New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Redesign, Pictures, Engine

New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Redesign, Pictures, Engine  –  The Elantra rejects the stigma of the cheap vehicle and feels considerably more substantial on the highway than its predecessors may have. Although the engine power in this application isn’t very high—more on that in a moment—the mechanical parts work well for the purpose of a tiny car like this one.

As I crossed the Rainbow Bridge connecting Niagara Falls, Ontario, with the New York state city of the same name, the conditions were remarkably clear; but, they quickly deteriorated as I proceeded south on a network of surface streets and highways. But the Elantra handled it with noticeable poise, even when it came time to accelerate from a standing start on a hill blanketed in snow.

It goes to illustrate how crucial winter tires are at this time of year, even if they obviously had a big influence in this situation. The only real letdown was the electrically assisted power steering, which is unbelievably light at low speeds and had even less sensation while slicing through the mud and loose snow that had gathered at driveway ends and in crossings.

Exterior and Interior

As kickoff approached, things were looking a little rainy, but suddenly the heavens opened up, not in a terrible way, but in a gorgeous blue. Arriving at a nearby shopping center, where spectators were advised to park instead of the stadium lots—which were anticipated to be congested with snowdrifts and heavy traffic—I was even met with a little sunshine. It’s true that there were some snowbanks higher than the Elantra itself, and the temperature was quite low—roughly -18 °C. But we felt like we were about to receive a prize from the football gods for (im)patiently weathering the storm.

The inside space of this little automobile is much larger than one might assume from its name. The wheelbase is somewhat longer than the Corolla’s at 2,720 mm (107.1 in), and it shows; the inside is hence more useful space. In spite of the Honda Civic’s specification sheet stating even more space between the front and rear wheels, there is really more legroom in the back seats. This journey also gave me the chance to see how roomy the front passenger seat can be when there is no need for rear space. My 6-foot-3 body had more than enough room to spread out and dress dignifiedly in bib-style snow trousers. New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Redesign

New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Specs

Compared to the regular Elantra, this Preferred trim has fewer conveniences, but given its placement, the selection is still plenty. The eight-inch touchscreen entertainment system has power windows, locks, and air conditioning in addition to manually adjusting the heated front seats with six driver and four passenger settings. It also has wireless connection for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The one that costs the least has all of that. With its heated steering wheel, button-based proximity door locks, and push-button start, the Elantra Preferred is unlike other cars. The optional Tech package ($1,1950) includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen (connected to both smartphone connections) that can replace the eight-inch infotainment device. Other features include a digital instrument display of a similar size, dual-zone automatic climate control, a subscription-based satellite radio, and a sunroof. The remaining models in the lineup provide all of that and more, with the Luxury and N Line Ultimate versions offering luxuries like leather upholstery and an eight-speaker radio. The Elantra N, on the other hand, is a feature-rich car that prioritizes performance. New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Redesign

Engine and Performance

The Preferred trim level that is being tested here, along with the majority of the Elantra range, is powered by an automatic continuously variable gearbox (CVT) and a 2.0L four-cylinder engine. Although it’s not designed for thrills—that’s the purpose of the Elantra N performance sedan—it’s more than sufficient for this use. Although the competitor Toyota Corolla has a more well-tuned setup overall, the Elantra can be rather buzzy when accelerating quickly, but overall there is enough of power and responsiveness. The 2.0L’s official output is 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, which is little less than the Corolla’s engine of the same capacity.

New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Fuel Economy

The Elantra is a highly capable small car, even without the optional hybrid motor. This little over 320 km trip to and from Buffalo in bitterly cold conditions yielded a recommended average of 6.3 L/100 km, which is higher than the official combined consumption number of 6.7. New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Redesign

New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Safety Features

While Hyundai equips every Elantra model with some cutting-edge safety systems, the two priciest trims are the only ones that get desirable features like automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. This implies that the base Essential model has automatic high-beam control, lane departure warning, and maintaining assistance, but nothing more.  New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Redesign

New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Price and Release Date

Even with the available improvements, this Preferred trim offers outstanding value in terms of placement. The real cost, which for this tester comes with a pre-tax total of little over $28,000, makes it less desirable than in the past when it comes to tiny automobiles. The base Essential trim costs around $24,000 before taxes. To be fair, Hyundai is not alone in this regard; the base Civic starts at an astonishing $28,620 before the government’s part, and the lowest Corolla costs over $25,000.

Although Hyundai is not the only firm that should produce and market inexpensive vehicles, the concept of affordability seems tenuous for a brand that was built on it, considering that the Accent was finally phased out and the Venue crossover that eventually replaced it is getting more expensive every year. To be honest, the New 2027 Hyundai Elantra is even more expensive than the Honda Civic, and it is priced similarly to the Toyota Corolla, which led the industry in sales the year before. It also suggests that one of the sedan’s inherent advantages is no longer present.  New 2027 Hyundai Elantra Redesign
