Hyundai Assan “Sedan spirit, found the charm” slogan with the slogan of the new Elantra’nın Smart model towards the Kaz Mountains Winter Day Winter Day Ice and frost, we were going down to Balıkesir on the road covered with peeled snow… This road I went for the first time. We arrive at Kocaoba, Çamlı Bahçe, Hüseyin Bey Obası, Kara Dönek Creek, Gelin Creek, Havran Stream, Havran and Edremit. At night, 01.00-02.00 waters to open the snow and way to open all military, gendarmerie, municipal vehicles on the road, suddenly suppressing the high altitude of the high altitude of the mountain trapped vehicles and soldiers are trying to help. Hyundai Elantra Smart is on our vehicle “Pirelli Sottozero”We can say that having the best winter tires tied us to our road and driving adventure.
Hyundai Elantra, introduced for the first time in 1990 and then offered for sale, has a remarkable design with its brand new design features and discriminatory appearance, which is the most popular and most popular of the brand with more than 15 million sales customs in 30 years.
Hyundai Elantra is now one of the longest and wider vehicles of its class with its seventh generation, a sedan vehicle with a more sporty and different design line.
The CN7 model coded new Elantra reflects the new design identity that Hyundai calls the parametric dynamic, based on extraordinary shapes and tissues. Hyundai, who adopts a more aggressive, sporty and different design philosophy at a time when all vehicles in the automotive world are almost similar, wants to attract the attention of automobile lovers who are bored of traditional designs. In this context, there is an innovative design philosophy called ”Parametric Dynamic ında in the car with unusual hard lines. This philosophy has been expressed as a process based on algorithmic thought that defines and encodes the relationship between the purpose and solution of the design.
To simply describe parametric dynamic design; It is necessary to say that three lines meet at a single point. Thus, while there are three main lines on the vehicle, the harsh transitions in the doors and the rear fenders have managed to highlight all the dynamism of the vehicle.
This design language meets all the expectations of those who want difference in the new Elantra in the most brave way; In other words, he manages to gather all his gaze wherever he passes.
The wide -stage new type grille and integrated headlights make the car look wider than it is. In addition, thanks to the wind ducts in the bumper, the friction coefficient is significantly reduced.
In this way, the aerodynamism of the vehicle increased and fuel economy was achieved. Hard transitions extending from front to back start to unite again in the front doors. Stop lamps positioned at the back on the back begin to reach out to the body on the right and left side. On the side of the rear design, which has a Z -shaped form, has created more loading space in the luggage part.
Offering a four -door coupe atmosphere, this new design supports its stylish appearance with its bright black bumper diffuser. In addition, the LED rear lamps that make up the form H also extend along the tailgate to offer a tremendous visual, especially in night driving.
By choosing a longer, lower and wider form than the sixth generation to turn Hyundai engineers and designers into a four -door coupe look; The total length of the new Elantra has increased by 30 mm and an increase of 25 mm with a total width of 22 mm. While the height descends 10 mm, the front hood was shifted by almost 50 mm backwards, while these changes significantly changed the design lines of the vehicle, while a wider and spacious area was tried to be provided in the cabin.
Driver -oriented cockpit, while carrying the feeling and excitement to the top while simplicity, the elegance that comes with simplicity draws attention as another important element. The new type of steering wheel and the digital display indicators also support this structure. New aesthetic lines, the interior of the vehicle is at a level that destroys all taboos.
It starts to exhibit a different ambiance than Hyundai models. In other words, as in the outside, the elegance in the cockpit made Elantra more daring than its competitors.
The inner layout of “impressive cocoon” surrounds the driver like a plane cockpit. Low and wide lines extend from the door to the middle console. Low and wide this style also provides a large interior to the car. Compatible with two screens of two 10 -inch screens connected to each other, the extensive information screen and indicator manages to increase the futuristic feeling of the car.
The angled touch screen is located in a highly useful place to see and control the driver. While Elantra is in the driver’s seat, all emotions that should be felt to use the car for hours are combined with new aesthetic lines. Another purpose of Hyundai designers; Make your driver feel special while in the car. Therefore, there is a handle extending parallel between the driver’s side and the right passenger seat, and the entire cockpit is fully positioned towards the driver. This handle, which has a separator feature, gives the vehicle a premium impression. In addition, the completely new design product elegant seats to the top of the sporting level. Seats with high heads surrounding the body, racing or super sports cars are referring. These seats, which are offered with three different color options, black, beige and light gray, come up with leather at Elite Plus, the top equipment level. Gear knob, electronic parking brake and other buttons are also prepared in a different way than other Hyundai models.
Hyundai Elantra, with its design and aesthetic interior, makes a difference in the C Sedan segment, while at the same time meets the wide luggage needs of families. The luggage volume increases to 474 liters by offering 16 liters more space than the previous generation. The knee distance in the back row is 58 mm more than the previous model. So it offers a total of 964 mm value for a comfortable journey.
Hyundai’s third generation vehicle platform significantly improves the general design, security, efficiency, power and driving performance of the new Elantra. The new Elantra has a lighter and better fuel economy thanks to the K3 platform. This platform also allows engineers to reduce the center of gravity for engineers for more agile handling.
It is also a multi -layered structure at the time of a possible collision and increases safety. The K3 platform can easily be extended and expanded. Thus, it offers the opportunity to use in models in other segments. Elantra’s suspension system, which exhibits a different stance from aesthetically, is also for comfort. Thanks to the improved suspension assembly structure, both dynamism and high -level driving comfort are obtained.
Hyundai Elantra’s driving performance goal is to be an exciting and fun car to use it. The engineers, who significantly improve reactions by combining the new platform and modern power transfer organs, also allowed the car to quickly respond to the driver’s way of use.
New Elantra, on the highway and in the city with extremely quiet and robust driving features; In addition, Cevik driving dynamics offer different driving tastes to ECO, Normal, Sport and Smart with four different driving modes.
The new Elantra Smart has a 1.6 -liter atmospheric feeding engine and a CVT transmission. This engine, which promises to fuel economy and optimum efficiency, is 123 horsepower. The double -eccentric motor from the top has a multi -point injection fuel spray system (MPI) feature.

Test drive deficiencies and general comments about the vehicle:
The new Hyundai Elantra Smart is fun and sporty with different driving modes and also recognizes Eco driving mode. For this reason, he won our appreciation. At the same time, the best driving mode of the vehicle is normal mode. The new Hyundai Elantra has a hand -opened Sunroof cover cover. At the same time, the driver’s seat and passenger seats unfortunately not found an electric and automatically adjustable functional structure. The seats are manually adjusted. Again, the new Elantra Smart does not have electric heated seats in the leather upholstery seat structure, especially in winter conditions. While the right drive glass of the vehicle can be opened and closed automatically, the front passenger glass opening-offering manually works. While the design and chassis structure of the vehicle is attached to the right tires, the handling is fine. FAFKAT, high speeds and windy weather in the front of the vehicle in the hood and engine part of an intense swing and fidelity. The vehicle’s tendencies from the front are very high. At 140-150 km speed, I compare it as trying to keep it on the front in windy weather, keeping the plane in the wind in the wind. The vehicle is quite comfortable and the road does not tire you. The vehicle can travel for a long time without fatigue at high speeds at high speeds. However, it seems difficult in terms of the engine to rise and accelerate. Atik and very fast for a vehicle with heavy acceleration acceleration, as well as acceleration to reach 150 and 180 km is slightly heavier at high speeds. But after capturing your cycle, you can go at the same speed for a long time. The Bose Music System of the Vehicle Sound Quality is very, very good. The transmission and gear shifts of the vehicle manually are successful in urgent gear reduction. But the vehicle should have F1 gear pedals on the steering wheel. The average test fuel consumption of the vehicle on the long road is 8.0 liters.
