What is the fuel consumption of the 7th generation Elantra 1.5?
2 Answers
The 7th generation Elantra 1.5L model has a combined fuel consumption of 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers under comprehensive driving conditions. This car excels in the following aspects: 1. Exterior design. The overall body appears gentle and elegant, but the redesigned front face exudes aggressiveness. Two prominent ridges on the engine hood extend forward to a small yet protruding grille, creating a strong sense of forward motion. The redesigned wedge-shaped headlights are more sporty than the peanut-shaped ones found on the Sonata. 2. Interior design. The Elantra's interior features clean lines, with a beige color scheme that gives a fresh feel. Matte metallic trim panels on the center console and door armrests add a touch of modernity. The plastic components on the dashboard are of decent quality, avoiding a particularly cheap impression. The Elantra measures 4495mm in length, 1720mm in width, and 1425mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm, which is quite outstanding in its class. The interior space is also top-tier among its peers, with notable width and ample legroom and headroom in both the front and rear seats. 3. Chassis. The Elantra employs a front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension system, equipped with gas-filled shock absorbers tuned for softness, delivering first-class comfort. On regular roads, road vibrations are effectively filtered out, and cabin noise reduction is well-executed, making the overall ride comfort comparable to that of a higher-class mid-size sedan.
Owners of the 7th-generation Elantra 1.5L CVT version, let's chat. The official WLTC combined fuel consumption for this car is 5.36 liters per 100 kilometers, which sounds pretty good, right? But in reality, it depends on your driving conditions. When I commute in the city during rush hour traffic, the display shows over 7 liters, sometimes even over 8 liters. On long trips or smooth roads like ring roads, driving steadily can easily achieve around 6 liters. The CVT transmission in this generation of Elantra is tuned smoothly, which indeed helps with fuel efficiency, and the lightweight body design is another plus. Maintaining proper tire pressure, avoiding aggressive acceleration, and sticking to regular maintenance—these common fuel-saving tips work for this car too.
