Initially marketed as the Lantra in Australia and some European markets, the name was later standardized as "Elantra" worldwide in 2001, except in South Korea, Singapore, and Russia due to regional naming conflicts with other car models such as Mitsubishi and Audi. The first generation of the Elantra was introduced in October 1990 under the codename J1, with a mid-term facelift following in 1993.
