SPY SHOTS: Is this the 2011 Hyundai Elantra or the New Accent Sedan?
Most of the times we receive spy photos from our partners, we don't have any questions or doubts about the type and make of the vehicles that we're dealing with. But once in a while, some scoops baffle us.
These spy shots were labeled as the next generation 2011 Hyundai Elantra. And while we have no doubt that it's a Hyundai, we are not at all convinced that what we're looking at here is the new Elantra. In fact, we believe that there's a possibility it may be the saloon version of the next generation Accent.
Evidently, you're wondering what made us consider the new Accent.
Well, compared to other spy shots of the Elantra here in the U.S., this camouflaged prototype that was spied in Germany appears to be more compact in dimensions and it features a less swooping roofline. Furthermore, the shape of the window frame at the rear door is also different.
A third option is that this may be the Euro-spec Elantra, but for the time being, we're leaning towards the Accent.
You can compare these photos with spy shots of the Elantra from other sites by clicking the links below, and tell us what you think.
Accent or Elantra, one thing is for sure: the styling of the prototype model is clearly inspired by the larger Sonata, and that should be something from a design standpoint.
