Elan was the first authentic sports car introduced to the Korean market—an iconic model that brought sports car culture to Korea. Based on an overseas design, it was fully localized and produced entirely by hand. More than just a car, Elan symbolized Kia’s bold spirit of innovation.
Its low-slung silhouette and pop-up headlamps—a signature of two-seater roadsters—captured attention and added to its distinctive appeal.
