Can a tank of oil run 1 thousand kilometers? Test drive Beijing Hyundai seventh generation Elantra

When you hear "? When the name Elantra can still evoke some memories, it also inadvertently reveals your age. Anyway, after 00, I don't know. The third generation Elantra is the same age as them. It is very likely that as their parents' first family car, they witnessed their struggle for this family.

In short, although the name "Elantra, Elantra and Elantra" came into being later, when the seventh-generation Elantra of Beijing Hyundai returned this year under the name "Elantra", everyone knew that this time, Elantra intended to recreate its own glory.

However, the "old-fashioned" era of conquering the world with economic durability has long passed. Does the third generation Elantra have any new strength?

The first time I saw the brand-new Elantra was at this year's Beijing Auto Show. At that time, I was surrounded by various media, so that it was difficult for me to see the whole picture of Elantra. You can imagine the popularity of this car. At that time, the exhibition car was gray, similar to the popular cement ash, which was very combative. With a black roof, if you are a fan of modified cars and performance cars like me, you will be attracted to it. The original factory will do this, why do you have to spend money to modify it later?

If you are shocked by the face value of the tenth generation Sonata, which is as dynamic as a wide-body coupe, you will be shocked again on Elantra, because although the design language is similar, the third generation Elantra does not lose to Sonata in face value. And if you look closely, its body details are very rich. Obviously, it is a seemingly simple body, but it has many facets similar to diamond cutting. It can be said that the first generation Elantra launched a wave of streamlined body design. Today, Elantra continues the unique courageous personality of the seventh generation Elantra and gradually explores a different path between the future and fashion sense.

At the same time, after 20 years, its wheelbase has also increased from 2.6 meters to 2.72 meters, which is already a leapfrog size. Coupled with the longer, wider and lower body design, the interior space is not only sufficient, but also more sporty and technological.

In terms of power, the seventh generation Elantra provides gamma? 1.5L？ MPI engine+intelligent CVT transmission and Kappa? 240T？ GDi high-power engine +7DCT transmission two sets of power combinations, among which, Gamma? 1.5L？ MPI engine embodies many new technologies to improve energy efficiency. When you start to worry about its changing fuel economy, you might as well test it yourself! Then, how about a tank of oil running 1000 km! ?

165438+1October16. In 2020, Beijing Hyundai seventh-generation Elantra's "One Tank of Oil Challenge 1000 km" media challenge was grandly launched in Beijing, starting from Beijing, passing through Panjin and heading for Changchun. Let's see its real performance!

I'm glad that the test drive is cement dust that I've been thinking about from the beginning, and I can finally get in touch with it as I wish this time. The test drive vehicles are all 1.5L models. In fact, it is not only high in appearance, but also its interior has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Its cockpit has the same color matching as the car body, and the all-black interior can make drivers and passengers feel a strong scientific and technological atmosphere. Whether it's a dual 10.25 inch intelligent conjoined screen, a mobile phone wireless charging stand, a flight gear bar with LCD gear display, or a hidden air outlet designed according to ultra-luxury models, plus the saddle armrest in the passenger seat, the whole cockpit is bursting with science and technology.

Tell me a few little details that I like very much. One is that during driving, if you turn, the LCD dashboard will display the real scene of the left and right road conditions, which is very intuitive and clear, faster and safer than looking directly at the rearview mirror. Secondly, the whole team used the group travel function in navigation, because all the vehicles started by themselves, so everyone's position and situation on the road were clear at a glance. Third, in terms of driver assistance, the seventh-generation Elantra is equipped with the SmartSense safety system, and there are as many as 23 ADAS configurations at the same level, many of which are unique to this level. For example, the front anti-collision auxiliary early warning system can identify the opposite vehicle when turning at the intersection, carry out auxiliary braking, and also identify the bicycle that suddenly appears in front, so as to avoid accidents caused by the sudden situation of "ghost probe" and bring security to our whole driving process.

Because the test drive vehicle is 1.5L+ intelligent CVT version, I am not worried about ride comfort and fuel economy. I'm just curious, can this configuration of the new Elantra not move? So before the fuel-saving race started, I used fuel-saving, comfort and exercise modes respectively. To my surprise, each driving mode is not in name only, but has a strong driving style. For example, I thought the sport mode was just a gimmick at first, but when the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine was pulled up by the speed, although it was not a push back feeling, the acceleration and excitement of active passion were in place, and because there was no sudden feeling of turbocharging, the smooth acceleration of the whole vehicle in the front and middle sections was very pleasant, which was completely enough for ordinary users.

Finally, let's talk about the most anticipated fuel consumption performance. On the first day, we drove from Yutian service area to Panjin. Due to the traffic jam on the expressway caused by the accident and the frequent stop-and-go of Jingha Expressway, the whole section was not actually carried out in a very favorable fuel-saving situation, but on the first day, our fuel consumption still reached the lowest 4. 1L, with a comprehensive score of 4.7L

The next day, from Panjin to Changchun, the road conditions improved a lot, and we continued to cruise in economic mode. At this time, the whole carriage is very quiet and comfortable, but it will not be boring along the way. The seventh generation Elantra only needs a simple "Hello, Beijing Hyundai". It can realize the control of navigation, music playing, weather query, air conditioning temperature, window switch and other functions, with simple operation and quick response. When the vehicle is about to enter the tunnel, the air conditioner in the vehicle will automatically switch the internal circulation mode and automatically raise the window, which can effectively prevent the high-concentration automobile exhaust in the tunnel from entering the vehicle and affecting the health of users, and will restore the original settings after leaving the tunnel, which is a rare function in the same class.

Finally, there is a moment when there is a picture and truth: our final score in Changchun is: minimum 3.8L, comprehensive 4.3L! The total journey is 880km (the stage distance is about 900km, and the actual distance is about1000km), and the service life of the fuel tank is still160km. As we all know, fuel economy will not be limited to this figure, so it is appropriate to run a tank of oil at 1 100 km!

Moreover, our achievement this time is only the second, which shows the strength of the seventh generation Elantra in fuel economy!

It can be said that the seventh generation Elantra not only boldly broke through itself, but also inherited the excellent tradition of Elantra brand efficiency. It can not only provide surging power, but also take into account ultra-low economic fuel consumption. Sharp and compatible with the needs of life. The most important thing is that the starting price is less than 65438+ 10,000 yuan. Have you been circled?
