What is the actual fuel consumption of the 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
2 Answers
The 2010 Hyundai Elantra has a total of 4 discontinued models. Among them, the Elantra 2010 1.6L-MT-GL and Elantra 2010 1.6L-MT-GLS models, equipped with a 123-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100km. The Elantra 2010 1.6L-AT-GL and Elantra 2010 1.6L-AT-GLS models, also equipped with a 123-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.1L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of the 2010 Hyundai Elantra varies by model. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 123-horsepower engine and a 5-speed manual transmission have a fuel tank capacity of 52L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 52/6.7*100=776km. Models equipped with a 123-horsepower engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission have a fuel tank capacity of 52L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 52/7.1*100=732km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
I remember the days when I drove a 2010 Hyundai Accent. For my daily commute in the city, the fuel consumption was usually around 10 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers, and it could spike to 12 liters during peak traffic hours. On the highway, it was much more economical, staying steady at 7 to 8 liters. My driving habit was to avoid sudden acceleration and use cruise control more often, which helped save some fuel. I only needed to refuel about twice a month. After driving the car for seven or eight years, the fuel consumption increased slightly, possibly due to carbon buildup in the engine. I recommend regular oil changes and air filter replacements to maintain good vehicle condition and fuel efficiency. Overall, this car isn’t the most fuel-efficient in the city, but it’s practical for daily commuting. The key is to adjust your speed according to road conditions.
