2010 LA Auto Show: "Accidently" Teaser of 2011 Hyundai Elantra

Hyundai showed an apparently staged startled PR rep with the upcoming 2011 Elantra with only a bit of sheetmetal exposed on Twitter. The pictured four-door sports decently sized alloy wheels and boldly flared wheel wells behind a Hyundai PR rep.

The U.S.-market Elantra will be produced in Alabama but we've seen photos of the car, called the Avante in other markets, before.  The U.S. car is expected to have 1.6- and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines.


The 2010 Elantra starts at $14,865 and is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 138 horsepower. Fuel economy on the 2010 sedan ranges from 25-26 mpg in the city to 34-35 mpg on the highway. No doubt the new Elantra will improve on these figures in the 2011 model year.
