Year to Year Changes
1997 Hyundai Elantra:
Except for revised interior fabrics, Hyundai's midlevel sedan continued as before.
1998 Hyundai Elantra:
Elantra saw no changes for 1998.
1999 Hyundai Elantra:
Elantra got modest nose and tail restyling, and replaced the 1.8-liter 4-cylinder with a 2.0-liter unit. The GLS model was dropped, but GL could be ordered with antilock brakes.
2000 Hyundai Elantra:
After nearly a year's absence, the uplevel GLS model returned, but entry-level GL trim was gone; so GLS was the sole model.
