According to the announcement, Hyundai has just unveiled the next generation of its global hit - the Elantra model. The car, which has been breaking popularity records in the US for many years, boasts several interesting solutions.

In line with the latest generation demarcation trends, the new Elantra is a camera aiming for the d segment. thus, the car is longer, wider and lower than before. The wheelbase also increased by 2 cm - up to 272 cm. The basis for creating the car was a completely new platform.

Stylists chose an unusual shape-the liftback-type body resembles a four-door coupe. Representatives of the brand also talk about "progressive and esoteric appearance" - the car foreshadows a new stylistic trend that will hit other models of the Korean brand.

In the interior, we will now find a standard 8-inch touch screen with wireless support for Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Richer versions will get a 10.25-inch screen that-behind one glass-connects to the digital instrument cluster. The already basic infotainment system offers support for two mobile devices.
For the first time in history, the Elantra model will also be offered with hybrid drive. In this case, under the hood we find a 1.6 l GDI petrol (running in the Atkinson cycle) with an electric traction engine generating 32 kW. In total, the transmission offers 139 HP and 264 Nm. 1.32 kW battery packs are installed under the seat of the rear sofa. An unusual solution for the hybrid is to use a six-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission, rather than - widely used by competitors-a continuously variable CVT.http://fiatforum.lv/http://fiatforum.lv/
