The Hyundai Elantra is the perfect example to demonstrate that there is still place for cars on the market and that SUVs have not dominated the entire field, because it offers a host of quality and above all a very wide range.
Unsurprisingly,
there is a lot to cover when it comes to the mechanical aspect of the Hyundai
Elantra since the Korean manufacturer's compact sedan offers 4 different
options. All this brings us to a small 2.0 l and 4-cylinder engine that serves
as an entry-level engine with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. It's a
fairly standard mechanical and it's available with a 6-speed manual or a CVT
depending on which version you opt for. We then move on to the hybrid version
which benefits from a combination of a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder gasoline engine and
an electric motor for a total power of 139 horsepower. You should not expect
extraordinary performance from this engine, but it allows the Hyundai Elantra
Hybrid to display an average consumption of 4.5 L/100km in the city and
4.2L/100km on the highway and that, it is very impressive.
Sportier mechanics
since there are 2. So we start with the 1.6-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged
engine of the N Line version. Despite its modest displacement, the latter
boasts 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Note that the only option
available here is a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Finally, the N
version offers us a turbocharged 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine developing 276
horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. In addition, you have the choice between a
6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission. This version
is able to shoot down the 0-100 in 5.3 seconds, which is impressive. However,
what it lacks is an integral cog to truly be competitive.
Professionals in the field consider Hyundai to be a design pioneer. Every time the Elantra gets a complete overhaul, the Korean automaker completely changes its style and I have to say I like it. In fact, it's a risky bet since you can't follow the evolution of a model as well as with a car like the Porsche 911, but it's what allows the Elantra to stay at the top. in my opinion. The interior of the 2022 Hyundai Elantra is just as flashy and modern as the exterior and it suits it perfectly. The sedan from the Korean manufacturer is entitled to elements that are not found elsewhere in the industry, such as its superb steering wheel.
The interior of the all-new Elantra will be very modern and immersive.
In front of him, the driver will have access to a large screen where he will
find the vehicle controls as well as a central 10.25-inch touch screen. Also,
the touchscreen will have the very first wireless compatibility with Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
As for the Elantra Hybrid, it will be equipped with a 1.6L four-cylinder
block, in addition to a 32-kW electric motor, both working together. Its battery will have a capacity of 1.32 kWh and will be
located under the rear seat. The Elantra Hybrid will be able to propel 139 horsepower
and 195 lb-ft of torque.
The range of the Hyundai Elantra has never been as wide and diverse as
it is today in terms of mechanics. First, there's the regular gasoline version,
which starts at $17,999, which also makes it one of the most affordable cars in
its class. Of course, there are several trim levels accompanying the latter
with the Preferred and Ultimate versions starting at $21,999 and $25,699
respectively. Look at it how you want, but you can literally upgrade to the best-equipped
version for the same price as the base model from the competition. Then there
is the hybrid version with a base price of $24,799 which is also available in
Ultimate version for $27,099.
Then we pass the sporty N Line version with a base price of $27,699.
Finally, if you are looking for a good performance car, this is also something
available to you in the Elantra range with the N version. It has a base price
of $32,448 (estimated), which is still very reasonable for a car of this
caliber.
