Hyundai Avante

Shortlisted a few models like Cerato, Shuttle, Toledo and Sylphy before settling on an Avante S model as it has the most features at similar pricing. Exterior design looks similar to the previous version but the back looks a lot nicer and sportier. Interior looks more traditional compared to the sportier Cerato but still acceptable to me. Engine is smooth and sound insulation is average; Still can hear a bit of outside noise but still better than my previous car Forte.

Modern conveniences, onboard entertainment, and the latest safety features,

Hyundai had 1.6-litre inline-four engine and six-speed autobox are better paired to offer a smoother progress.

And it’S competent in this area and the facelifted version remains very much so.

Even when nearing 5000rpm, the Avante remains unusually calm for a 1.6-litre mass-market model

Rented the S trim from Komoco for a road trip up North. The car performed respectably along the North South Highway, with cruise control making the long distance a breeze. NVH was decent, with wind and tyre noise above 120 kph being acceptable. The infotainment system came complete with Apple carplay (and Android Auto) plus touch screen capabilities, making navigation quite convenient.

Overall a recommended ride at this price range.

The touch of the steering is one of the first experience of a new driver that one could expect to test drive. More to say this car handle well and gives a comfort and calm feeling to those has yet to go on roads. While those who are experienced driver find themselves more suited to the likes of the pick up speed and value of the features that it can offers to match other cars in the market. In short it is a car that has met expectations.

Bought this as my first car in SG, it's also my wfie's first car.

Although it's our first car in SG, I have been driving/ renting car (Mazda 3, Attrage, BMW) in SG and oversea for a while, I'm not new to driving.

Local grab/ uber ride also give me some thought on what to look for my own ride.

What i am looking for my car: basic car for my wife daily trip to office, family car @ Weekend and ocassional ride to MY. The ride must be at least as comfortable as cab/ grab.

With all this considered, i chose avante base model.

Feature packed at a bargain @ $20K cheaper than a similar specs Honda Civic or Toyota Altis with no compromise in comfort and reliability.

Taking the base model Hyundai Avante GLS to compare with the Kia Cerato L which shares identical engines, the Avante comes with traction control, rear aircon vents, rear disc brakes, drive modes (Eco & Sports), Tuff Kote rust proof and Sound Clad insulation which the Cerato L lacks, and 7 airbags against the Cerato L's 2 air bags.

Tested the Avante Elite variant. Sturdier and seems more durable when comparing to Attrage but hence the higher pricing as well. Car is certainly suitable for SG driving.

Compared to the kia cerato, this is more Value for money while the Cerato is more of looks rather than value. For example, the cheapest variant of both cars have a huge difference in terms of specs. The Cerato barely offers anything and either get a free upgrade to leather seats and touchscreen or top up yourself. While the Avante has alot of of features such as Rear aircon, touchscreen and leather seats.It is also safer as it has 6 airbags compared to 2 on the Cerato and also includes TC. So, if your planning to buy any of these two, U can choose either looks or specs.

We wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to Komoco management and the sales team for the wonderful services rendered during our recent new Hyundai Avante purchase.

On 22nd July 2019, I went to Komoco showroom together with my wife and relative to meet Ms Anna Yap the sales consultant to view the range of vehicles and subsequently, Anna arranged for us to go for a test drive and at the end of it, we were amazed with the smoothness, quietness and responsiveness of the Avante engine. We were also impressed with the design of this compact sedan and felt that it was well suited for the needs of my family and budget consideration.

We had a wonderful experience at the showroom as Anna who had been with the company for the past 15 years was able to provide us the professional and excellent service throughout our visit meticulously, patiently and cheerfully.

At the end of the day, we felt that the new Hyundai Avante was the right choice for us as our expectations in terms of practicality, affordability, safety and efficiency were met.

On 5th August 2019, we went back to Komoco showroom to finalize the sales contract with a booking fee for the bidding of the COE.

On 7th August 2019, I received a pleasant surprise from Anna informing and congratulating me that I have successfully secured the 1st bidding of COE with the strong support of Komoco despite the huge jump of COE price. I was overjoyed with the news and I am now a happy buyer.

Many companies provide services as part of their offerings but it is only with Superior service that makes or cuts a deal.

Congrats for having Anna in your staff.

I drove the Avante HD previously and was impressed by the reliability and low cost of maintenance. Decided to skip the Elantra from the previous generation and went straight for the facelift Avante instead. Just look at the number of coe renewed avante running on the roads now, reliability is proven since they are still using the same engine and gearbox albeit some tuning improvements.

Absolutely no regrets for the price we are paying for at sub 80k for the s model which is a great balance between the basic and elite model. Gotten the car at 75k (some might have gotten lower at 73k during the CNY 8888 promo) and with a parf value of 7k+, the depreciation works out to be less than 7k per annum. Car price is about 5k difference per trim level. Shares similar parts with pre-facelift elantra so maintenance and repairs will be a breeze.

During my car hunt, I was comparing a few sedans within the same range such as Civic/Vios/Impreza/XV/Cerato. Test drove all these cars but CVT gearbox really make the drive horrible and lethargic despite flooring the accelerator but gotta give credit to Honda for making civic a decent drive despite the CVT.

In the end, decided to just compare sedan cars with the traditional AT gearboxes which left me with only Cerato/Avante within the sub 80k price range. Price wise only cerato came close but at the expense of safety features and having to deal with the nonsense t&c from C&C such as minimum loan, mandatory trade in and long delivery times. A savvy guy just needs to do a simple computation and conclude that you are paying way more for the cerato with lesser safety features as compared to avante.

Hyundai Avante 2018 is a newly design, young and up trend car model

in Singapore market. The car capture my attention in 15 Nov 18 but at

that point of time, i am very happy and comfortable with my hyundai

Accent (2015) and have no intention to change.

Somehow after a visit to the Komoco show room in June 19, makes me think twice and eventually go for the change. Komoco Singapore Sales team Patrick Neo exhibits great professionalism, patience in his car introduction and allow me time to test drive the all New Hyundai Avante that finally makes me go for the change.

This is a review of the Hyundai Elantra which I have now owned for 9 months and clocked over 12k km. To begin with, I should convey that I am extremely happy with the car. Honestly, it has exceeded our overall expectations from a daily commuter.

I went saloon car hunting in Dec 2019. The usual suspects are Japanese T, H, N, and Koreans K and Hyundai. In terms of built quality, the Koreans had pickup a lot over the years. As for price wise, it is about 10 K lesser than the Japanese. Next, the reliability, we still see a lot of Hyundai on the road nowadays with COE being renewed.

In the end, it's between K and Hyundai. The drive not much difference, though K has rear drum brake. Next, look is not important to me, since I will be sitting inside.

In the end, I have chosen the Avante basic model, as it has a rear aircon and comes with 6 airbags. For me, it is a no brainer. Just collected my Intense Blue car on Tuesday. Very happy with my purchase and the SE service at Ubi is excellent.

Initially was looking at Honda Jazz 1.3, and SE quoted me 69k.

However, decided to pop by to KMC to have a look at the Accent, when the SE told me about the 8888$ discount.

Originally my budget was 70k, hence the base model of the Avante suited my needs perfectly.

Did a test drive and fell in love with the car. I typically drive my dad's car which is a Diesel MPV, so its abit difficult to get an Apple to Apple comparison.

But comparing it with the Jazz and Accent during the test drives, the Avante's insulation, road feel and handling just felt superior.

The rear seat space is also spacious and it would be perfect for me - as I'm embarking on having children soon.

All in all, looking forward to continue driving my new baby!

The new 2019 Avante 'S' trim was a natural choice for me when i scrapped my older 2009 Avante 'S' due to the following reasons.
