Hyundai Elantra

The Hyundai Elantra (Korean: 현대 엘란트라), also known as the Hyundai Avante (Korean: 현대 아반떼), is a series of compact cars produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 1990.

In South Korea, the first-generation model was initially sold under the "Elantra" nameplate, but starting from the second-generation, Korean models were sold under the "Avante" nameplate, with the "Elantra" name continue to be used on export models. The "Avante" name is not used in most export markets due to its similarity with Audi's "Avant" designation, used for their station wagon models. As of 2018, Singapore is the only export market outside South Korea to utilize the "Avante" name.

In Australia and some European markets, the Elantra was initially marketed as the Lantra during its first two generations, due to the similarly named "Elante" trim for the Mitsubishi Magna in the former market, and the Lotus Elan in the latter. After Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) dropped the "Elante" trim from the Magna range, and Lotus ceased production of the Elan in 1995, Hyundai standardized the "Elantra" name for both Australian and European markets in 2001, following the introduction of the third-generation model.

The first-generation model was also sold as the Bimantara Nenggala in Indonesia between 1995 and 1998. Since the seventh-generation, the "Elantra" name was retired in Australia, when Hyundai integrated it into the i30 range, badging it as the i30 Sedan.
