2017 Hyundai Elantra SR Previewed With Korean-Market Avante Sport

We’ve already reported that Hyundai will be turning up the wick on its Elantra small sedan by slotting in the Veloster SR Turbo's turbo 1.6 litre, but while that car won’t be arriving on our shores until the second half of 2016 we can still take a look at what to expect in its Korean market equivalent, the Avante Sport.

Making its debut in Korea this week, the Hyundai Avante Sport (which will be sold in other markets as the Elantra Sport, and in Australia as the Elantra SR), features a direct-injected 1.6 litre turbo inline four with 152kW and 265Nm, as well as body mods with a distinctly sporty flavour.
