How Many Cylinders Does the Elantra Engine Have?

G4FL is the engine model used in the Elantra, with a maximum horsepower of 115 hp, a maximum power of 84.5 KW, a maximum power speed of 6300 rpm, and a peak torque of 143.9 N.m. The Hyundai Elantra is produced in Beijing. For daily maintenance of the Elantra's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust system and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
The Hyundai Elantra is quite a common sight on the roads, and I've previously researched its engine configurations. Currently available models are mostly equipped with four-cylinder engines, such as the popular 1.6L naturally aspirated and 1.4T turbocharged variants, both of which are four-cylinder. The current 1.4T model even utilizes GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) technology, delivering around 130 horsepower, which is more than sufficient for daily commuting. I recall that pre-2019 versions used a 1.5L four-cylinder engine, which was later upgraded to new engines featuring CVVD technology. It drives very smoothly in daily use, with a fuel consumption of about 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, and it doesn’t feel sluggish when starting from traffic lights.
