It can be said that the seventh-generation Elantra has become the best-selling model of Beijing Hyundai.
Actually, the Beijing Hyundai Elantra has been introduced to China in 2003. As the main cart of Beijing Hyundai to open up the Chinese market, it has also become famous in the Chinese market and left a deep impression on the minds of the previous generation. With the development of the domestic market, more and more best-selling models launched by major brands. Beijing Hyundai also carried out model adjustments and market layout. The Elantra announced the suspension of production and delisting in 2012, and subsequently replaced this car with new models named Lingdong, Yuedong , Langdong, etc.
In recent years, due to various influences, Beijing Hyundai’s sales have continued to decline, and it has even fallen out of the ranks of mainstream joint venture brands. In order to restore sales, Beijing Hyundai has launched a number of new models this year and reactivated them. "Elantra" named the new model, which is the latest seventh-generation Elantra.
First of all, from the appearance point of view, the new car does not have the more rounded line design style before. The new car has a brand-new design of the appearance, focusing on youthful and sporty style. The front face of the new car adopts a large-size mesh design, with long and narrow headlights on both sides, and a low-profile front design. The entire front face is very radical. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4680*1810*1415mm, and the wheelbase is 2720mm. In the same class, although the size of the Elantra is not the largest, it is considered to be relatively high, and it is 1.28:1. The aspect ratio makes the whole car look like a coupe. The overall line design of the
body side is also relatively smooth, and the slip-back tail shape, the upturned ducktail and through-type taillight design further highlight the sporty atmosphere of the vehicle.
In terms of interior, the overall layout of the seventh-generation Elantra adopts a minimalist style. Most areas in the car are wrapped in slush-plastic materials and decorated with a small amount of chrome trim, 10.25-inch suspended central control screen and 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel The combined dual-screen design, coupled with a brand-new electronic gear lever, makes the overall technological sense. The horizontal penetrating air-conditioning outlet design visually stretches the width of the carriage. And also designed the interior atmosphere lights of the same length, with 10 kinds of brightness adjustment and 64 kinds of color adjustable. Makes the sense of grade in the car also improved a lot.
In terms of power, the seventh-generation Elantra is equipped with a 1.5L self-priming engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with maximum power of 115 horsepower and 140 horsepower, respectively, which are matched with CVT continuously variable transmission and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The current seventh-generation Elantra sells a relatively popular configuration, which is the 1.5L self-priming version. In actual experience, the throttle adjustment of this car is more sensitive, and the power response is faster at the start, and there is no lack of power. feel. With the CVT continuously variable transmission, this car is also very smooth and fuel-efficient. When experiencing this car, the overall fuel consumption is 5.3L, which is relatively economical. However, this car is only able to respond to the dynamics at the start. When the speed is up, it will be a little bit meaty to increase the speed, especially after the speed reaches 100km/h, it is obvious that there will be some lack of power. If you are in pursuit of power, it is recommended to go directly to the 1.4T version.
Another point is that the sound insulation effect of this model is not ideal. When the speed is above 60km/h, the tire noise and wind noise in the car are relatively loud, and you need to play music to relieve it.
Overall, the seventh-generation Elantra
car, the overall appearance design and interior layout are relatively young, and matched enough to meet the power and good configuration of daily households, the starting price of 99,800, in the same level There is also a place in the model. This, we start from itsIt can also be seen from the sales volume since its launch that this car is still very popular with the public. Although it is not as high as the sales of Sylphy and LaVida, in terms of the growth rate, it can be regarded as bringing back some face for Beijing Hyundai.
