Hyundai Avante generations

Restyles are kept inside the generation they belong to. The catalogue still stores them as separate records (that is why pokoleniy is 10, not 6).

Which version to choose

The catalogue has no prices. Choice is only by the numbers above.

If the goal is the highest power and the shortest 0–100 in this table, 7 generation 2.0 MT 280 hp and 2.0 DCT 280 hp are 280 − 204 = 76 hp above the 6 generation Turbo Gasoline 1.6 MT / 1.6 DCT 204 hp, and 5.3 s versus 7.5 / 7.7 s (a 2.2–2.4 s gap). Both 280 hp cars list top speed 250. Mixed consumption, CO2 and kerb weight on those two are not measured.

If the goal is lowest mixed fuel use among measured figures, 4 generation 1.6 MT 117 hp Diesel at 4.76 is 0.84 below 6 generation Diesel mixed 5.6, and 1.15 below 5 generation restyling 1.6 MT 128 hp Diesel at 5.91. The 4 generation Diesel 1.6 MT has 117 hp and 165 Nm; the 6 generation 1.6 DCT 136 hp Diesel has 136 hp and 306 Nm (141 Nm more torque) with 0–100 10.7 s.

If the goal is a 204 hp Gasoline Turbo sedan with a measured sprint, 6 generation restyling 1.6 MT 204 hp (7.5 s, mixed 8.6, tank 50 L, kerb 1350 kg) is 0.2 s quicker than 1.6 DCT 204 hp (7.7 s, mixed 8.3, tank 47 L, kerb 1380 kg). Same 270 Nm and 1591 cc.

If the goal is LPG, tanks are 53 L on 4–6 generation LPG cars and 64 L on 7 generation 1.6 AT 120 hp (11 L more). Mixed use on that 7 generation LPG AT is 9.5 versus 8.6 on 6 generation restyling 1.6 AT 120 hp LPG and 9.8 on 6 generation 1.6 AT 120 hp LPG.

If the goal is a Coupe, the only Coupe block is 5 generation restyling (2013-12-01 to 2015-12-31). Inside it, Diesel 1.6 MT 128 hp mixed 5.91 / CO2 103 versus Gasoline 1.6 MT 140 hp mixed 7.1 / CO2 122 (1.19 mixed units and 19 g/km CO2 more on the 140 hp Gasoline).

If the goal is a Liftback, that body is only 3 generation and its restyling. Fastest measured top speed there is 204 on restyle 2.0 MT 143 hp; strongest torque is 240 Nm on restyle Diesel 1.5 MT / 1.5 AT 104 hp.

City/highway split is not measured on most 5–7 generation cars except the 6 generation / restyling Diesels and 2.0 AT 149 hp (city 9.3, highway 6.7, mixed 8). Do not treat a blank city figure as zero.

Hyundai Avante problems, common problems, reliability

This catalogue row set has no failure counts, recall lists, or reliability scores. Those fields are not measured here. What the numbers do show: every version is FWD; there is no AWD row to compare; Diesel torque is high relative to hp on 3 generation restyling 104 hp / 240 Nm and 6 generation 136 hp / 306 Nm; 7 generation 280 hp cars omit kerb, mixed use and CO2. Those gaps are missing measurements, not a reliability verdict.

Hyundai Avante review (facts only)

Across 1995-03-01 onward, Avante in this file is a FWD 4-cylinder Inline car that moved from Sedan (2 generation) to Liftback (3 generation) back to Sedan (4–7), with one Coupe restyle of 5 generation. Version count per record is 4 to 8. Power band in the data is 95–280 hp. The 7 generation is the only record without a measured production stop. Empty cells (top speed, 0–100, wheels, gross weight, eco class) stay not measured.
