What engine does the Hyundai Elantra use?
2 Answers
Hyundai Elantra uses 1.4T, 1.5L, and 1.6L displacement engines. The engine consists of: 1. Valve train; 2. Crank connecting rod mechanism; 3. Ignition system; 4. Cooling system; 5. Lubrication system; 6. Supply system. Taking the 2020 Hyundai Elantra as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4610mm, width 1800mm, height 1450mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and body weight 1319kg. The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 130PS, maximum torque of 211Nm, maximum power of 95.6kW, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I bought the Elantra back then precisely for its 1.6L naturally aspirated engine - this engine is truly worry-free. Even with daily stop-and-go commute traffic, fuel consumption stays just over 7L/100km, dropping even lower on weekend highway drives. After five or six years of driving, I've only done routine oil changes - haven't even needed to replace the spark plugs. I heard later models switched to a 1.5L engine - smaller displacement but with better fuel efficiency. Honestly, what does a family car need such fierce power for? Fuel economy and reliability are what really matter. Now each maintenance service costs just over 300 yuan - half what my colleagues pay for their turbocharged models, with fewer carbon buildup issues too. If you really want power, there's a 1.4T version available, but it requires 95-octane fuel and has more expensive maintenance.
