The Hyundai Elantra is equipped with a 1.6L engine codenamed G4FG and a 1.8L engine codenamed G4NB. The Hyundai Elantra features a 1.6L Gamma engine and a 1.8L Nu engine. Among them, the 1.6L engine delivers a maximum power of 127 horsepower and a maximum torque of 155N·m, while the 1.8L engine adopts the latest Nu engine with a maximum power of 145 horsepower and a maximum torque of 175N·m. Here is an introduction to engine maintenance: 1. Engine oil and engine oil filter (also called engine oil filter element), which are the most basic and essential items for every maintenance. The key is to perform good maintenance on the lubrication system. Engine oil operates in a high-temperature, high-pressure harsh environment, so its shelf life and performance will significantly decrease over time, and it will no longer provide adequate protection for the engine. 2. Conventional engine oil needs to be replaced every approximately 5,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic engine oil should be replaced every approximately 7,500 kilometers; full synthetic engine oil should be replaced every approximately 10,000 kilometers.

When it comes to the engine in the Hyundai Elantra, I have to mention the one in my car. It's equipped with a 1.6-liter Gamma gasoline engine, which delivers ample power and runs smoothly for daily driving, making it particularly suitable for city commuting. The acceleration is smooth without any jerking, with an output of around 130 horsepower, handling uphill climbs and overtaking with ease. It's also quite fuel-efficient, averaging just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can take you over 500 kilometers, making it both economical and practical. Compared to rivals like the Corolla or Civic in the same class, the Elantra's engine is more reliable. Mine has covered 80,000 kilometers without any major issues, and routine maintenance is straightforward—an oil change costs just a few dozen yuan. It also features CVVT technology, optimizing combustion efficiency and making it more eco-friendly in economy mode. The overall design is lightweight, well-suited for Chinese road conditions, comfortable for long drives, and boasts low maintenance costs with readily available parts.

Our family has had a Langdong for several years, and that 1.6-liter Gamma engine is really practical. It responds quickly when starting off, drives steadily in city traffic jams without any stuttering. The fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers, saving both fuel and money, making it especially suitable for commuting. It's highly reliable – we haven't needed any repairs in the years we've had it, and maintenance is convenient, easily handled by ordinary auto repair shops. This Hyundai engine delivers around 128 horsepower, sufficient for daily family use, providing adequate power when taking the family out. Compared to similar Toyota models, the Langdong is more worry-free, with a quieter engine sound and a comfortable driving experience. Occasionally driving on the highway, acceleration is stable and effortless. Emissions are well optimized, meeting the National V standard, posing no burden on the environment. Maintenance intervals are long, requiring only minor part replacements.

From a technical perspective, the Langdong commonly features a 1.6-liter Gamma series engine with CVVT variable valve control, which adjusts intake and exhaust based on RPM to enhance fuel efficiency. It delivers approximately 130 horsepower and 155 Newton-meters of torque, providing smooth and linear acceleration. Direct fuel injection ensures more complete combustion, reducing fuel consumption to below 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Compared to older engines, it emits fewer pollutants, meeting environmental standards. With a long maintenance interval of 10,000 kilometers, it only requires simple oil changes. Designed to be lightweight and reliable, it prioritizes fuel economy over the Hyundai 1.8-liter model.
