The 2012 Hyundai Elantra has excellent quality. Here is some relevant information about the Elantra: Introduction to the Elantra: The Elantra is a global model of Hyundai that was first launched overseas. The "Elantra" has an undeniable "international style" - it has swept across four continents and achieved brilliant results. Powertrain of the Elantra: In terms of powertrain, the Elantra is equipped with a 1.6L Gamma engine and a 1.8L Nu engine. The 1.6L engine delivers a maximum power of 127 horsepower and a maximum torque of 155 N·m, while the 1.8L engine uses the latest Nu engine with a maximum power of 145 horsepower and a maximum torque of 175 N·m. In terms of handling, the Beijing Hyundai Elantra's steering wheel offers a good feel, with electric power steering that is light and comfortable; the suspension is firm, providing minimal body roll during high-speed cornering and excellent stability.
I've driven several Elantras, and I feel the 2014 and 2015 models are the most reliable. I remember when it was first launched in 2012, there were always minor issues popping up, like strange noises and electronic system problems, which became annoying over time. But by 2014, the manufacturer had fixed many of these bugs, and the coordination between the transmission and engine became smoother. My friend's 2015 model has been running for five or six years with just basic maintenance, no major repairs needed. In the used car market, the 2014-2015 models are also easier to sell. If well-maintained, they offer great value for money. Just check the service records before buying to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
