HYUNDAILantra Wagon 1999 - 2001

　　The Hyundai Lantra/Elantra Wagon was facelifted along with the rest of the range in 1998 as a 1999 model year.

　　Hyundai was already known on the market, and the station-wagon version was a thought-after version, especially as a family car. It couldn't miss from dealers' showrooms, so it was kept in production even after the third generation appeared on the market in 2000.

　　Hyundai realized that it needs a grille to cool the engine and installed one on the facelifted model. It left a thick vertical slat to host its chromed badge. To make the new front fascia more appealing, the carmaker changed the headlights and the bumper.

　　Inside, the carmaker kept the same flowing lines from the non-facelifted version, but depending on the trim level, it added some amenities such as the sunroof. Hyundai didn't want to sell its vehicles without a minimal package, but that was differently expressed according to the market where the car was sold. The only thing that didn't change was the high loading capacity, where the Lantra excelled. With its rear bench folded down completely, it could get up to 1755 liters (62 cu-ft).

　　Under the hood, depending on the market, the Lantra featured a wide choice of engines ranged between 1.5- and 2.0-liter gasoline units. The latter provided 139 hp, so the car was surprisingly quick. A diesel version was also on the offer, powered by a Peugeot-sourced engine paired to a five-speed manual.
