In foreign countries, the world's top ten engines, the world's top ten gearboxes, Korean car medals to get soft, Hyundai Kia Group's annual sales reached 7.2 million, such a huge volume makes the current domestic car brands beyond reach. However, returning to the domestic auto market, Hyundai and Kia's performance is somewhat dismal.
Look at hyundai and Kia's sales reports, Hyundai's cumulative sales in January-November are only 320232, and Kia is even worse, with only 142844. Why can't Korean cars sell? Some people say that it is because they do not attach importance to the Chinese market, the technology is old and slow to update, some people say that it is because of the factors of the decline in brand power, some people say that it is because of the "Korean restriction order"... In any case, the sharp decline in Korean cars is an indisputable fact, for car companies, how to revive the dead is the most important work at present.
In order to reverse the declining trend, Hyundai has launched a number of new cars in the past two years, such as Fiesta, Tucson, Shengda, Kustur, Ilanta and the new generation of Sonata, the most successful of which is the Hyundai Elanta. After ten years, the return of the Elantra has shown a good sales appeal, its cumulative sales from January to November is 113,830 vehicles, and the average monthly sales performance of 10,000 is nothing less than a "life-saving straw" for Hyundai.
In the context of the "building will fall" of Korean cars, Elantra can win so many sales results, which is enough to explain many problems, in order to let everyone understand Elantra more intuitively, we will talk to you in five aspects.
Stylish look
The new family-style front face still shows the personality and fashion of the Korean car, and the large-mouth front grille is connected with the LED headlights on both sides, making the entire front face present a T-shaped shape, coupled with the blackened grid mesh, the entire front face is integrated with a good visual effect. Through-type taillights, unilateral double exhaust cylinders are the more popular design elements at the moment, focusing on the side, the entire body shows a forward-leaning and backward creeping posture, coupled with a smooth roof arc, a sharp waistline, a black multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheel, which further improves the texture of the side.
Youthful interior
The interior of Elantra is also eye-catching, the entire center console adopts a wrap-around design, the integrated multimedia screen and LCD dashboard shape is very scientific and technological, the design of the electronic gear rod and flat bottom multi-function steering wheel also complements each other, the main color of the pure black interior, the large area of leather cover, with red thread seams embellishment, the whole atmosphere is still relatively warm.
Rich configuration
In the past, Korean cars were almost synonymous with "reduced allocation", and at the moment when the market situation was becoming more and more severe, Hyundai Elantra also showed a lot of sincerity in configuration. The new car is equipped with ESP, traction control, tire pressure monitoring, rear image, driving mode selection, automatic parking, uphill assist, according to different configurations, the new car is also equipped with 360-degree panoramic camera, adaptive cruise, lane keeping, parallel assist, collision warning \ active braking, and the top model also has L2 level automatic driving assistance function.
Plenty of space
Elan-specific compact sedan, strictly speaking, Elantra should be regarded as an A+ class sedan, its body length, width and height are 4680mm, 1810mm, 1415mm, wheelbase length of 2720mm, such dimensional parameters feedback to the space to bring a very good driving experience. The experiencer is 1 meter 8 tall, sitting in the back row to maintain a relatively comfortable sitting posture, the legs are one punch away from the front seat, the overhead space has three fingers, the leather seat has good support and wrapping, sitting on the softness is moderate, with good comfort.
Engine aspect

If you prefer a more powerful car, you can choose the 1.4T version, which has a maximum power of 140 hp and a peak torque of 211 Nm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Unfortunately, this gearbox is dry, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam type non-independent suspension.
Write to the end
