For the second time in three months, Hyundai Australia has increased the pricing of the Elantra small sedan.

The Elantra jumped in price by $250 in March, and now it has risen between $220 and $340, depending on the variant.

As a result, the Elantra line-up now ranges from $21,960 to $34,580 plus on-road costs (see full pricing table below).

Much like three months ago, no changes have been made to standard specification, with a Hyundai Australia spokesperson telling CarsGuide the price rises resulted from exchange-rate pressures.

As such, the Mazda3 sedan rival is still available in four grades: entry-level Go, mid-range Active and flagship Sport and Sport Premium.

A 112kW/192Nm 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine powers the Go and Active, the former of which is offered with a six-speed manual in addition to the latter’s six-speed torque-converter automatic.

The Sport and Sport Premium are motivated by a 150kW/265Nm 1.6-litre turbo-petrol unit, which is mated to either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. All versions exclusively send drive to their front wheels.

As reported, the Elantra will be replaced by the new i30 sedan in the second half of this year.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
