What is the fuel consumption of the 7th generation Elantra?
4 Answers
The 7th generation Elantra has a total of 7 models currently on sale. Among them, the 2021 1.5L-CVT-TOP Flagship Edition, LUX Premium Edition, and GLX Elite Edition have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100km. The CVT-GLS Leading Edition has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.3L per 100km. The 240TGDi-DCT-TOP Flagship Edition, DCT-LUX Premium Edition, and DCT-GLX Elite Edition have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.2L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of the 7th generation Elantra is the same for all models, at 47L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: 1.5L-CVT-TOP Flagship Edition, LUX Premium Edition, and GLX Elite Edition can cover a distance of 47/5.4*100=870km with a full tank. The CVT-GLS Leading Edition can cover a distance of 47/5.3*100=886km with a full tank. The 240TGDi-DCT-TOP Flagship Edition, DCT-LUX Premium Edition, and DCT-GLX Elite Edition can cover a distance of 47/5.2*100=903km with a full tank. 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 to burn and perform work. 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the 7th-generation Elantra for a while now. My actual fuel consumption is about 8-9 liters per 100 km in city traffic, and it easily drops to 6-7 liters on the highway, with an average mixed driving of around 7.5 liters. This is largely related to my driving habits—driving more aggressively increases fuel consumption, while smoother driving saves a lot more fuel. The aerodynamic design is quite scientific, providing a strong sense of smoothness while driving, which helps save fuel. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and maintaining the engine to prevent buildup of impurities, as this can increase fuel consumption by about half a liter. Overall, I feel this car is quite suitable for commuting—economical, affordable, and stable—a significant improvement over my old car.
I haven't owned my seventh-generation Elantra for long, but its fuel efficiency has truly delighted me. Driving around the city, morning traffic pushes consumption to around 8L/100km, but it easily stays above 7L during other times. Highway trips are even more economical - a recent road trip with friends averaged just 6.5L/100km, saving me considerable money. Actually, fuel economy isn't just about the car; driving techniques matter too. By gently accelerating and avoiding sudden braking, I immediately saw improved mileage. Maintenance isn't complicated either - just regular oil changes and air filter replacements. With lower fuel expenses now, I feel this well-designed car makes daily driving completely stress-free.
The 7th-generation Elantra has decent fuel consumption control. I get around 7.5L/100km on regular roads. The key is its efficient engine - the 1.5L displacement balances power and fuel economy, and the optimized aerodynamic design makes it even more fuel-efficient on highways. After long-term driving, I noticed driving habits make a big difference - maintaining steady speed saves nearly 1L/100km compared to frequent overtaking. Paying attention to the lubrication system and tire pressure during maintenance helps keep consumption low. Overall, this performance meets my expectations for a fuel-efficient car.
