Hyundai has a 5-door hatchback version of the Elantra that will be bowing in 2008, and it's getting an early debut at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas as the Elantra Touring "Beach Cruiser" Concept. The Beach Cruiser is a SEMA vehicle in the truest sense, having been customized by K-Daddyz Kustomz. It features a two-tone paint job of Amazing Grape and Tango Orange with tribal graphics that supposedly incorporate the Hyundai 'H', but we're having a hard time seeing it. There's a giant panoramic sunroof in place of the roof, while the interior is customized to the hilt. The rear cargo space is dominated by a custom enclosure with eight speakers and a plexiglass floor beneath which the high-end audio bits are hidden. There's not much to bolster the Beach Cruiser's performance here, however, except a cold air intake and strut tower brace, although Hyundai lists the painted motor cover and engine accessories as mechanical upgrades. We'll have more pics of this wild concept from the floor of the show next week, but in the meantime check out the official press release after the jump and our gallery below.
