Hyundai is reportedly planning to relaunch the 6th-generation Elantra hybrid with a 2.0-litre petrol engine in Pakistan, giving competition to Toyota and Honda.

According to the PakWheels report, the company is preparing to reintroduce the older 6th-gen model to its lineup for sale.

The 6th-generation Elantra was previously sold in the Pakistani market with the 2.0-litre ICE. However, on October 25, 2024, Hyundai launched the 7th-generation Elantra with a hybrid powertrain and discontinued the earlier 6th-generation model locally.

According to the report, Hyundai will not depend on leftover kits of the 6th generation. The company has planned to locally assemble the new units at the plant.

Sources said that Hyundai aims to fill the price gap in Pakistan’s sedan segment. The 6th-generation Elantra is expected to compete directly with the Toyota Corolla and Honda City Aspire, both strong performers in the conventional petrol category.

  • The 7th-generation Elantra hybrid caters to buyers looking for a hybrid and upper-budget sedan option.
  • The 6th-generation Elantra ICE will target the same category of customers who want to buy a conventional petrol-powered sedan like the Toyota Corolla or Honda City Aspire.
