It has been over 60 years since the first German iF Design Awards were held. The design awards have been recognized across the world as a symbol of design and styling excellence across various fields including automobile design. Organized by iF International Forum Design GmbH, the awards recognize outstanding design across various disciplines and categories. The jury awarded the sought-after prize to Hyundai Motor’s All-new Elantra and All-New Tucson following a rigorous judging process, involving almost 5,000 entries from 53 countries Both cars won the iF Design Award 2016 in “Product” discipline, under “Automobiles / Vehicles / Bikes”.
The new Tucson is already on sale in Malaysia and we should see the Elantra being launched soon. I suppose the reason why we have not gotten the all new Elantra is because Hyundai Sime Darby should be in the midst of preparing local assembly of this popular model as well as giving some time to finish off stocks of the current and outgoing Elantra (which after all these years is still quite a quality buy and still looks fresh in terms of styling). But I am looking forward to the new car. It looks like a more mature design especially that strong looking front end styling.
