New Elantra 2017, the available engines for petrol, 1.6L,  2.0L, 1.6T, saw blogs saying 1.4T to experiment with. India has 1.4T diesel? Design wise, the interior centre dash is not nice, should rid that design that has failed in genesis and sonata LF.

Elantra indeed has 1.4T model, but it's called ECO version.
Reason? It's 1.4 Akitson cycle "Kappa" engine, turbocharge.

Same engine family with i10 1.25L NA and ioniq 1.6L NA.

New elantra 2017 looking interesting, especially with turbo variant.
Not sure HSDM will bring in all the LKAS, Blind spot etc similar to Ioniq.

But all these will turn a sour point when HSDM fitting subpar HU into Hyundai's car.
Basic stuff with no Apple Carplay / Android Auto.

The preview NEW TUSCON had OEM HU with android OS instead of Hyundai's BlueLink OS puke.gif makes the whole car felt cheap.

What does HU stand for? If OEM and HUD I know. I would prefer they give high quality DK nappa leather with anti-heat resistant instead of gadgets. The Elantra MD 2011 high spec that is owned by my colleague, some of these gadgets began to fail and can be irritating. The same thing experienced by korean strategist hopeless forte. Gadgets only fun when new, but later on already nothing no feel. Another friend that owned santa fe 2013, he find the MFD touchscreen and gps useless less user friendly.

HU = Headunit
The multimedia display that replaces conventional radio.
Starting 2016 onwards, most cars (including Hyundai) will have Android Auto / Apple Carplay compatibility.

It functions like a mirror from smartphone, so no more outdated GPS or music etc.
Sooner or later, most cars will not have dedicated GPS built in.

This is the issue, well addressed in Bobby Ang's review (EVO mag) of Tucson. What for sell cheaper than the Japanese but offer lower grade HU? If the owner include the cost of changing the HU and related things to rival those Japanese offerings, the price involved could be just similar or more - might as well just get Jap and save the hassle.

HSDM will need to justify 30% local content.
There's alot things can outsourced to local content - tires, mirrors, lights, carpets etc, but never ever touch electronics, sensors, HU etc.

HSDM throw the whole kitchen sink for Ioniq hoping to catch sales, but they forgot that water taps comes with the sink sweat.gif
And honestly, how much does HU costs these day?
