehland!

wow...looks same as elantra...inside the technology is really top notch. but i bet if sell in malaysia will cost as much as camry...i've look in net and sime darby didn't say want to bring i40 sedan but instead maybe bring i40 wagon..

you see if hyundai bring in i40 wouldn't it be same like elantra?whats the point?and wagon...whos buying a wagon in malaysia?sime darby would get less sales for sure.

i30 is quit nice and can challenge kia rio. anyway i'm sure sime darby will think all this. strategic plan to sell...just my 2 cents.

what do you think guys..rm114k = elantra, rm148k = i40 sedan. i40 sedan have plenty of high quality goodies...sure pricey one...

I see i40 as Sonata replacement model.. it is D-Segment.. I Heard someone said i40 from RM126k.. like that camry and accord can tapao balik japan..

yup it could replace sonata...up to sime darby...rm125k+++ is a good price....will make honda & toyota like main2 punye kereta...like i40 really serious shit car..people would think twice to buy japanese car now...

i40 is D-segment? yay!

Sonata length = 4820mm
i40 length = 4770mm
Elantra length = 4530mm

Segment is calc by the wheelbase bro.. not length..

Hi,
What the tinted brand can intro ? going collect my car soon...
