Hyundai Avante 3rd Gen

2000 – 2006 — South Korea

The Hyundai Elantra, also known as the Hyundai Avante in South Korea, is a compact car introduced by Hyundai in 1990. Initially, it was marketed as the Lantra in Australia and select European markets due to name conflicts with other models. The name "Avante" was also avoided in some regions to prevent confusion with Audi's "Avant" designation for station wagons. In 2001, the name was standardized as "Elantra" globally, except in South Korea, Singapore, and Russia. The first-generation Elantra, codenamed J1, was unveiled in October 1990 and underwent a facelift in 1993.
