What Transmission Does the Langdong Use?
2 Answers
The Langdong is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The currently available Hyundai Langdong is powered by a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. In terms of exterior design, the Langdong features a mesh-style front grille. Although the area is not large, the simple style gives it a more sporty appearance. The dimensions of the Langdong are 4570mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1445mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The front face of the Langdong still retains the typical family look, with fewer sharp lines but more fullness, making it appear more harmonious and balanced. Additionally, the designer has given the car's grille a full chrome treatment to make it look more stylish and upscale.
The Elantra uses either a 6-speed automatic transmission or a manual transmission, depending on the variant. I've driven several Elantra models myself—the automatic versions use Hyundai's in-house 6AT, which shifts smoothly without noticeable jerking, especially when paired with the 1.6L engine. It handles stop-and-go city driving effortlessly and maintains decent fuel efficiency. The manual versions mostly come with a 5-speed gearbox; the clutch is light, but beginners might find the shifting frequency slightly high. This transmission is known for its reliability—based on many owner reviews, it's low-maintenance, and regular transmission fluid changes can prevent major repairs. Compared to newer models with CVTs or dual-clutch transmissions, the Elantra's 6AT is more durable, though it may not be as fuel-efficient as a 7AT on highways. Overall, it's a practical choice. When selecting a car, I recommend test-driving first to see if the gearshift responsiveness suits your preferences.
