Evolution is inevitable, and this holds true both for an evolving automobile brand like Hyundai as well as for a world city like Mumbai. To preserve traditions, yet move with the times, can be a challenge - but striking a perfect balance between the two can create an enduring and everlasting legacy.
Hyundai created, cultivated, and now reinvented their Fluidic Sculpture design philosophy. Breaking away from conventional barriers is what Hyundai has been doing with their styling over the past few years, and bold steps like these are needed for the Indian capital to mark its place in the list of leading world cities. The Indian capital, from the beginning of time, has been considered as the city of emperors. Both the car and the city continue to evolve to become more vibrant and progressive.
This saloon is easily the best looker in the C-segment thanks to its Fluidic DNA, which gives it an athletic look and makes it more dynamic. Its stylish swooping roofline is pleasing to say the least. The beautifully crafted elongated sweptback headlamps are nothing short of a work of art, with the LED daytime running lamps splitting the twinpod cluster. The Elantra also oozes attitude with an all-black radiator grille and boomerang shaped fog lamps. This certainly would have pleased the previous rulers of the walled city.
And the Elantra looked the part, whether it was placed next to the Georgian architecture of the city's past or the modern art of the many murals now adorning the capital. The Elantra is not merely a pretty looking thing, as the bold lines in its silhouette complements its solid build. With muscular shoulder lines and bulging wheel arches, it reminds you of a sprinter about to get off the blocks.
In this day and age, progress is all about being environmentally conscious. So, even though the Elantra cruises comfortably at high speed and remains as stable, Hyundai has worked hard on the 1.8-litre petrol and 1.6-litre diesel engines for better efficiency and lower emissions. Keeping emissions in mind, another masterstroke by Hyundai is the addition of an inbuilt ioniser in the dual-zone air conditioner. It clears the air in the cabin of allergens like pollen, mould and hazardous airborne particles such as bacteria. And with the air quality being what it is in most big cities currently, this conscious effort goes a long way in helping us breathe slightly easier.
The Elantra is definitely bold when it comes to design, but what is interesting to see is how the Fluidic DNA is a sign of progress for Hyundai. Like Mumbai, it' s also continuously evolving with the times, and projecting Hyundai as a force to be reckoned with in the changing automotive world order.
