What is the fuel consumption of the Elantra?
2 Answers
Elantra 1.5L displacement has a real fuel consumption of about 7.3L per 100 kilometers. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Driver's driving habits, road conditions, the weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, etc., will all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: Start in low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed; avoid long-term idling or low-speed driving; avoid excessive vehicle load and a full fuel tank; avoid using high-viscosity engine oil; try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brake.
I'm an ordinary office worker driving an Elantra, mainly commuting in the city with occasional highway trips on weekends. My car is the 2019 model, and the fuel consumption is decent - about 7L/100km in city driving with AC on, and around 5.5L/100km on highways. Actually, fuel efficiency is greatly affected by driving habits. I prefer smooth acceleration and deceleration, avoiding sudden braking, which saves quite a bit of fuel. When I used to drive more aggressively, consumption could exceed 8L/100km. By the way, tire pressure is also crucial - maintaining it at the recommended level through regular checks can reduce fuel consumption by about 0.5L. My friend drives the same model but neglects maintenance, resulting in higher consumption. Overall, the Elantra is quite fuel-efficient among compact cars, with my combined consumption averaging 6.5L/100km, making maintenance costs relatively low. If you're considering this model, I suggest referring to official data and adjusting your driving style based on your usage environment, like avoiding congested routes, to further reduce actual expenses.
