Hyundai Lantra I (J1) gallery (1990–1995)
The first-generation Hyundai Lantra (J1) compact sedan was produced from 1990 to 1995 for European and Australian export markets.
The I (J1) generation of the Hyundai Lantra was manufactured between 1990 and 1995. The Hyundai Lantra (J1 chassis) was marketed in Europe and Australia from 1990 to 1995 due to trademark restrictions on the Elantra badge.
Built as a 4-door compact sedan, it utilized Mitsubishi-derived Sirius 1.6L and 1.8L DOHC 16V engines. A 1993 facelift brought rounded lighting and refreshed bumpers. Throughout its production run, the I (J1) established a strong reputation for powertrain efficiency, passenger comfort, and structural reliability.
