Why Don’t All Variants of the Elantra in Pakistan Offer Features Advertised in Other Markets?

Buyers often expect features like adaptive cruise control, ventilated seats, o r wireless charging—seen in international models—but they’re missing in Pakistani versions. Why are these features excluded, and is it possible to retrofit them locally?

Pakistani-market Elantras often have fewer features compared to international versions due to local market pricing strategies, import restrictions, and consumer demand. Features like adaptive cruise control, ventilated seats, o r wireless charging add to the cost and complexity of the vehicle. Local assembly plants may also omit advanced features to simplify manufacturing o r reduce costs. While some features can be retrofitted like aftermarket wireless chargers o r parking sensors, complex tech like adaptive cruise control generally requires factory-installed hardware and software integration, making retrofits difficult and costly.
