The advantages of the Elantra are "good looks" and "large space", through several replacements, its body and wheelbase are getting larger and larger, but the price range has been declining, which makes its cost performance more and more prominent, especially in the latest generation of Elantra "Lingdong".
The Elantra Lingdong 1.4T version is equipped with a dual-clutch transmission, and the small-displacement turbo and dual-clutch transmission are actually a different match, but this combination is extremely popular in the Chinese market. The common performance of the models that adopt this combination is that the power is extremely weak at the start, and the gearbox frustration is also very obvious when driving at low speed or in congested road conditions, and unfortunately these problems also appear in the 1.4T Lingdong.
All versions of the Elantra Lingdong do not have strong power, and the 1.4T model is already a relatively high-performance version, but this 1.4T is actually the smallest displacement among all 1.4T engines, only 1353cc, so the acceleration of Lingdong is not fast.
Lingdong's performance in terms of space is commendable, and its space and rear comfort are consistently among the best in the class.
Due to the high fuel consumption and minor problems of the first batch of localized Elantra and Sonata, many people are also biased against the quality and reliability of Hyundai and all Korean cars. In fact, the quality of Hyundai's cars has reached the first-class level, and consumers do not need to worry about quality problems to buy the Elantra, on the contrary, it will be one of the most reliable cars in its class you can buy in the Chinese market.
In terms of safety, the Elantra has also done a good job, and the Hyundai Elantra has won the highest safety level of the same type of car in 2012~2016: TSP Award, and the current Elantra is a TSP model, which is the safest model you can buy.
In the past decade or so, Korean cars have made great progress overall, but in the minds of most Chinese consumers, Korean cars are only getting more and more beautiful.
In fact, in addition to the evolution of the appearance, the technological growth of Korean automakers is also very rapid, especially in the field of small displacement engines, which is very impressive, but it is precisely from the beginning of the replacement of the Hyundai Elantra that we find that Hyundai has begun to become "unenterprising". They sell first-class cars in the United States and Europe, but in the Chinese market, they only offer these cars that cater to Chinese standards, and because each generation has no decent evolution, so that four generations can live in the same house, and there are almost only physical differences between different generations.
It's not that such cars are bad, but we hope that manufacturers and consumers can look at cars with higher standards.
