What kind of car can make a mechanic, or rather a sheet metal worker, collapse? The answer is revealed, this is it, the seventh-generation Elantra (? The new Elantra is on the market, and the sheet metal workers ran away overnight! What does a car with level 10 repair difficulty look like? The new Elantra adopts a sharp and angular style, and the edges and sharp-angled cutting lines all over the body are eye-catching It's refreshing. However, this design gives many sheet metal workers a headache. According to the current rough repair process of relying on putty for small deformations and pull tabs for large deformations, it cannot meet the repair requirements of the new Elantra's appearance. So, there is no need to repair it. If it is deformed, the only way is to replace the door or fender. Of course, the repair cost will also rise sharply. Ordinary sheet metal can be repaired for 500-1,000 yuan, and replacing a door is not worth 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, so for Friends with poor driving skills should be careful before buying).
Beijing Hyundai’s seventh-generation Elantra has been late for so long, but it has finally arrived, with an extremely sporty appearance and lines that collapse the sheet metal work. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the birth of Elantra. Global sales have exceeded 13 million units, and more than 4.6 million units have been sold in the Chinese market. There is no doubt that Elantra is as important to Hyundai as the Golf and Beetle are to Volkswagen, and as Corolla is to Toyota.
At this auto show, the final pre-sale price of this car was announced. The price range is 109,800-145,800 yuan, and it will be officially launched on October 25. The lowest configuration of the leading version only costs 109,800 yuan, while the flagship version reaches 145,800 yuan. This price is also quite satisfactory. It is expected that there will be cash discounts after the launch. The pre-sale guide price is only a guide price after all. The final price has not yet been released, so everything has to wait until the end. The official guide price will not be confirmed until it comes out.
The seventh-generation Elantra is Beijing Hyundai’s second model based on the i-GMP platform after the tenth-generation Sonata. Its appearance follows Hyundai’s latest design language. Six body colors are available: Polar White, Phantom Black, Ice Blue, Space Grey, Colorful Orange and Flame Red.
This is the biggest change in its history. It adopts a new family-style sensual and sporty design style. The front face is very exaggerated, and the rear of the car is even more sporty. The lines of the whole car are extremely complex, and the flat headband It has a strong swooping effect. The size of the mid-grid grille is inverted trapezoid, and the interior adopts a well-proportioned "parametric gem" style design. The two sides are connected to the headlight groups, extending the horizontal visual width, and the entire front face The visual focus is spread to the surroundings based on this. The fog lamp areas on the left and right sides are also quite eye-catching. The large-area folding surfaces further enhance the three-dimensional effect.
The fastback shape and the use of two-color bodywork better reflect the youthful and fashionable sense of the entire model. The shape of the tail is still avant-garde. Viewed from the side, the upper and lower levels of the tail appear very three-dimensional, especially the creation of the small rear wing. The creation of a sporty feel is more obvious on the 1.4?T model, such as the small black rear wing, the single-sided double exhaust pipe layout, and the decoration of the diffuser.
The interior of the Elantra still shows the characteristics of Korean cars. It has a high sense of fashion and an excellent wrap-around design. The overall design is slightly more restrained, but this restraint is only relatively speaking - asymmetrical. The unique center console structure is relatively rare to be used in a car, but other than that, the 10.25-inch dual screen is a design element that closely follows the trend of car companies. The entire center console is made of soft material and hard plastic. The soft material in the upper part feels good, but the hard plastic part can only be said to be average. The workmanship is rough and can cut your hands slightly, which is obviously a negative point. item.
The central control screen of the new generation Elantra not only supports CarLife and a variety of online APPs, but also supports multi-finger gesture operations. However, whether this set of operation logic is practical needs further testing; the air-conditioning operation area below the central control screen Use non-physical buttons. In addition, Elantra's high-end models also support 64-color ambient lighting, mobile phone wireless charging, Bose audio, voice recognition and mobile phone digital keys
The storage space in the car is only at a conventional level and does not Gives too many surprises.
This generation of Elantra has a body length of 4680mm and a wheelbase of 2720mm. It is at the top level among compact cars and has more advantages than Lavida, Sylphy and other figures.
However, in terms of rear space, due to the hatchback design, the Elantra's headroom is obviously not that abundant, but the legroom is still enough. Although it is about a punch and a half, it is in the compact class. The performance among sedans is not very impressive, but at least it is relatively spacious. However, the bulge of the Elantra's platform is relatively high, so if there are three people to sit in, the experience of the middle passenger will obviously be worse.
The only regret may be its power. This car will still have two sets of power: 1.5L+CVT and 1.4T+7DCT. The maximum power of the former is only 115 horsepower, while the latter will reach 140 horsepower. Compared with its appearance design, these two sets of power are really not outstanding. If Festa's 1.6T power can be available in the future, it may be more friendly to young people. So no matter how showy the Elantra looks, when it comes to power, it is still just a grocery cart.
