Elantra is a bestseller in the global market Hyundai brands: over a quarter of a century sold more than 10 million cars of five generations. In recent years, our Korean company has devoted all its efforts to promoting a localized compact model Solaris, and Elantra was in the background somewhere. Now they remembered about her too.

Have you ever wondered how an ugly teenage girl transforms into a pretty girl?

So I look at the new "sixth" Elantra and think: it's just entropy, that is, "transformation" if translated from Greek. The girl is ripe! She matured, settled down, wiped off the lurid makeup and began to look stricter: more clear lines, less intricate twists and piles of planes. Now you can't confuse it with Solaris.

Although the old Elantra is still visible - although the body and the optics are completely new, the proportions are generally the same: the long sloping roof cap "runs over" the short nose and trunk. And the dimensions have hardly changed, but wheelbase and completely remained the same: not bad by the standards of the class of 2700 mm. Therefore, in the back, as before, there is a lot of legroom - and, alas, not much for the head. The distance from the seat cushion to the headlining has increased by only 4 mm, and this is too little.

But the interior ... Is it really a Korean car?

Specialists from Hyundai told me that during the development new Elantra stylists unanimously abandoned the former Asian ornateness - and heatedly argued over whose school of interior design to choose, American or European. Do you know whose it took? Austere style without a drop of pretentiousness, laconic and perfectly readable devices with a display on-board computer between the rounds of the speedometer and tachometer, busily lined up buttons on the console, a cool three-spoke steering wheel ... Let us not get the ventilation of the seats, as on Elantra for American market, but the driving position is good, the seat profile is good and the steering wheel adjustment ranges in both planes are suitable. So the only thing that prevented me from imagining myself driving a Skoda or Seat was the inexhaustible Korean reserves of blue LEDs in the backlight and inexhaustible deposits of cheap plastic: only the top of the front panel and blotches on the door trim were soft.

The button for communication with the ERA-GLONASS system on the overhead console will appear with next year... Internet access and navigation is not provided in any of the configurations

Is the center console even slightly, only seven degrees, but turned towards the driver for no reason? After all, the old Elantra did not differ in a particularly pleasant driving character - and upset the lack of energy intensity of the rear suspension and swing on bumps.

The platform of the new Elantra is the same, with a semi-independent beam at the back. But the characteristics of all springs and shock absorbers have been revised, the attachment points of the rear suspension elements have been changed. And ... It's a completely different matter!

A color display with a branched menu appeared on the well-readable dashboard

After the trampolines of the sagging asphalt - not a hint of pecks and sighs. Tight! Perhaps too much: the Elantra trembles at the joints, and on the comb, the itch reaches not only the steering wheel, but also the back of the chair. So I do not advise making sacrifices for the sake of beauty, choosing the largest and low-profile optional wheels of dimension 215/45 R17 (exactly in such, with tires Hankook Ventus Prime 2, all test cars were shod).

Rear-view camera - with dynamic prompts, but a five-inch screen is modest by today's standards

But I did not wait for the familiar characteristic breakdowns of the suspension even on a rocky country road near Sochi in the area of ​​Olympic Krasnaya Polyana. So off-road the main limiter will be small clearance: under the dealer-installed steel guard engine compartment I measured a modest 13 cm. It is a pity that the increase ground clearance was not included in the list of changes when adapting the Elantra for our market - but I note that, in addition to the "climate package" with a more powerful battery, mud flaps and an enlarged tank for washer fluid, it added the ability to run engines on 92 gasoline.

For the legs of the place on back row enough, but not for the head. Only two-liter versions can boast of air ducts.

By the way, having bought sometime in the future Elantra from Korea or the USA, do not be surprised that it will go differently: “Russian” cars have their own - unique - suspension settings.

The rolls in the corners with the clamped suspension are not great, but I still didn’t start “tossing” along the new deserted serpentines in the mountains beyond Rosa Khutor. Elantra glides boringly, albeit safely - with the front facing out. And if in the city flea market there is no misunderstanding with the electric power steering (the steering wheel has become a little heavier and more informative), then in fast tense bends you feel the lack of "transparency".

The rear seats can be equipped with two-level heating, and the front seats can also be equipped with a position memory

0 / 0

And also, not only the pacifying silence in the cabin (even at the limit of permitted speeds, my fellow traveler and I communicated in an undertone) pushes to calm movement in space, but also power unit... I did not test the car with the previous base 1.6 MPI engine of the Gamma series, but under the hood of the "older" version, the place of the 150-horsepower 1.8 unit was taken by the two-liter Nu series engine - which was derated from 155 hp. up to the same taxable 150 forces.

In Sochi, I traveled on a two-liter modification with an "automatic". There is order with comfort and smoothness of switching, and if you are in no hurry, then there is enough dynamics. But to actively go even in sport mode optional Drive systems Mode Select(it changes the sensitivity of the accelerator pedal, setting the steering wheel and gearbox) is possible only by twisting the engine manual mode transmissions up to the limit of 6500 rpm. To do this, by the way, you have to pull the transmission selector: paddle shifters, like a related Kia cerato, neither version has.

The share of high-strength steels in the body structure increased by one third to 53%. And the coefficient aerodynamic drag Cx was reduced from 0.28 to 0.27 due to a more thorough study of the bottom and front bumper: for example, the gills-slots above fog lights optimize flows in the front arches

However, the smooth nature of the Nu-motor in conjunction with the "automatic" is not a revelation: the same power unit is driven by the Hyundai i40, Tucson and many Kia models.

Another thing is the starting price of Elantra, starting at 899,900 rubles. After all, a car of the previous generation could be purchased for at least 944,900 rubles! Philanthropy - or, if you prefer, falanthropy? Unfortunately no. And not the savings from SKD assembly at the Kaliningrad Avtotor. It's just that for this money a new, poorer, Start equipment will be available without an audio system and heated front seats. Although with ABS, ESP, two airbags, air conditioning, power windows, power and heated mirrors, an uphill start assist system and tire pressure sensors.

The remote trunk release function allows the lid to be lifted by standing by for three seconds with the key in your pocket. Trunk volume has decreased from 485 to 458 liters, and it is still concealed by the bulging rear arches and hinges

But the prices for the running versions increased by only 15-30 thousand rubles. V Base modifications(plus a CD-player, Bluetooth and heated front seats) the new Elantra now costs from 974,900 rubles. The Active version (1,054,900 rubles with "mechanics" and 1,099,900 rubles with "automatic") already has six airbags, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, heated rear seats, rain sensor and alloy wheels. And the two-liter motor is available only "on load" to the maximum Comfort version with LED running lights, cruise control, multimedia system with a five-inch screen, rear view camera, heated steering wheel, light sensor and front parking sensors. However, for a reasonable surcharge of 100 thousand rubles.

Full spare wheel relies only on the Active and Comfort versions, on the "lower" trim levels - a stowaway

And, perhaps, in this situation, the prettier Elantra has a chance to squeeze out competitors. Indeed, in its former form, it was a strong middle peasant among the golf-class sedans. Last year, for example, 5122 cars were sold: not counting the cheap sedan Ravon Gentra(13595 cars), ahead only Volkswagen jetta(11685), Nissan Sentra (7548), Toyota corolla(6137) and a relative of Kia Cerato (5495).

Sixth generation Hyundai Elantra (Avante's South Korea)

The Kaliningrad automobile plant "Avtotor" has begun the so-called SKD assembly new generation Hyundai models Elantra. The last generation already the sixth. To date, about forty cars of the famous "Korean" have already been assembled and "packed".
The assembly from large units that is practiced so far does not mean complete localization of production, which ideally is designed to significantly reduce the cost of "home-grown" korean cars... They are actively working on this, and full localization will be achieved in the near future. It will be a holiday for Russian car owners. Price holiday. In addition to "budget" models passenger cars South Korean Hyundai brand, Kaliningrad auto assemblers are also engaged in business class representatives. In particular, sedans and station wagons are leaving the local assembly line. Hyundai i40 and Hyundai equus , a car of a representative level.


Hyundai elantra, according to the head of the Russian office of Hyundai, is one of the most demanded cars not only at home, but all over the world. This is what gives Koreans confidence that in Russia this model will conquer the top of the consumer preference pedestal. The Korean also said that he trusts the local guys from Avtotor, do not be afraid, they say, they will collect quality.
By the way, it was not our side who insisted on starting the assembly in Russia, but the South Koreans themselves. At the moment, for Russian assemblers, the implementation of about three hundred assembly operations from the entire production cycle is available.

Hyundai Elantra sixth generation It was officially presented in September of this year in its homeland, by the way, in South Korea it bears a different name: Avante... The basic equipment of this model assumes the use of a 1.6-liter 132-horsepower GDi. In addition to it, the range of engines is represented by a 2.0-liter MPi petrol capable of developing 149 horsepower and a 1.6-liter VGT diesel. Diesel produces 136 honest horses. Gasoline engines are installed either with a six-speed manual, or automatic transmissions... And the diesel will be paired only with a two-clutch seven-speed automatic.

Hyundai Elantra fifth generation Today it is sold in Russia starting at 860 kilo rubles for the basic configuration. A fancy version of Elantra costs two hundred thousand more wooden ones. Most recently, the Koreans let slip that they are going to bring a new generation and four-wheel drive to us.

Cars from Korea have long earned a reputation for being reliable, well-equipped and modern. Vehicle... This fact allows manufacturers to position their models in the more prestigious middle class. For example -, which, taking into account the attractive price, has every chance to occupy an impressive part of the market.

Appearance of the 2017 Hyundai Elantra

The exterior design of the current generation of the model has become more consistent, but has lost some of the stylish solutions, such as taillights, wave-like passing on the wings. In general, the appearance has become closer to the i40 business-class sedan, which only adds to its solidity. High sill line on back doors has been preserved, as has the sloping roof, which adds a sporty touch and unambiguously hints at the target audience for whom dynamic driving and the excellent aerodynamics associated with it are important.

There are also quite controversial solutions, such as a trapezoidal radiator grill, the style of which is inherent in older models from Aston martin, and later migrated to more affordable or. This move added aggressiveness to the car, but completely deprives the front end of its individuality.

Side air intakes in front bumper, as well as the sloping line of the bonnet are stylized as functional elements of sports cars, but we have before us a typical representative of the middle class, which, however, has outstanding aerodynamic performance. The drag coefficient is only 0.28.

Despite the fact that the model's appearance was carefully hidden, the expectations were clearly not met. The design turned out to be too predictable after publication official photos did not cause a stir. However, we must pay tribute to the developers - it is harmonious and elaborate, and the 17-inch wheels fit perfectly into its side profile.

In general, the corporate identity of the concern, called "Fludic Sculpture 2.0", is visible. But as for functionality, it was frankly sacrificed for the sake of a spectacular appearance, in particular, the trunk lid is quite narrow and has an irregular geometric shape.

Salon Hyundai Elantra of the sixth generation

If appearance Since the car has retained its recognizability and differs mainly in nuances, the interior has been completely redesigned. Better materials were used in finishing, the design was modified, the architecture of the center console was rebuilt, which, in confirmation of the sporty image, is slightly turned towards the driver.

The car is distinguished by excellent sound insulation inherent in more expensive models, which, together with carefully fitted interior details, provides decent acoustic comfort.

It should be noted that the sloping roofline somewhat limits the headroom. rear passengers as on direct competitor models - Renault fluence what for family car is a significant drawback.

Much attention is paid to the multimedia filling of the car, the head part of which is a fairly large eight-inch touch screen on the center console. The system is compatible with, allowing you to sync with any smartphone.

Already in baseline list equipment includes: a rear-view camera, the image quality with which is poor, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, light and rain sensors. Parking aid and automatic emergency braking are available as options.

Specifications

Sixth generation Elantra offers a choice of two petrol (base, 1.6-liter and 132 hp, and a two-liter unit, producing 149 hp) and one diesel engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 136 hp. The manufacturer does not exclude the possibility of the appearance hybrid version... will be available with a seven-speed robotized transmission, coupled with two clutches. For an ordinary middle-class sedan, the power of the listed engines is quite enough, but their capabilities clearly come into dissonance with an aggressive and dynamic look.

The manufacturer confidently announces the high efficiency of the new Elantra and claims a suburban highway consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers. As for the urban cycle, this figure rises to 8 liters. Given enough large mass the car and the use of high-alloy steels in the new generation, which make it possible to increase its torsional rigidity, the indicators are very optimistic and most likely do not take into account the real road situation.

Thus, we are dealing with the traditional mistake of many automakers, which is to equip a dynamic car with rather mediocre engines in terms of power. With that said, a dense suspension, a rigid body, excellent aerodynamics and a sharp steering with good feedback, it should have had a six-cylinder engine.

The steering is sharp enough, with an electric booster, which allows for active lane changes, and body roll is almost imperceptible due to a well-tuned moderately stiff suspension. It was the suspension that became the most seriously redesigned element of the platform, and received a completely new kinematics, new springs and shock absorbers with different characteristics. Despite this, implemented in it technical solutions rather simple and more typical of budget models. In particular, the front suspension is independent with MacPherson struts, and the rear is semi-independent torsion bar. All - disc, which has long been the norm for such cars.

The Elantra has grown a bit compared to the previous generation, and now its length is 4570 mm, which is approximately halfway between the C + and the full D class. As for the efficiency of using space, a not entirely rational decision was made here - to leave the previous base of 2700 mm with an increase overall dimensions... With enough spacious salon this is a forgivable miscalculation, especially since the width was increased by 25 mm and in the sixth generation it is 1800 mm. The height has also slightly grown - by 5 mm, which is clearly not enough, especially in terms of the headroom in the second row.

Russian buyers are offered a car Kaliningrad assembly, which was launched at the Avtotor enterprise back in May 2016. Base engine for domestic market- from previous generation, a working volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 118 hp. As the top end, the aforementioned two-liter engine is proposed, with which the acceleration to 100 km / h is only 8.8 seconds. There are six-speed options to choose from.

The starting price of the car is 899 thousand rubles. Equipment for Russian market much more modest. So, even in maximum configuration the car is equipped with a multimedia system with a modest five-inch display. And in the initial version, instead of climate control, a primitive air conditioner is completely proposed. The maximum cost of a new item, taking into account additional equipment will amount to 1,199 thousand rubles. This will somewhat temper the ardor of potential buyers, since in this price range there are a lot of offers from eminent concerns.

Thus, the sixth generation Elantra has every chance to continue the successful line of sales of the family, leading history since 1990. The striking design, attention to the finishing elements and the elaboration of the platform characteristics deserve the attention of consumers. The car turned out to be quite balanced for the middle class, and the promised attractive price against the background of competitors will allow you to find your buyer.

The configuration and prices of the Hyundai Elantra 2019 in the Russian market start at 1,049,000 rubles for basic variant with an initial engine and mechanical box... The version with the automatic machine costs from 1,155,000 rubles, and the car with more powerful motor costs from 1,225,000 rubles. The start of sales of the restyled version fell on March nineteenth.

Technical Hyundai specifications Elantra 2019 model year provide for two engines - gasoline aspirated MPI with a working volume of 1.6 (128 hp) and 2.0 (149 hp) liters. Both are available mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

This market participant keeps prices at minimum level and offers highly productive technical equipment options for every customer. If you want a comfortable and reliable car, now is the time to choose your variant of Hyundai.

Hyundai Elantra - the main features of the new sedan

The changes affected primarily the appearance. Already pretty familiar design previous generation was replaced by a stricter and more unusual decision. The car received a slightly different optics, which now differs in functionality. The features of the exterior have ceased to be blurred, there is more rigidity in the design. Key features and important characteristics the machines influencing popularity are as follows:

• very attractive and modern appearance that can rival any competitor, perfectly assembled and thoughtful interior with good materials;
• the 1.6-liter engine is known to customers by the Solaris model, the unit feels great with Russian gasoline and consumes very little, the power is 128 horsepower;
• the old 2-liter engine produces 149 horses and is preferable for every buyer, both units are supplied with mechanics or with an automatic transmission;
• the dynamics of the car is not record-breaking, since the engines are quite ordinary, but the ride comfort was quite high, the suspension is soft, but moderately informative;
• the control system and other details of the periphery of the car did not change, the sensations from operation will remain the same, which cannot but please the potential buyer.

Hyundai Elantra today can be safely called one of the best representatives in its segment. This car has outlived many competitors and opened up new facets of the markets of almost all countries where the brand is represented. The company offers high-quality assembly, excellent aggregates and reliable peripheral technology. And you can buy all this from 900,000 rubles. Quite a democratic price tag for such a car.

Volkswagen Jetta - German competitor for Elantra

One of the most ardent competitors of the Hyundai Elantra will be the Volkswagen Jetta, a German sedan that has not changed price tags for a long time and has remained in a fairly democratic position. This car received many interesting operational opportunities that are inherent only in German technology. It should also be noted the following important subtleties of technical and performance characteristics auto:

• impressive modern design, the C-class sedan is very similar to the Passat, offers excellent appearance data, excellent vehicle operation capabilities;
• the interior is created for people, here everything knows its place and is perfectly exploited, you can purchase complete sets with elite additions in the interior space;
• 1.6 MPI engines without a turbine produce 85 or 105 horses, turbocharged unit 1.4 TSI will please 122 or 150 horse power, units are reliable and efficient;
• there are configuration options with a manual transmission, a DSG robot or the most reliable traditional automatic, the cost of versions is quite affordable;
• the car is hard enough, but on bad road it does not shake the interior, the suspension gives necessary information on the road, the handling of the Golf is quite sporty.

This car is designed for a young person at heart. An excellent sedan for the Russian market, which offers both practical and classic technology, as well as powerful modern engines with great potential. This is why the Jetta can be called one of the main competitors for the Elantra. There is one more point that increases the potential interest in the German - this is the cost of 864,000 rubles per base.

Nissan Sentra is an interesting Japanese competitor for the Elantra

The large number of cars in the C-class makes it difficult to choose worthy contenders for many cars. The Hyundai Elantra will also have to compete for a place in the sun with the Japanese sedan Nissan Sentra. These are cars that are very similar in logic. Sentra was released for the first time in 2014 and also has an innovative design and interesting technique. The main parts of the car that make it a worthy competitor are as follows:

• very attractive athletic appearance v the best traditions elite cars from the Nissan corporation, pleasant performance of optics, handles and other exterior details;
• interior for a comfortable, but very active trip, the driver will not be bored in the Nissan Sentra, everything here is very interesting and unusually created for your trip;
• the only 1.6-liter engine and 117 horsepower is not overly modern, but the Sentra is quite good luck in any direction, the car is very practical;
• suspension is not afraid Russian road, copes very well with irregularities and a "washboard", there is every opportunity to operate a car very comfortably;
• a large number of configurations with some changes in technology makes it easy to choose a car that is suitable for yourself in terms of price and characteristics.

It is worth taking a closer look at the most worthy configurations. The difference in cost between the basic version and the most modern version equipment is a little more than two hundred thousand. The most affordable option with mechanics will cost 916,000 rubles, and the most expensive configuration with a variator and other interesting additions costs 1,150,000 rubles. This is a very affordable price for such a car.

Ford Focus - a sedan for everyone with great potential

One of the best-selling vehicles in the world is the compact sedan Ford Focus. It has repeatedly ranked first in Europe and Eurasia in terms of sales among all existing classes of transport. This is a fairly reliable and high-quality car with a huge number of technical advantages and opportunities. It must be admitted that the car has fascinating capabilities in all respects:

• the new generation of 2014 looks simply amazing, the Ford corporate identity is preserved in every detail of the car's exterior, there are remarkable moments;
• the interior is quite human, but also very modern, the car has excellent ergonomics and offers a very high quality of all materials;
• technically, there is a considerable variety, gasoline engines 1.6 liters with a potential of 105 and 125 horses, as well as 1.5- and 2-liter gasoline unit for 150 forces;
• there are mechanical and automatic boxes gears, you can choose a complete set according to your taste, the most different variants aggregation of the presented engines;
• interesting performance and unusual capabilities of the car aroused a certain interest in this sedan, many buyers really like the comfort of the car.

Soft and comfortable ride- an integral plus of a small compact sedan from the European division of Ford. The company has created without exaggeration the best way auto for any user. We can safely name the optimal features of transport, such as convenience, reliability and practicality, attractiveness and quality. Buy Focus in basic configuration you can for 970,000 rubles, which is quite a lot for this segment. We offer you to watch the review of the Hyundai Elentra in the following video:

Summing up

Hyundai Elantra turned out to be far from the cheapest representative of its class. Even a German classmate will be cheaper. But in most cases, the Korean is offering the best value for one of their flagships. Excellent technical characteristics of the car, its amazing luxury in all the traditions of the manufacturer - all this creates unusual opportunities for the company. It should be noted that car sales are constantly growing and approaching the leading positions. Today you can purchase korean sedan for relatively little money with a very good package.

Buying a car like this would be a good idea, but it's worth considering the presence of competitors. You can find great rivals in the market, get the brightest emotions from tests and personal acquaintance with the car. It must be admitted that the above rivals are just the tip of the iceberg for C-class sedans. There are quite a few representatives here, and each of them represents their own important advantages and technical advantages... We suggest using a personal test drive to assess the capabilities of vehicles. What car do you consider the most worthy competitor for the new Hyundai Elantra?
