A new rendering from digital artist Kelsonik reimagines the bold 2027 Hyundai Elantra as a sharp estate, giving the divisive sedan a more cohesive shape.
The extended roofline and redesigned rear end create a genuinely attractive silhouette, with the swollen arches that look awkward on the sedan finding a natural home on the longer body.
Black roof rails and enlarged side windows behind the C-pillars complete the estate look, subtly transforming the rear three-quarter view.
Hyundai Won't Build an Elantra Wagon
Despite the compelling design, Hyundai has no plans to produce an estate version of the Elantra.
Hyundai Europe boss Xavier Martinet recently confirmed that when the current i30 ends production, so will the i30 Wagon.
The company cites limited demand for wagons, especially in China and the US, and higher profitability from SUVs as reasons for not developing a new estate.
Enthusiasts can look forward to a high-performance N version of the new Elantra, which is expected to replace the 2.0-liter engine with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, possibly with electrification.
