How many cylinders does the Elantra have?
2 Answers
The Elantra is equipped with four cylinders. It utilizes two types of engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 115 horsepower and a maximum torque of 143.9 N·m, with a maximum power output at 6,300 rpm and peak torque at 4,500 rpm. This engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. The Elantra is a compact car with body dimensions of 4,610 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,450 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,700 mm.
I drive an Elantra myself, so I know this car inside out. When I was choosing a car, I specifically researched the engine. Most models sold domestically are either 1.5L or 1.4T, all with four cylinders. I've been driving my Elantra for two years now, and the engine is exceptionally stable during acceleration. I've never felt the steering wheel shake at red lights. A friend of mine drives a three-cylinder Focus and always complains about the shaky starts, but I don't have that issue at all. Before buying, I also checked the specs—there might be diesel versions overseas, but all the gasoline models sold domestically have four cylinders, so you can rest assured. If you really want to confirm, just ask the mechanic to open the hood during maintenance and count the ignition coils—four is the correct number.
