1. Outline smoked headlights. I wish the inner portion is also smoked, like in this post.
2. The rear lights fitted with 10 LED lights. Its perfect!
3. The new grill has got 3 vertical lines, instead of 5. I think it looks like the Merc C class grill. I like it, but incus/roadruns still win.
Original grill:
4. Signal lamps on the side mirror.
5. This is the biggest change, the dashboard. Most CH forummers like it, but I prefer the original design. There's something wrong about the new design. Its trying to look modern and traditional at the same time, and doesn't work for me. However the GEAR indicator is a good addition. Also note the "ECO" mode, which means there is a "SPORTS" mode somwhere :)
However, I prefer this dash below from the Elantra Touring. Its symmetrical, has a proper trip meter, shows you which door is not shut tight, looks cooler and more up to date, etc:

Additional observation:
- Another view of the new grill
- 4 reverse sensors
- Chrome door handles
- Suspension looks lower

I like the dash board and side mirror with LED... Me driving an Avante S @SG....
Do we know if the updated gage cluster is coming to North American models? For summer 2010 perhaps?
Jo: Does your Avante S come with the new dash and side mirror LED?
Dhalgren: No idea at all.
JT: No, My model is Year 2009 which the dashboard without the temperature gauge. Side mirror LED also not included. It's not arrived to SG yet.
Indeed, in North America, it seems the temp gage disappeared from Elantras in 2009. Really inexcusable.
