The Elantra will be the first executive sedan to feature the connected car technology. It competes with the likes of Skoda Octavia, Toyota Corolla Altis and Honda Civic.
When the Hyundai Venue was launched, it was not just the exterior design which caught the attention of Indians but the cool list of features which came with it. It was BlueLink technology which made the SUV better off the lot and now the same will be used in the Hyundai Elantra Facelift.
The BlueLink technology on the Hyundai Elantra allows a total of 34 features, out of which 10 features will be exclusive for India. The feature uses a 4F e-SIM to enable internet-connected features in the car. Now without wasting further ado, the features on the BlueLink are as follows:
The features are divided into 7 categories, Safety, Security, Remote, Vehicle Relationship Management, Location Based Services, Alert Services and Artificial Intelligence.
