Hyundai Elantra GLS (Old Model) Updates

Sunday, 15 October 2023 09:18 PM Hyundai has decided to discontinue the Elantra GLS model in the Indian market, focusing instead on the newer generations of the Elantra. This move is part of Hyundais strategy to streamline its product lineup and concentrate on more modern and feature-rich models. I think this is a wise decision, as the newer Elantra models offer better technology and design.

Tuesday, 20 June 2023 12:18 PM In a final update before its discontinuation, the Hyundai Elantra GLS received some minor tweaks, including new interior trim options and enhanced safety features. However, these updates were not enough to save the model from being phased out in favor of newer variants. I believe these updates were a last attempt to keep the model relevant.

Wednesday, 15 March 2023 11:22 AM Hyundai adjusted the pricing of the Elantra GLS in India due to changing market conditions and increasing competition. The prices were slightly reduced to make the model more competitive, but it ultimately did not prevent its discontinuation. I think this price adjustment was a necessary step, even if it was temporary.

Saturday, 10 December 2022 11:18 AM Sales of the Hyundai Elantra GLS saw a significant decline in the Indian market, largely due to the introduction of newer and more feature-rich models. Consumers were increasingly opting for the latest generation of the Elantra, leading to a drop in demand for the older GLS variant. I believe this decline was inevitable given the market trends.

Tuesday, 20 September 2022 11:25 PM Hyundai introduced new color options for the Elantra GLS in an effort to boost sales. The new colors included shades like Phantom Black and Polar White, which were well-received by consumers. However, this move did not significantly impact the overall sales figures. I think adding new colors was a good attempt to refresh the model.

Wednesday, 15 June 2022 09:36 AM The Hyundai Elantra GLS faced stiff competition from the Honda Civic, which was updated with more advanced features and better performance. The Civics popularity further reduced the demand for the Elantra GLS, making it harder for Hyundai to maintain sales. I believe the competition from Honda was a major factor in the decline of the GLS.

Friday, 25 March 2022 07:11 AM Hyundai updated the Elantra GLS with additional safety features, including rearview camera and advanced airbags, to comply with new safety regulations in India. These upgrades were mandatory but did not significantly enhance the models appeal. I think these safety upgrades were necessary and beneficial.

Tuesday, 11 January 2022 12:22 AM The Hyundai Elantra GLS experienced a price hike in India due to increased taxes and regulatory changes. This price increase made the model less competitive in the market, further reducing its appeal to consumers. I believe this price hike was unfortunate but unavoidable.

Wednesday, 20 October 2021 06:51 AM Despite being an older model, the Hyundai Elantra GLS continued to offer good fuel efficiency, making it a viable option for budget-conscious buyers. However, its lack of modern features and design kept it from being a top choice. I think its fuel efficiency was one of its strong points.

Tuesday, 15 June 2021 07:14 AM The Hyundai Elantra GLS was still considered a reliable choice in the Indian market, known for its durability and low maintenance costs. However, its outdated design and features made it less appealing compared to newer models. I believe its reliability was a significant selling point.
