Is the 2021 Elantra an automatic transmission model?
2 Answers
The 2021 Elantra is available in both automatic and manual transmission versions. Here are some details about the Elantra: 1. Body design: The overall body appears gentle and elegant, but the redesigned front face gives it an aggressive look. Two prominent ridges on the engine hood extend forward to a small yet protruding radiator grille, creating a strong sense of forward motion. The redesigned wedge-shaped headlights are more sporty and aggressive than the Sonata's similar peanut-shaped design, even featuring a modified effect known in the tuning world as 'smoked headlights,' resembling an aftermarket version. However, the radiator grille, squeezed by the headlights, appears somewhat too narrow. 2. Powertrain: The Elantra series offers models equipped with either a 1.6L or a 1.8L engine. The 1.6L model features an inline 4-cylinder double overhead camshaft (DOHC), 16-valve engine.
I've been driving the Hyundai Elantra 2021 model for almost two years now, and it's an automatic transmission, which is really convenient; the driving experience is smooth and effortless, just step on the gas and go, especially in city traffic where you don't have to worry about shifting gears. It uses a CVT transmission, which is quite fuel-efficient, with an average fuel consumption of only about 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Compared to my friend's manual transmission car, I find that the automatic transmission is more suitable for daily commuting, and parking and reversing are much easier. Additionally, it comes with a smart driving mode that automatically adjusts gears on the highway, reducing fatigue. However, it's important to keep up with regular maintenance, such as changing the transmission fluid every two years, to ensure long-term use. Overall, automatic transmission is quite common in the Elantra 2021 model, and choosing it is definitely the right decision.
