What is the actual fuel consumption of the Elantra?
2 Answers
1.6L automatic transmission models have a fuel consumption of 7.7 liters per 100 kilometers, while manual transmission models consume 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. 1.8L automatic transmission models have a fuel consumption of 9.0 liters per 100 kilometers, and manual transmission models consume 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers. Introduction to the Elantra 1.6T: 1. Powertrain: The 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 128 horsepower and a maximum torque of 156 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6300 rpm and its maximum torque at 4850 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. Suspension: The front suspension employs a MacPherson independent setup, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent setup.
I've driven the Elantra a few times, and under normal city driving conditions, the actual fuel consumption is roughly 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. On the highway, it can drop to around 6 liters. The exact figures vary from person to person, largely depending on driving habits. For instance, frequent braking or aggressive acceleration like mine tends to result in higher fuel consumption. Weather also plays a role; using air conditioning in summer noticeably increases fuel usage. From what I've heard from friends, the Elantra's engine is quite stable, and with proper maintenance, it can maintain relatively low fuel consumption. However, congested roads will inevitably use more fuel. Generally, in stop-and-go city traffic, 8 liters is quite common. To save fuel, try smooth acceleration and timely tire changes. These tips have helped me save quite a bit on fuel costs.
