Is the Elantra Hybrid Set to Launch in Pakistan Soon?

Following the recent launches of Deepal and BYD, Hyundai Nishat Motors appears poised to introduce the 7th generation Elantra in Pakistan. Historically, Pakistan tends to receive new vehicle generations 4 to 5 years after their global introduction, and the 7th generation Elantra, which debuted internationally in 2020, seems to be following this trend. With signs pointing toward its arrival in Pakistan, many speculate that a hybrid version is on the way.

Elantra Hybrid Sightings
On August 6th, 2024, the 7th generation Elantra was reportedly spotted in the Baluchistan region of Pakistan. While Hyundai Nishat Motors did not officially confirm the sighting, unofficial leaks and photographs began circulating online. These reports suggest that the model seen could potentially be a hybrid variant, sparking interest among local enthusiasts.

Teaser from Hyundai
Recently, Hyundai Nishat Motors shared a teaser on their official Instagram account featuring an image of a steering wheel. Our analysis indicates that this steering wheel belongs to the 7th generation Hyundai Elantra. Experts believe that this teaser hints at the introduction of the hybrid model. Previously, Hyundai had also shared videos suggesting the arrival of something new, further fueling speculation about the 7th generation Elantra hybrid.

  

Anticipated Hybrid Trim
Currently, it is believed that Hyundai will launch the Elantra with a 1.6-liter hybrid engine. While the international version of the Elantra offers two naturally aspirated variants—1.6 and 2.0 liters—reports indicate that the Pakistani market will receive the 1.6-liter hybrid. This decision is likely due to the existing presence of the 1.6-liter petrol variant in the local market, with the hybrid set to replace it.

Expected Launch Timeline
Though there has been no official announcement regarding the launch date or location for the Hyundai Elantra hybrid, many speculate it will debut at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2024, scheduled for October 25-27 in Lahore. If this occurs, we can anticipate the hybrid model to be available in the Pakistani market by the summer of 2025.
