HYUNDAI Lantra 1998 - 2000

Generation Information

Body style: None

Segment: None

After just three years on the market, the second generation of the Lantra surprised its customers with a facelifted version for the entire range.
Unlike the non-facelifted version, this time, both the sedan and the station-wagon featured the same front fascia. It was like brand recognition for a company that didn’t find its place on the market, but it didn’t want to give up. The Korean carmaker insisted on building the car on its platform, but with a Mitsubishi engine for the base model and a Peugeot-sourced diesel four-cylinder unit.

Hyundai realized that it needs a grille to cool the engine and installed one on the facelifted model. It left a thick vertical slat to host its chromed badge. To make the new front fascia more appealing, the carmaker changed the headlights and the bumper.

Inside, the carmaker kept the same flowing lines from the non-facelifted version, but depending on the trim level, it added some amenities such as the sunroof. Hyundai didn’t want to sell its vehicles without a minimal package, but that was differently expressed according to the market where the car was sold.

Under the hood, depending on the market, the Lantra featured a wide choice of engines ranged between 1.5- and 2.0-liter gasoline units. The latter provided 139 hp, so the car was surprisingly quick.
