The Hyundai Celesta (Chinese: 现代悦动; pinyin: Xiàndài Yuèdòng) is a compact car produced by the Beijing Hyundai joint venture since 2017 to 2023, replacing the extended production of the Hyundai Elantra Yuedong.
Overview
Celesta
Unveiled on the 2016 Guangzhou Auto Show,[2] the Celesta is essentially a restyled and updated Hyundai Elantra Yuedong (A continuation of the fourth generation Hyundai Elantra). Production of the fourth generation Hyundai Elantra in South Korea ended in 2010, but production was carried on in China by the Beijing Hyundai joint venture. The Celesta would be sold alongside its predecessor, the Hyundai Elantra Yuedong, and sit slightly higher in the market.[3]
There is only one engine available for the Celesta, which is a 1.6-litre engine producing 122 hp (91 kW; 124 PS), mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission.[1]
