Hyundai's New 2027 Elantra Wagon Wants To Make Family Cars Great Again - Rendering

Hyundai’s New 2027 Elantra Wagon wants to make family cars great again as a concept rendering, but Hyundai has no plans for such a five-door variant. The article notes that Hyundai’s new-generation Elantra, the eighth generation, debuted in South Korea recently as a four-door sedan and is expected to reach North America for the 2027 model year. While the internet proposed a station-wagon take, the hypothetical design—created by Instagram rendering artist @kelsonik—would extend the roofline and add updated rear-side windows and a larger cargo area through a new tailgate. The rear includes the same general styling as the new Elantra, while the rendering replaces the badge with an Avante nameplate for the home market. It also adds roof rails and larger wheels, and positions the wagon closer to the ground than the sedan. In Korea, the Avante is offered with a 2.0-liter engine rated at 147 hp and a 1.6-liter self-charging hybrid rated at 155 hp combined. U.S. specifications and pricing were not provided.
