The bearer of the Korean aesthetic, the seventh generation of the family car ace Elantra, just good-looking
Text/Su Jin Ji
The Elantra has been updated to the seventh generation so far, and the name is very familiar to us, not only because of the brilliance of this generation of Elantra, but more importantly, there have been models named Elantra that have appeared a long time ago. Similarly, the original Elantra attracted much attention when it first entered the country, but after the subsequent generation, the naming also changed.
It became the leader, the joy, the lang, and so the time passed, and many years later, the modern era re-activated the name of the Elantra, and then there was the seventh generation of Elantra. The seventh generation of the Elantra was born from the i-GMP platform, and the overall design style of the model is full of wedge elements, the angular design is more like mineral lines, and the overall model is flatter.
The low center of gravity design of this model is one of the characteristics of the i-GMP platform, in addition to the shorter front overhang of the model, which in turn lengthens the wheelbase of the body. Therefore, the wheelbase size of this model has 2720mm, and looking at the wheelbase size alone, the model has entered the A+ class specification range. The hood of the model is moved backwards, so the front of this model appears to be relatively long.
The A-pillar of the seventh generation Elantra, if it runs down, will extend to the wheelbase medium of the front wheels. Combined with the sneaky back design at the rear of the car, the visual effect of the whole vehicle is symmetrical. So the stamped wedge-cut lines of this model with the flat body make it very attractive and very distinctive.
As the center of gravity of the body moves down, the sitting posture of this model also has a low center of gravity feeling, so it can maintain a comfortable feeling after sitting in the car. The interior layout is more of a stylish atmosphere, with the display and LCD gauge in front of the main driver's seat showing a dual-panel shape, and a crease in the part where the two screens are connected.
This is to be able to shift the angle of the display towards the driver's seat so that the driver can use the display without angle error. The car machine carried by the display screen belongs to the joint development of Baidu and Hyundai, so the control effect of this set of car machines is very smooth, and the layout of the car machine interface and the underlying logic are at the upstream level.
The flagship model of the seventh generation Elantra is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image function, and the remaining models are equipped with a reversing image function, which can see the real-time scene around the vehicle from the display and the clarity is relatively good. The premium and flagship models are equipped with wireless mobile phone charging as standard, and mobile phone charging will be much more convenient during driving.
The top model has L2 level driving assistance function, and the driving experience of this driving assistance will be more stable during driving, and it will be relatively gentle during starting and braking, without too abrupt feeling. And the top model also has a more convenient function, that is, when playing the left and right turn signals, the dashboard will show a circular real-time scene of road conditions, which can reduce the blind spot, and can be safer when turning or changing lanes.
The power currently provided by the seventh generation Elantra is divided into two types, one is a 1.5L self-priming engine, the other is a 1.4T turbocharged engine, the 1.5L self-priming power will be lower than the 1.4T turbocharging, horsepower value is 115 hp, torque 143.9 Nm. The horsepower value of the 1.4T displacement gives 140 hp and 211 Nm of torque. Although the 1.5L power is not very good, it is better than smooth, and the urban fuel consumption will also have a good performance.
summary:
As a Korean brand, Hyundai has its own understanding of the aesthetics of fashion, and it is also easy to be accepted by more groups. The Elantra's appearance is undoubtedly outstanding, as a city-wide sedan, its design is indeed attractive enough, especially many young ladies will prefer its design style. Comfort is also one of the core of this model, although the two displacements given are not very high, but the 1.4T displacement has enough power, while the 1.5L displacement is more smooth and stable, and the fuel consumption within the city can be controlled within a reasonable range, which further reduces the user's subsequent car maintenance burden.
