Hyundai Avante coming next month to India

South Korean automaker Hyundai is expected to launch their Hyundai Avante model in the Indian market next month.

They had showcased this model at the 2008 Auto Expo in Delhi.

Hyundai would sell this car in both petrol and diesel models.

This would be their replacement for the Elantra model which was a miserable failure in India.

The petrol model is likely to be powered with a 2.0 liter engine. The diesel edition would get a 1.6 liter engine.

Its prime rival in the Indian market would be: Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Chevrolet Optra, and Skoda Octavia.
