Chatham, Massachusetts-Hidden in the sharp lines and high-tech architecture of the new seventh-generation 2021 Hyundai Elantra N Line, it is a true sports car with the soul of the old world.
This seemingly contradictory result creates a very satisfactory machine that combines the direct driving pleasure of blasting on challenging roads, while a manual shift six-speed gearbox with modern safety and driving The user assistance function helps to ensure that the fun never gets out of control.
The entire spacious five-person ultra-compact bag accomplishes all of this with extreme efficiency and economy: 38.7 miles per gallon under my heavier feet (the Federal Environmental Protection Agency rated the Elantra N Line manual as 28 miles per gallon, in the city The medium is 25 miles per gallon, 34 on the highway) and the full price of a comprehensively equipped machine of US$25,260 (including US$1,005 inland freight and handling and US$155 of carpet floor mats).
Hyundai Elantra once meant a relatively simple entry-level vehicle: value basic transportation value and value pizza. The image has been completely erased by the new generation, especially in N Line trimming.
In order to transform the 2021 Elantra into the appearance of a new four-door fastback coupe, modern engineers and designers made it longer, lower and wider than the sixth-generation model. The overall length of the 2021 Elantra has increased by 2.2 inches, the wheelbase has increased by 0.8 inches, and the overall width has increased by 1 inch. The overall height has also dropped by 0.8 inches, and the front fairing point has moved back nearly two inches. These small changes have greatly changed the shape of the car, but have a limited impact on the cabin space. In fact, most of the key internal dimensions have increased.
The technology shares cabin space and system operations with the old buttons and knobs on the Elantra N Line. The dual zone automatic climate control system has a dial for temperature control of the driver and passengers.
Volume, tuning, and power on/off knobs—along with the touch screen and steering wheel-mounted controls—facilitate infotainment operations. Unusual among ultra-small cars is the wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto function, which means that if your smartphone uses one of these operating systems, navigation and other applications will be seamlessly usable-very cool and simple!
The system also includes SiriusXM satellite radio and travel link information, as well as Hyundai Blue Link® connected car system, which uses embedded telematics to allow the driver to use the MyHyundai smartphone app to remotely start the vehicle and control the temperature inside the vehicle. The app also allows users to remotely lock or unlock their car doors, and use Car Finder and remote horns and lights to find their vehicles in crowded parking lots.
Not a special part of the Blue Link® kit, but another feature of modern smartphones is the digital key, once programmed, it allows your smartphone to replace the remote control key.
Other internal features of Elantra N Line are front heated sports seats (hold the occupants during an energetic driving), the driver can adjust the power according to the position and lumbar support; 60/40 split rear seats can be expanded Already large luggage capacity, as well as electric tilt and sliding sunroof.
Below the Elantra N Line is a new modern compact platform that has undergone many improvements to create a vehicle with a more dramatic appearance and dynamic performance.
By increasing the wheelbase while reducing the front and rear overhangs, the Elantra's posture is more distinct.
These changes, along with a lower center of gravity, improved steering by moving the gearbox up and lowering the drier seat position, all help to "connect" the driver and the Elantra more closely and improve driving feel.
The N Line Elantra has a four-wheel independent suspension that is separate from the non-performance gasoline engine version, sport tuned. It has a MacPherson strut, a double-tube hydraulic shock absorber and a front stabilizer bar, a multi-link pneumatic hydraulic shock absorber and a rear stabilizer bar.
18-inch N Line alloy wheels with 235/40 R18 Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.
Four-channel, four-sensor anti-lock braking (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution (EBD) and a 12-inch front ventilated brake rotor are the core of the braking system.
Powering all these platform components is a 201-horsepower, 195-pound-feet of torque, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. In my case, it is powered by a six-speed manual transmission (seven-speed available with steering-wheel-mounted gearshift Piece of automatic dual-clutch transmission).
Hyundai puts its advanced driver assistance system under SmartSense. The extensive list that comes with Elantra N Line includes: Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Following Assist (LFA), High Beam Assist (HBA), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA) and Rear Intersection Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA).
The rear view monitor system with dynamic guidance uses an 8-inch color touch screen as the center of the infotainment system.
For those who like to drive, the Elantra N Line has a lot to like. Choose a six-speed manual transmission for those who like to shift gears for themselves, reminiscent of the era when all sports cars were equipped.
Like any real sports car, the Elantra N Line turns a very capable four-door, five-seater car into a flashing driving experience, when the driver wants to have fun, or when it’s the reason to drive Back to the home porter.
All in all, in today's automotive world, the Elantra N Line is an expensive car.
