Hyundai Motor debuts 2025 Avante with improved cluster space use

Hyundai Motor Co. announced on Thursday that it has launched the updated model of the compact sedan, 2025 Avante, and has begun full-scale sales.

Since its debut in 1990, the Avante has become a popular model with a cumulative global sales volume exceeding 15 million units.

The new Avante has been improved with enhanced product features, allowing accessories to be mounted using magnets on the “cluster side panel” to the left of the steering wheel. Customizable accessories, such as a multipurpose storage box and a card multi-holder, will also be released for attachment to the panel.

The trims are divided into Smart, Modern and Inspiration, with the high-performance “N” line available in both Modern and Inspiration trims.

The new Avante comes standard with an electronic rearview mirror (ECM), which is highly preferred by customers. The Modern trim includes additional features such as Hi-pass, a driver’s safety power window and second-row air vents.

Additionally, a fire extinguisher has been installed inside the vehicle for safety. A new exterior color, “Mirage Green,” previously popular on the Kona, a subcompact crossover, has been introduced.

“The 2025 Avante has enhanced the usability of the cluster space and introduced a new exterior color to expand customer-preferred features. We will continue to strive to provide vehicles that meet customer needs,” said a Hyundai Motor official.
