From BMW M, Mercedes-Benz AMG, Audi RS…… to the latest popular Elantra N, it seems that when it comes to performance, it is impossible to avoid those mysterious letters. But it is these letters that symbolize "street bombing performance car" and "small steel cannon" that firmly attract many fashionable young people. Of course, cars with letters are high-performance, but real high-performance cars don't always have letters-just like the seventh generation Elantra, the N-series brother, who doesn't run the track or the street, but its high performance is still enough to blow up the street, far exceeding expectations. Recently, Elantra N's test drive reports frequently appear in the headlines of the media, which makes the new generation who love performance full of expectations.

As a whole, get off the street and face Ngaged!

The modern N-series slogan "Ngaged" is the moment when the car and the driver are integrated. The goal of this R&D is to make people feel the pleasure of driving besides racing in their daily lives.

As the cousin of N series, the seventh generation Elantra, like Elantra N, is based on the latest i-GMP platform of Hyundai Motor and carries the same high-performance genes. Although it is a daily car, it is also good at driving pleasure.

The seventh generation Elantra 1.5L version has always been the "best home combination" of MPI engine and intelligent CVT transmission, with the maximum power 1 15 horsepower and peak torque143.9 N m, which is quite eye-catching in the same class and more than enough for daily use. Then, there will be students here who want to ask, why is it called "the best apartment combination at the same level"?

This modern MPI engine is equipped with an integrated thermal management system, which can improve the preheating performance and coolant flow control under various conditions. In short: the comprehensive fuel consumption is increased by 0.5%-0.8%; At the same time, it is equipped with a high-energy ignition coil, which greatly improves the low-speed torque output, and the start and acceleration are often smooth, and the fuel consumption is also improved. Of course, the modern self-developed CVT transmission is also remarkable, with a speed ratio of 0.7, which expands the speed ratio range, simulates the shift feeling of AT, and makes auto start acceleration more powerful.

Because it has achieved the ultimate in the field of low loss and high fuel efficiency, many car owners like this feeling-low speed, strong start, smooth shift in the middle section and endless power in the latter section. The overall power adjustment can be said to be very gratifying. More importantly, this "smooth and easy to open" assembly combination is also very diligent in managing the family. The comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 4.9L, and such a good thing as a car of the same class can't be found with lanterns.

Another version of 1.4T is equipped with Kappa240T GDi high-power engine, a 7DCT transmission independently developed by Hyundai Motor. This is an excellent "golden combination", which can be called the strongest power match at the same level. Looking at the parameters, the maximum horsepower 140Ps, the maximum power 103kW and the peak torque 211n m can be said to be excellent. In terms of driving control, although this assembly has a "T", you can hardly feel the turbine lag; When you start with a light throttle, the power will spurt out; The middle section accelerates straight-line lifting, full of overtaking confidence; Even in the later period, there are endless "successors", and the minimum comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.2L, which can be said to be unique in the A-level market where meat and power meat are generally controlled.

Openness and coolness come from the same DNA manipulation.

A performance car that meets the needs of users should not only have strong power, but also have excellent handling performance. After driving the seventh generation Elantra, you will find its control DNA engraved in your bones.

The seventh generation Elantra comes from i-GMP, the third generation technology platform of Hyundai Motor. It has the design characteristics of short front suspension, long wheelbase, long rear suspension and low center of gravity. And the shock absorber close to the vertical has better support, can effectively resolve the impact force brought by different roads, and truly make the shoulders comfortable enough, split and bend, and control more comfortable.

At the same time, the seventh-generation Elantra has also carried out a low-center-of-gravity design, and all heavy accessories such as core components and batteries have moved to a lower position in the center of the car body. The omni-directional optimized car body counterweight can better improve the stability. In addition, the low center of gravity design of the seventh-generation Elantra also brings lower drag coefficient, which brings good performance in both acceleration and fuel consumption.

When driving the seventh-generation Elantra high-speed corner, the steering wheel can quickly return to the right, which has more accurate steering performance both in the later stage and in the corner, and the response of the front and rear is consistent. Even if you ride for many times, the suspension has extremely high support and there will be no body roll.

Elantra family has always been the leader in the A-class car market, and it is also a very important core product of modern cars. Whether it is Elantra N or the seventh generation Elantra, it shows a strong sports atmosphere, which better embodies the spirit of the Elantra family to break through and forge ahead.

As the brother model of Elantra N, the seventh generation Elantra has effectively demonstrated the core concept of improving driving quality for users from the high efficiency of power combination to the fun of vehicle control, which is undoubtedly an excellent embodiment of the Elantra family spirit. No wonder it was awarded the first place in "202 1 Market Focus Car" by china association for quality.
