In the past two years, Korean cars in the domestic market can be described as waterloo, not only the main car Hyundai 10th Generation Sonata, Hyundai Festa, K5 Kaiku sales performance is average, but also the high-end positioning of the GenisesYS G70, G80 models of the sense of existence is also very general, almost marginalized by consumers and the market. In the field of SUVs, it is difficult to have the grand situation that the lion run, smart run, IX35, and Shengda can be seen everywhere, so is the Korean car really lagging behind the times? Today, let's analyze it through the modern Rena.
As a small car, Hyundai Rena's guidance price is very affordable, starting at 49,900 yuan, basically more affordable than most domestic models, and today's interpretation is an automatic low-end model, that is, the guidance price of 65,900 yuan GLS Yuexiang version of the model, this price and domestic brand competitors, but also belongs to the level of almost no gap.
The fluid sculpture design language of modern models ten years ago has attracted the attention of many Chinese people, so at that time, modern eight generations of Sonata, Langdong and other models were still very popular, but in today's Hyundai Rena, it is difficult for us to see such a stunning design of that year, I don't know if it is the aesthetic fatigue of the Chinese people? Or is it that the design standards of various manufacturers are improving, while hyundai is standing still, so it seems to be invisible? There may be no standard answer to this question, but the only thing that is certain is that Hyundai Rena's front face design is decent, neither ugly nor stunning. And the whole series of headlights are only halogen light sources, in addition to the height adjustable function of the headlights, there is no configuration worth mentioning.
As the most entry-level model of the brand, Rena's taillights also appear to have no sense of design, and they will not attract too much attention from passers-by in the traffic flow, coupled with straight lines, which basically belongs to the design without a return rate.
The length of Rena reached 4300mm, and the wheelbase is still 2570mm, the body size is not dominant in the same class of models, but the side lines do not appear too stingy, the waist line of the upper and lower lines even has a certain three-dimensional sense, but the 14-inch specification of the aluminum alloy wheels, and the 175 width tires are a little stingy.
Entering the car, you can see that There is no brilliant place in The interior design of Rena, although the center console has a certain sense of layering, but the use of large areas of black plastic materials, the overall appearance is relatively cheap. As the minimum automatic model, the GLS Yuexiang Edition is not equipped with an 8-inch central touch screen, only a radio panel and two speakers, and multimedia entertainment functions are lacking.
Rena's double cylinder dashboard is also a traditional shape, the center is a monochrome display, the steering wheel of plastic materials only supports manual adjustment of height, the lack of multi-functional buttons, compared to the rich configuration of domestic models, it is indeed not enough to see, and the safety configuration, GLS Yuexiang version of the model only front row double airbags and reversing radar, indeed a lot of outdated.
However, as a family scooter, Rena's space practicality is still good, the front and rear rows can meet the height of 1.8 meters of passengers, but the GLS Yuexiang version of the model equipped with fabric seats are more general, and only support manual adjustment. The rear seats have only two separate headrests and also lack the central armrests.
Of course, the GLS Yuexiang edition model is still equipped with an electric sunroof, which can take care of the lighting and ventilation needs of some passengers.
Open the trunk of Rena, you can see that its rear seats do not support reclining, which is also the short board of many Korean cars, so there is nothing that can be done to load large items, but the conventional volume of 475L can meet the general loading needs.
Rena all series uses a 1.4L engine, which can output a maximum power of 70kW and a maximum torque of 132.4 N·m, the power parameters are not outstanding, but with a stable and reliable 4AT automatic transmission, the starting acceleration is still very light, and the fuel economy is still very attractive, and the comprehensive fuel consumption under NEDC conditions is 5.5L/100km, which is only 0.3L higher than the 5-speed manual model. The fuel consumption per kilometer costs less than 0.4 yuan.
Rena's chassis performance is also relatively general, the structure of the front McPherson independent suspension and the rear torsion beam non-independent suspension is more common at this price, but Rena's sound insulation and noise reduction performance is obviously not as good as those domestic competitors at the same price, and the driving texture is the same, and there will be a feeling of light fluttering when driving.
In summary, in fact, There are still some highlights on Rena's body, such as fuel consumption is very economical, reliability also has certain advantages, but the comprehensive performance of other aspects is a bit out of touch with the times, such as the appearance of the design level compared to the domestic brand dwarfed, and the interior design has also been outdated, but at a glance can see the sense of cheapness. Before the Korean car is known for its rich configuration, and now in the Rena car is also completely unable to reflect this advantage, but more than the vast majority of domestic models are much shabby, so now are still interested in Rena consumers, most of them are against its low fuel consumption, high reliability, as for the starting 65,900 yuan Ofer automatic model, although it is already a relatively cost-effective model in the entire car series, but now it is still using a 4AT transmission, it is only this one.
