The Hyundai Avante Sport (2016 Hyundai Elantra Sport) has been revealed in South Korea as the performance variant of the sixth generation Hyundai Avante (Hyundai Elantra) that debuted late last year. The Avante Sport measures 4,570 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width and 1,435 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,700 mm. With that said, the only dimension change is the height being reduced by 5 mm.

Interior highlights include flat-bottomed steering wheel with body-colored stitching, sport bucket seats, faux carbon fibre trim and red accents.
