What Changed with Orders for the All-New Avante?
Hyundai Motor disclosed the key specifications and prices of the all-new Avante and began accepting orders on August 5, 2026. Introduced as the eighth-generation full model change arriving six years after the previous model, it is offered with two powertrains: a gasoline 2.0 and a 1.6 hybrid.
The first points to check are the prices and delivery conditions. The gasoline 2.0 is priced at KRW 23.98 million for Modern, KRW 27.71 million for Premium, and KRW 31.52 million for Inspiration. The 1.6 hybrid is priced before tax benefits at KRW 30.42 million for Modern, KRW 33.61 million for Premium, and KRW 36.99 million for Inspiration.
| Trim | Modern | Premium | Inspiration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gasoline 2.0 | KRW 23.98 million | KRW 27.71 million | KRW 31.52 million |
| 1.6 Hybrid | KRW 30.42 million | KRW 33.61 million | KRW 36.99 million |
Hybrid prices are listed before tax benefits. Hyundai said it plans to announce the tax-benefit prices and begin deliveries of the hybrid model after the eco-friendly vehicle designation is completed.
If you are considering a purchase, it is important not to compare the gasoline price and the hybrid’s final applicable price on different terms.
11,094 First-Day Orders Surpass the Seventh-Generation Record
Hyundai said on August 6, 2026, that the all-new Avante received a total of 11,094 orders on the first day orders opened. This surpassed the 10,058 first-day orders recorded by the seventh-generation Avante, launched in April 2020, setting what Hyundai described as the highest first-day order record in Avante history.
The trim mix also showed an interesting trend. On the first day, Inspiration accounted for 52% of orders, while Modern and Premium each accounted for 24%, according to Hyundai. The top trim taking more than half of orders may indicate that early buyers responded not only to price but also to the higher-level equipment package.
The hybrid take rate also increased. According to Hyundai, the hybrid accounted for 27.5% of first-day orders for the all-new Avante, up from 14.8% for the previous Avante.
Standard Features and Schedule: What to Check Before Ordering
Hyundai said Pleos Connect and the App Market are standard across all trims of the all-new Avante. It also described the model as the first in its lineup to feature an electronic shift lever P-position emergency braking function and Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control 2.
The delivery schedule differs by powertrain. Hyundai plans to begin customer deliveries of the gasoline 2.0 in the third quarter of 2026. For the hybrid, the tax-benefit price announcement and deliveries are planned after the eco-friendly vehicle designation is completed.
Customers will also have opportunities to see the vehicle in person. According to Hyundai’s official exhibition-event notice, nationwide showroom events for the all-new Avante will run from August 26 to October 4, 2026. The schedule may change depending on circumstances, so checking the official notice before visiting is recommended.
