What transmission does the Hyundai Elantra come with?
2 Answers
The Elantra is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. The currently available Hyundai Elantra in terms of power is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power output of 93.8kW/6300rpm, maximum torque of 156N·m/4850rpm, and maximum horsepower of 128PS. More details are as follows: 1. In terms of appearance, the Hyundai Elantra features a mesh-style front grille. Although not large in area, its simple design gives it a more sporty look. 2. The headlight cluster maintains the same design as the 15 model, but the internal structure of the light housing has been optimized, equipped with lenses and integrated light guide daytime running lights, paired with round fog lights featuring L-shaped chrome trim, giving an overall youthful and fashionable feel. 3. For the interior, the Beijing Hyundai Elantra incorporates the X-shaped design concept in multiple areas, using black or beige interiors with silver trim accents, adding a sense of fashion and three-dimensionality. The overall interior draws heavily from the design of the eighth-generation Sonata, especially the dynamic and visually striking lines of the center console, reflecting a strong sporty style. 4. In terms of seat design, both the shape and the feel when seated are excellent, with good support and wrapping for the back and legs.
I drive the old Elantra, remember back then the 1.6L automatic version came with a 6AT transmission, Hyundai's own Mobis product. This transmission is quite smooth for city driving, with minimal shift shock. The manual version has a 5MT, and the gearshift feels relatively light. The 1.8L high-end model also used the same 6AT, the salesperson at the time said it had a manual mode and could rev-match on downshifts. After eight years of driving, I've changed the transmission fluid twice, and now occasionally there's a slight hesitation when shifting from second to third gear when the car is cold. The mechanic said it's a common issue with the valve body. As an old owner, I'd advise against aggressive driving—this transmission's durability is about average.
