Of course, our concept of shopping cart may be too one-sided. Who says shopping carts must be the choice of mature people? ? Now that Beijing Hyundai Elantra has developed into the seventh generation, isn't it still the role of a grocery cart? But in any case, it must be a grocery truck that young people like.

Too handsome, not like a shopping cart!
Traditional geomantic omen often discusses the five senses, while the grocery cart often has a unique "five senses", and people know it is a grocery cart at a glance. But Elantra will not feel this way at all, and you may even think it is a sports model. With exaggerated and radical design style, it is very individual and recognizable. This style is more common in Korean cars, and it is also a type that young people prefer.
In terms of size, Elantra is bigger than Dongfeng Honda Civic. Of course, the numerical difference between them is really insignificant, so from the appearance, Elantra will not appear particularly large.
Elantra's interior design is not dull, but very fashionable. Although the interior materials are general, the overall effect and atmosphere are quite popular with young people. Of course, it won't run like its appearance, and every detail can give people a soft feeling. The color matching looks more comfortable and conforms to the modern home concept.
Among the Korean cars I have contacted at present, I have never seen a car with unsatisfactory rear space. Elantra naturally inherited this good tradition. Moreover, its rear seats are more comfortable to ride, and it is also equipped with air conditioning outlets. In addition to the outstanding middle platform, it is more interesting, and other aspects meet the standards that a grocery cart should have.
However, its trunk space is quite satisfactory, and it is not prominent in its class. The model we test-drive also has a 4/6 split seat back design, so it will be more convenient and practical to put some bigger and longer objects. Unfortunately, this feature is not standard in all departments.
Intelligent configuration is worth mentioning.
If you want to compare the configuration, most domestic joint venture brand compact cars are basically not its opponents, even if the configuration keeps up, the price is much more expensive than it. Moreover, Elantra's configuration is not only numerous, but also quite intelligent. It is equipped with intelligent networking system 3.0 and blue? Link service integrates mainstream functions such as voice interaction, remote control, vehicle-home mutual control, and vehicle-mounted real-time navigation system. Of course, the time relationship, these functions we have not seriously experienced.
And it's modern? Smartsense security system is undoubtedly the selling point of the seventh generation Elantra. This system consists of active safety and driving assistance functions such as FCA front anti-collision assistance, LFA lane center maintenance, RCCA rear cross anti-collision assistance, BCA blind area anti-collision assistance, NSCC navigation-based intelligent cruise control, and HDA expressway driving assistance. In this test drive, we were most impressed by the three functions of NSCC, such as intelligent cruise control based on navigation, driving assistance of HDA expressway and keeping LFA lane centered.
Turn on constant speed endurance, adjust speed and distance, and the vehicle will automatically follow your settings. The whole driving process requires almost no human intervention. Even if there is a car next to it, it can slow down quickly, and the whole operation will not feel mechanical and rude, which makes people feel more at ease. The recognition ability of keeping the LFA lane in the middle is also expected to be stronger. It can keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane all the time, and even if it turns a corner, it will not easily "derail".
Shopping cart with driving pleasure
The Elantra we test-drive is equipped with an engine of 1.5L, so its power is really the characteristic of a grocery car. When you want to overtake or accelerate on the highway, you should dare to step on the accelerator as deeply as possible. Obviously, the intense driving style is not suitable for this power combination, it is suitable for driving in a gentle way, and the silky smoothness will definitely make you enjoy the "Buddhist" driving style.
Although the power is relatively average, it is quite good to save fuel. During the test drive, I ran about 47km, mainly at high speed, passing through some congested urban sections and a short section of national highway, and finally ran a mountain road. The final average fuel consumption is about 6.8L/ 100km. Of course, we didn't test it carefully, and the reference significance is limited.
If you have higher requirements for power, Elantra's 240TGDi model may be more suitable for you. Equipped with 1.4T engine and matched with 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. We haven't driven this version in this test drive, but its power is believed to be better than that of1.5l.
Its chassis comfort also exceeds our expectations, and its suspension is relatively soft, but the body will not bounce and shake too much during driving. However, when the mountain road turns, its roll is relatively small, so it is a little fun to drive when the turn is very accurate.
As for its sound insulation and noise reduction ability, Elantra is also what we expect. On the whole, it is quiet, and there will be no disturbance whether it is running at high speed or urban road conditions. Only in the process of acceleration, its hoarse engine sound will be a bit obvious. But for a car that is suitable for the "Buddhist" driving style, this kind of thing can be completely avoided through its own driving habits.
finally
Of course, our impression of Beijing Hyundai seventh-generation Elantra is limited to 1.5L model. If it is a 240TGDi model with better power, it may have a different driving experience. However, in terms of its price of 9.98-14.180,000 yuan, I believe that most consumers will choose 1.5L if they want to exercise a little, and Beijing Hyundai Fista is probably a better choice. After all, it is11.98-154800 yuan.
Although Elantra has a sporty appearance and a little fun to drive in terms of control, its comfortable ride experience is more suitable for use as a grocery car. However, it is not an ordinary shopping cart. It's a grocery cart that young people like. FAW Toyota Corolla and GAC Toyota Lei Ling also have this trait to some extent.
Therefore, the seventh-generation Elantra has only been listed for two months, and its sales volume has exceeded 10,000, which is really quite good. As for "multiple generations under one roof", its position will become even more embarrassing, because Elantra is cheaper than it, and whether this car has the value of continuing to sell is a problem that Beijing Hyundai needs to seriously consider.
