Hyundai Avante Price and Specifications Revealed for Eighth-Generation Sedan

Pricing and Powertrain Options

On August 5, Hyundai Motor revealed the price and key specifications of the all-new Hyundai Avante, with orders for the eighth-generation compact sedan opening the same day. The model is offered in Modern, Premium, and Inspiration trims, with buyers able to choose between a 2.0-liter gasoline engine and a 1.6-liter hybrid system. Pricing starts at KRW 23.98 million for the gasoline version and KRW 30.42 million for the hybrid. The new sedan combines revised powertrain choices with upgraded digital, convenience, and safety equipment, positioning the latest generation as a technology-focused compact passenger car while retaining a conventional gasoline option alongside the hybrid powertrain.

Dimensions and Performance

The new sedan measures 4,765 mm in length, 1,855 mm in width, and has a 2,750 mm wheelbase, providing the dimensional basis for its compact-sedan packaging. The 2.0-liter gasoline version develops a maximum 149 hp and 18.3 kgfm, equivalent to 179 Nm, of torque. The 1.6-liter hybrid system produces a combined 157 hp and 27.0 kgfm, or 265 Nm, of torque. This gives customers a choice between a conventional gasoline powertrain and a hybrid system that combines higher combined output with technologies intended to improve efficiency and driving convenience in everyday conditions.

Hybrid Efficiency and Driving Technologies

The 1.6-liter hybrid version receives Smart Regenerative Braking System 3.0 and a Hybrid Instrumented Predictive Control System. These technologies are intended to improve driving convenience and real-world fuel efficiency by supporting the hybrid system's energy-management and braking behavior. The hybrid model also introduces Stay Mode, which allows users to continue utilizing certain vehicle functions for a period while the vehicle is stopped and the engine is switched off. The feature is designed to provide an experience similar to an electric vehicle in situations where occupants need to use vehicle functions without keeping the engine running.

Connected Features and Interior Technology

Hyundai Motor has also made connected and display technology standard across all trims through Pleos Connect, with either a 14.6-inch or 12.9-inch display depending on the configuration. The equipment list further includes a 9.9-inch slim display positioned at the driver's eye level, giving the driver an additional information interface. Standard equipment also includes an electric parking brake and a surround view monitor. Together, these features broaden the sedan's digital and parking-assistance capabilities while making higher levels of convenience technology available across the lineup rather than restricting them to a single top-grade configuration.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety and driver-assistance equipment forms another major part of the eighth-generation model's specification. The sedan is equipped with 10 airbags and an electronic shift-by-wire system that incorporates an emergency braking function activated through the P button. Hyundai Motor also provides Navigation Smart Cruise Control 2, which can automatically decelerate in designated sections such as safety zones, speed bumps, and intersections. These systems add active driving assistance and additional protection features to the new compact sedan, complementing its updated powertrain and connected-vehicle equipment.
