Uzone.id – The Hyundai Elantra has a history in Indonesia because this car is the first Hyundai model to pave in the country in 1995 which was imported by PT Citra Mobil Nasional.
The first generation Elantra in Indonesia at that time entered the national car program under the name Bimantara Nenggala with the availability of a 1.6 L engine.
Subsequently, in 1996, Hyundai established an assembly company named PT Hyundai Mobil Indonesia and PT Hyundai Indonesia Motor by producing the Hyundai Accent 1.5L.
However, this time there is bad news. Hyundai has reportedly stopped production of the Elantra as a D-segment sedan in India. We also noticed that the official Hyundai India website was no longer showing an image of the Elantra.
