Which car manufacturer produces the Hyundai Elantra? Hyundai is the answer.

The Hyundai Elantra is a compact car produced by Hyundai, the South Korean automobile manufacturer. It has been in production since 1990 and is sold in many markets as a four-door sedan. The model is positioned below larger Hyundai cars and has competed internationally with compact vehicles such as the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Volkswagen Jetta.

The car is known as the Hyundai Avante in South Korea and in some other markets. Hyundai generally uses the Elantra name for exports, while Avante remains the familiar domestic name. Earlier export markets also used the name Hyundai Lantra, but the Elantra name became the global standard in most regions.

The first-generation Elantra was introduced in 1990 and replaced the Hyundai Stellar in South Korea’s lineup. Later generations added more advanced safety equipment, efficient engines, hybrid variants and increasingly distinctive styling. A common mistake is selecting Kia, Genesis or SsangYong: Kia and Genesis are related South Korean automotive brands, but the Elantra itself is a Hyundai model.
