HYUNDAI Excel 5 Doors 1998 - 2000

Generation Information

Body style: None

Segment: None

The last generation of the Excel was available in three body versions: hatchback with three and five-doors and a sedan.
It was a transition model to the Accent lineup.

It was a time of an uncertain future for the Korean carmaker. It tried different versions for different markets, and the same went with the names. While the Excel kept that name in some countries, it showed a different name in the others, such as the Accent or Pony.

Its styling was still bland, with a rounded shape. It might be one of the best examples of biodesign made by a carmaker who didn’t have a proper car design experience. Its oval, slim headlights and the slot that acted as a grille were the first signs of a carmaker that didn’t really know how to put body parts on a car and look good. At least, it wasn’t ugly anymore. Just bland.

Inside, there was a big improvement in material quality over its predecessor. The cloth seats with velour and plastic door panels were better fitted and didn’t rattle all the time. There was just a shy try to enhance the cabin by using light-gray colors and pastel color pattern on the seats. Since it was built as a hatchback, the carmaker installed a split-folding rear bench.

Under the hood, Hyundai installed two engine choices: a 1.3-liter and a 1.5-liter unit. Both were bought from Mitsubishi.
