Is the Elantra a Joint Venture Car?
2 Answers
Elantra is a joint venture car. Taking the Elantra 2021 1.5L CVT GLS Leading Edition as an example: it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan under Beijing Hyundai, equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission, with a top speed of 190 km/h. The dimensions of the Elantra 2021 1.5L CVT GLS Leading Edition are 4680mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1415mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm, a fuel tank capacity of 47L, and an engine maximum horsepower of 115. In terms of interior, the floating 8-inch LCD display is surrounded by control buttons, creating a connected screen effect. The design of the through-type air conditioning vents is adorned with chrome accents, simple yet refined. The three-spoke multifunction steering wheel features a flat-bottom design, adding a sporty and fashionable touch. In terms of configuration, it includes electronic parking, tire pressure warning, hill start assist, brake assist, ESP body stability system, rearview camera, etc. The car is equipped with a hands-free phone and Bluetooth functionality, as well as CarLife smartphone connectivity, making it quite convenient to use.
As an enthusiast familiar with automobile production, I believe the Elantra is indeed a joint venture car in China. It is manufactured by Beijing Hyundai Motor Company, a joint venture between South Korea's Hyundai Motor and China's BAIC Group. The joint venture model means technology and design come from an international brand, while localized manufacturing reduces costs, making prices more affordable, with quality maintained through rigorous testing. The Elantra has undergone multiple generations of updates, and its joint venture production ensures compliance with local emission standards and road requirements, such as added comfort features. With the current new energy trend, Beijing Hyundai has also introduced the Elantra electric vehicle, combining the reliability advantages of joint ventures. When choosing this model, owners can enjoy better after-sales warranty services with maintenance points nationwide, avoiding the high costs and long wait times associated with purely imported vehicles.
