Quick-facts:
- The Fluidic Elantra is available in both petrol and diesel variants. The petrol variant uses a 1.8 litre DOHC engine that produces 147.5 BHP of power @ 6,500 rpm and 177 NM of peak torque @ 4,700 rpm. The diesel variant on the other hand, uses the same 1.6 litre CRDi unit that we’ve seen on the Verna, which produces 126.2 BHP of power @ 4,000 rpm and 259NM of peak torque @ 2,750 rpm.
- Both petrol and diesel variants come with an option of a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Automatic variants however will be available only in the top-end spec.
- Both the petrol and diesel variants are exceptionally fuel-efficient – 22.70 kpl for the 1.6 diesel variant and 16.30 kpl for the 1.8 petrol variant. All figures are ARAI certified.
- Hyundai is advertising the new Elantra as the “Signature of success”; we hope the strap-line works its way out to make the fluidic Elantra the segment leader.
