“Hyundai Elantra”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Hyundai Elantra ({{lang-ko|현대 엘란트라}}), or Hyundai Avante (현대 아반떼) in South Korea, is a compact car produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 1990.

The Elantra was initially marketed as the Lantra in Australia and some European markets. In Australia, this was due to the similarly named Mitsubishi Magna Elante model.^[1] This gave rise to a disagreement with other motor manufacturers, and the name was standardized as "Elantra" worldwide in 2001 (except in Korea).^[2]

{{anchor|first generation|J1}} First generation (J1; 1991–1995)

Launched in October 1990, the Elantra (codename J1) received a mid-term facelift in 1993.

It was sold in Europe from the spring of 1991. It replaced the somewhat larger on the outside Stellar, although that model had not been offered in many markets. The Elantra competed with the likes of the Ford Sierra and Vauxhall Cavalier/Opel Vectra, but at a considerably lower price.

The Elantra was powered by a Mitsubishi-designed 1.6 L (1595 cc) straight-four. This DOHC 16-valve 1.6 L unit produced 113 hp (84 kW) at 6000 rpm and could push the Elantra to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 9.5 seconds. The quarter-mile (0.4 km) run took 17.1 seconds and produced 80 mph (129 km/h). Top speed was 116 mph (187 km/h). The Elantra got {{convert|22|mpgus|L/100km|abbr=on}} in the city cycle. Starting in 1993 a Mitsubishi-designed 1.8 L (1836 cc) inline-four option was available; this unit produces 124 hp (99 kW) at 6000 rpm.

Facelifts

The vehicle was refreshed in 1992 for the European market, adding Hyundai's current logo to the grille, although North American models retained the previous year's look. In 1993, the vehicle was refreshed again. The third (second in North America) and final facelift of this generation occurred in 1994 for both front and rear fascias.{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} The vehicle featured ABS brakes, front airbags, fog lamps, power-operated side mirrors and optional alloy seven-spoke wheels.

{{anchor|second generation|J2|RD}} Second generation (J2/RD; 1996–2000)

The first Hyundai J2-series model (Hyundai Avante) was launched in the Asia Korean Domestic Market in March 1995. The first variants were offered with either 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission and was "only" equipped with an Alpha II G4FK DOHC (1495 cm3/ 91.2 cui) with an advertised power of 79 kW/ 106 hp /107 PS ( JIS net) and 137 Nm / 101 lb-ft of torque.

The introduction of the first Hyundai Beta-series engine came in September 1995 which was manufactured and sold in the European market and vehicle versions and sub-models were named Lantra (Mk2).

The 1.6L Lantra (Mk2) version and sub-models were equipped with the Beta I G4GR DOHC 16v (1599 cm3/ 97.9 cui) engine which had two varying net horsepower in the European market.

Beta I G4GR DOHC 16v (1599 cm3/ 97.9 cui) with an advertised power of 66 kW/ 89 hp/ 90 PS (ECE), and 126 Nm/ 93 lb-ft and torque which was manufactured and sold in the Europe Germany Market.

Beta I G4GR DOHC 16v (1599 cm3/ 97.9 cui) with an advertised power of 84 kW / 113 hp/ 114 PS (ECE) and 143 Nm/ 105 lb-ft of torque which was manufactured and sold in the Europe UK Market

1995 was also the year were Hyundai launched the Hyundai Lantra 1.9 D GL 5-door wagon in the European market. This vehicle was equipped with PSA XUD9 SOHC 8-valve diesel engine

with an advertised power of 50 kW/ 67 hp /68 PS ( ECE) and 118 Nm/ 87 lb-ft of torque. This was the first diesel engine powered version of the Hyundai J2 series which was followed by a sedan version in 1997.

Hyundai launched the Beta I series engine in the Asia Korean Domestic Market in the mid-year of 1996. The Beta I G4GM DOHC 16v (1796 cm3/ 109.8 cui), equipped on either the J2-series sedan or touring version but was only offered with an automatic transmission (4-speed gearbox) and had an advertised power of 101.5 kW/ 136 hp / 138 PS (JIS net) and 172 Nm / 127 lb-ft of torque.

The North American Market for the J2-series Elantra were only equipped with the 1.8 Beta G4GM and 2.0 Beta G4GF engines.

Launched in 1995, the second generation (codename RD or J2) was offered as a sedan and station wagon. It was sold in the South Korean market as the "Hyundai Avante" in sedan form and "Avante Touring" in the wagon body style. Some export markets such as Australia and Europe received the series as the "Hyundai Lantra" as per the first generation. Australian market wagons were titled "Lantra Sportswagon". Between 1996 and 1998, the Elantra was marketed as the "Bimantara Nenggala" (1.6-liter gasoline) in Indonesia.

In Europe, 1996 through 1997 sedan models had carried a silver Mercury-type false grille, while the wagon carried no front grille.{{citation needed|date=December 2011}}

At launch, a 1.5-liter Alpha SOHC ({{convert|61|kW|hp|0|abbr=on|disp=or}}) inline-four engine and 1.8-liter Beta DOHC ({{convert|95|kW|hp|0|abbr=on|disp=or}}) gasoline I4 engine were available domestically. Later, a 1.5-liter lean-burn ({{convert|66|kW|hp|0|abbr=on|disp=or}}) gasoline engine based on the Alpha DOHC engine was added. The Philippine version, as well as in some European markets, had the 1.6 (1599 cc) Beta, DOHC (G4GR) which produced ({{convert|86|kW|hp|0|abbr=on|disp=or}}) (in some European markets {{convert|66|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}}).{{citation needed|date=December 2011}}

Facelift

New grilles arrived in 1998 for the 1999 model year. The Lantra in Europe converged into a single-front end design, for both sedan and wagon. The model received the "RD2" or "J3" model codes. A PSA-built 1.9-liter atmospheric diesel option was also added for some European markets, producing {{convert|68|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}}.

A new 2.0-liter engine option became available. In Australia the GLS model was an upgrade on the GL model and offered the 2.0-liter engine, velour trim, softer cloth seats and alloy wheels. The GLS had body-colored rear license plate light holder and exterior side-view mirrors.

{{anchor|third generation|XD}} Third generation (XD; 2001–2006)

An all-new model (codename XD) was launched in 2000. The station wagon version was dropped in favor of a five-door hatchback. Starting in 2001, all American models came with standard front and front-side airbags, air conditioning, power locks, power windows and power steering. This simplified dealer inventories and repairs and also sought to improve Hyundai's image of "value" cars.

Facelift

In 2003, all models were refreshed (codename XD2); this introduced new headlights and taillights, a new grille, new front and rear bumpers, a refreshed hood and trunk, and a redesigned dashboard.

The GLS trim is standard for the Elantra. The top-of-the-line model, the GT trim, came with a stiffer suspension, leather seats, fog lights, alloy wheels, lip spoiler and blue-lit instrument cluster. Offered as a hatchback since 2001 as a 2002 model year vehicle, the only options for the GT were a power moonroof and anti-lock brakes with traction control. The only major option was a Kenwood MP3/CD deck. The GT trim sedan was introduced in 2003 and discontinued in 2005. The GT trim was replaced for the 2006 model year with the Limited trim, which featured new paint colors, a chrome vertical grille, leather interior with leather steering wheel and leather shifter and wood trim. The Limited trim featured steel rims with a 6-spoke cover featured in the GLS model. The GT trim for the five-door was produced for the remainder of the 2006 model year.

Canadian trim levels differed from that in the US: "GT" models came standard with alloy wheels, four way disc brakes and ABS but leather and TCS were only available on the "premium" GT edition.

The XD was available with 1.6-, 1.8- and 2.0-L gasoline engines and a 2.0-L turbo diesel. North American models are available only with the 2.0-L gasoline engine. The 1.8-L engine is a 1.6-L engine modified for the New Zealand market.

While compact on the outside, it was listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a mid-size car because of a spacious interior. Although the basic powertrain design had changed little since the second generation, fuel economy improved for Elantras with manual transmissions from an EPA city rating of {{convert|24|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} to {{convert|25|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}}, and further to {{convert|27|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} in 2006. Cars with automatic transmissions returned {{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}}, a reduction of {{convert|3|mpgus|mpgimp|abbr=on}}.Horsepower improved from 135 hp (100 kW) to 138 hp (102 kW), and torque from 132 to 136, mainly due to the addition of continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) in 2004. Originally, the horsepower rating was misrepresented as 140 hp (104 kW). In 2006, the Elantra was offered with a SULEV emission rated engine in some US states.

In China, the Elantra XD was produced by Beijing Hyundai from December 23, 2003 to 2010. This car has been used as a taxicab in Beijing since 2005 replacing the Tianjin Xiali taxi due to fuel costs. The Elantra is available in 5 door hatchback for 2007 and sedan form from 2003 to 2010. Pre facelifted models of the Elantra XD were produced for the 2004 model year and had a facelift in 2007 consisting of new headlights, radiator, rear foglights on the rear bumper and new wheels. Production ran up to 2010.^[8]^[9] It was facelifted again for the 2011 model year featuring new front and rear lights, bumpers, a single rear bumper fog light, radiator and power folding mirrors with integrated turn signals. A 1.6 liter engine is available on taxi and passenger cars paired with a 5 speed manual gearbox. A 1.8 liter engine was available until 2007.

{{anchor|fourth generation|HD}} Fourth generation (HD; 2007–2010)

A redesigned sedan (designated HD) debuted at the 2006 New York Auto Show for the 2007 model year. As before, the HD sold under the Hyundai Avante name in its South Korean home market. It used a resurrected appearance from the 1960s and 1970s called "coke bottle styling".

The engine lineup included 1.6- Gamma and 2.0-liter Beta II gasoline inline-four engines, and a 1.6-liter turbodiesel inline-four. All engines featured improved fuel economy. A five-speed manual transmission was standard with an optional four-speed automatic.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) the Elantra received a Good overall score in the frontal crash test and a Marginal overall score in the side impact test, but all Hyundai Elantras manufactured after November 2009 earned a Good overall score in the side impact test.^[10]^[11]^[12] Standard side airbags included front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags.

Asia

Beijing Hyundai launched a redesigned Elantra called the "Elantra Yue Dong" for the Chinese market with an updated exterior and a separate facelifted 2011 Elantra model. The model was later updated in 2017 and is currently known as the Hyundai Celesta.

North America

Only the 2.0-liter engine was offered in North America. Unlike the 2006 model year XD series, the 2007 model year base HD Elantra GLS trim did not include air conditioning as standard equipment, but added side curtain airbags (previously front and side only), active head restraints and all-round disc brakes with four-channel ABS. The Elantra offered the most interior room in its class, leading the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to classify it as a mid-size car.

Hyundai offered the Hyundai i30 wagon in the U.S. and Canada marketed as the "Elantra Touring". Elsewhere, the same vehicle was marketed as the Hyundai i30cw.

Canadian trim levels were different from the US models. The base model "L" offered a base package with a four-speaker CD/MP3/Auxiliary stereo and front airbags. This trim included power windows in the front with manual windows in the rear. The "GL" added heated mirrors, air conditioning, power windows, heated seats, a six-speaker stereo, wheel-mounted cruise control and keyless entry with alarm. The "GLS" trim added wheel-mounted audio controls, ABS, all-round disc brakes, and front seat-mounted side-impact and roof-mounted side curtain airbags. The "GLS" with the Sport Package included a rear spoiler, power sunroof, 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, trip computer and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather shifter. The final trim level, the "Limited", added leather seats, a telescopic steering wheel and automatic climate control air conditioning.

LPI Hybrid

Hyundai presented the LPI Hybrid at the 2009 Seoul Motor Show, and sales began as the Avante "LPI Hybrid" in the South Korean market in July 2009. The LPI Hybrid (liquefied gasolineeum injected) is a mild hybrid and is the world's first hybrid electric vehicle to be powered by an internal combustion engine built to run on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a fuel.^[16]^[17] Hyundai developed the technology and all key components in the LPI Hybrid, together with its local partners including the electric motor, battery and low DC/DC converter.^[18] The lithium-ion polymer batteries, which the LPI Hybrid was the first hybrid to adopt,^[16]^[18] differed from lithium-ion batteries, using a claimedly more stable and fire-resistant dry polymer electrolyte from Korean company LG Chem instead of a liquid or gel.^[21]

The LPI Hybrid came equipped with the 1.6-liter Gamma engine, a {{convert|15|kW|hp}} electric motor, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The LPI Hybrid delivered {{convert|41.9|mpgus}}. Compared to the conventional 1.6-liter model, and considering South Korean gasoline prices, the LPI Hybrid can travel {{convert|39|km|mi}} for the price of one liter of gasoline, while the conventional model would be able to travel only {{convert|15|km|mi}}.^[16] The engine emitted 99 g/km of {{CO2}}, which allows the car to qualify as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV).^[16] The LPI Hybrid produced 90 percent fewer emissions than an equivalent standard gasoline powered model, and LPG is a low carbon emitting hydrocarbon fuel that burns more cleanly than either gasoline or diesel, and also is free of the particulates associated with diesel.^[18] The LPI Hybrid shares its powertrain with the Kia Forte LPI Hybrid.^[19]

The Elantra hybrid comes with an "Eco Guide" tree icon meant to coach the driver into developing more eco driving habits. The CVT has an optional "E (Eco-Drive)" gear to maximize fuel efficiency.^[20] The LPG Hybrid was dropped in Australia due to lack of demand, increase in emphasis on brand image and change in focus to cleaner diesel engines.^[21]

{{anchor|fifth generation|MD|UD}} Fifth generation (MD/UD; 2011–2015)

The fifth-generation Avante debuted at the 2010 Busan International Motor Show in April 2010. It was codenamed "MD" for the sedan,^[26] "UD" for sedans manufactured in the US, and "JK" for the coupe. It featured a 1.6-L gasoline direct-injection engine, producing 103 kW (138 hp) and 167 Nm (123 lb-ft) torque, mated to a new 6-speed automatic or manual transmission. For markets such as the Middle East, the 1.6-L engine was a MPI version that delivers 128 hp. The Israeli market received the Elantra, with a 1.6 GDI 132 hp coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission only. The design continued Hyundai's "fluidic sculpture" styling theme first seen in the 2011 Sonata. The new model went on sale in August 2010 in South Korea, and began selling between end of 2010 and early 2011 as a 2011 model.^[27]^[28] The US version of the fifth-generation Elantra debuted at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. It is powered by a new 1.8-L Nu engine producing 148 hp (145 hp-PZEV) and 131 lb-ft (130 lb-ft-PZEV). The fuel economy was aided by a low drag coefficient of just 0.28. The Nu engine block is made of aluminum instead of the previous cast iron.

EPA's estimated gas mileage 40/29 was questioned by Consumer Watchdog, a Santa Monica CA consumer group. USA Today writer Jefferson Graham claimed to get combined city/highway mpg of 22 mpg. However, a real-world test by Popular Mechanics showed significantly better fuel economy than EPA estimated MPG.^[29] Also, The Truth About Cars editor tested real-world MPG, leading them to give Consumer Watchdog a thumbs down.^[30] EPA mileage estimates were originally {{convert|29|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} in the city and {{convert|40|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} on the highway but were revised to {{convert|28|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} in the city and {{convert|38|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} on the highway due to a series of testing procedural errors in November 2012.^[31] The underpinnings of the second-generation i30 and Elantra were similar in their configuration and makeup. The similarities between the second-generation i30 and Elantra continued in front end and suspension characteristics.

It was available in two trim levels, GLS and Limited. Premium features included heated front and rear seats, proximity key entry with electronic push-button start with immobilizer, and touch screen navigation.^[32] US 2011 sales reached 186,361 units, up 41 percent from 2010.^[33] The Elantra was crowned North American Car of the Year at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, over the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Passat.^[34] The Elantra was crowned South African Car of the Year for 2012. At the 8th Manila International Auto Show, the Elantra was crowned as the Philippine Car of the Year, the first Korean car maker to win the award.^[35]

Hyundai Elantra 1.8 GLS won the WesBank's Car of the Year in South Africa^[36] and North American Car of the Year at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.

In 2013 for the 2014 model year, the Elantra sedan received significant updates. The GLS trim was changed to SE and an all-new Elantra Sport was now available with a more powerful 2.0 liter GDI engine.

Exterior enhancements include new front and rear styling with tinted taillights and L-shaped fog light housings. Limited and Sport models included projector headlights with LED accents and LED taillights. New wheel designs were available for all trims, including the base SE, SE with SE Preferred Package, Limited, and Sport models. A driver's blind spot mirror was added and a new Driver Selectable Steering Mode is standard on the Limited and Sport models.

Interior enhancements include raised HVAC vent locations and new HVAC control design; 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen radio with backup camera on the SE Preferred Package, Limited, Sport models; updated navigation system; increased center armrest location; and straight pull gear selector with leather boot.

Elantra Langdong

Elantra Langdong (朗動) is a longer version of Elantra for the Chinese market. Released in August 2012, the Langdong sedan is {{convert|4|cm|in|abbr=on}} longer and {{convert|1|cm|in|abbr=on}} wider than the Elantra sold in other markets. Its hexagonal front grille was replaced with a chrome wing-shaped version.^[37]^[38] The design was based on the Wind Craft concept.

The vehicle was unveiled at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show. Production models included a choice of 1.6-liter MPI engine rated {{convert|127.4|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|15.9|kgm|0|abbr=on}}, 1.8-liter MPI engines rated {{convert|146|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|17.8|kgm|0|abbr=on}}; six-speed manual and automatic transmissions.^[39]

{{anchor|Coupe|JK}} Coupe (JK; 2013–2014)

For the 2013 model year, a coupe based on the sedan debuted. The coupe featured a continuation of Hyundai's Fluidic Sculpture body design language, with more aggressive styling than the sedan.^[40]

The vehicle was unveiled at the 2012 Busan International Motor Show. The production model included a 2.0 Nu GDi Engine with a 6-speed transmission.^[41]

The Elantra Coupe was discontinued after the 2014 model year in the US due to poor sales, so the brand could focus on the sedan and GT models.^[42]

{{anchor|sixth generation|AD}} Sixth generation (AD; 2016–present)

Following the September 2015 launch of the Avante in South Korea, the sixth generation Elantra was announced to be released for sale in February 2016 for the 2017 model year in North America.^[46] Two trims are present in the 2017 model release: SE and Limited (Value Edition and Sport released later). In India, the AD series Hyundai Elantra launched on August 23, 2016 with gasoline and diesel engine options. Its gasoline variants displaces 2.0 liters, while the diesel engine is a 1.6-liter unit.^[47]

The design of the car has been changed to a more conservative appearance. The "fluidic sculpture" design that persisted across the Hyundai portfolio since 2011 is gone in the sixth generation Elantra. The car is now more like a fastback with its roofline sloped from the windshield to the rear of the car and it has less curves overall with pentagonal head and tail lights, a hexagonal grille, and redesigned body panels and bumper emphasizing straight lines along the body. The windshield is drawn back from the hood further than the prior generation, making for a more traditional sedan look. The interior is also less curved, with a cockpit, audio/temp controls and glove compartment in a single bow line across the dash. This was done without reducing the interior cabin space of the prior generation at 110.2 cubic feet (while the Elantra is sold under the compact class, it classifies as a mid-size sedan according to the EPA.)^[48]

Newly introduced for 2017 is the ECO Trim, a package which replaces the standard engine with a lower displacement Turbocharged 1.4-liter DOHC Inline-4, {{convert|128|hp|kW|abbr=on}} Kappa engine along with a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission that improves MPG use for eco driving customers.^[49]^[50]

Also new, the SE model has been noted to come standard with less features compared to the prior generation trim level, and includes a {{convert|147|hp|kW|abbr=on}} 2.0-liter Nu four cylinder engine and mated to either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission: The SE Popular Equipment package which includes alloy wheels, cruise control, automatic headlights, and touchscreen stereo with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support; and a Tech Package (that requires the Popular Equipment package) which includes LED daytime running lights, blind spot and rear cross-traffic alert system, proximity key/push button start, hands-free trunk access, and TFT monochromatic cluster display (replacing the LCD cluster that comes standard).^[46] In North America, the SE Popular Equipment package was not available on SE models with the 6-speed manual transmission.

In the middle of the 2017 model year, steering wheel audio controls become standard equipment across all trims. A mid-level Value Edition trim was also added. On top of the Popular Equipment and Tech Package for the SE, it included a power adjustable driver's seat, auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power sunroof, and automatic up driver's power window.

Packages for the Limited Edition includes a Limited Tech Package with a power sunroof, touchscreen stereo with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, heated seats, and ClariFi module to enhance interior car audio; and the Ultimate Package (that requires the Limited Tech Package) which adds automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, smart cruise control, lane keep assist, and memory presets for mirrors/driver seat adjustments.^[46]

Elantra Sport

Roughly halfway through the 2017 model year, Hyundai released a Sport model for the North American market. The Sport slots between the Eco and Limited models and is differentiated externally by different headlights and taillights, ground effects, a more aggressive front and rear bumper and dual chrome-tipped exhaust outlets. Under the hood, the Sport features a Turbocharged 1.6-liter direct-injected four cylinder producing {{convert|201|hp|kW|abbr=on}} and {{convert|195|lbft|Nm|abbr=on}} of torque. Transmission options include a 7-speed dual clutch automatic with manual shift mode or a traditional 6-speed manual. Additional modifications for the sport include a flat-bottomed steering wheel, red stitching on the seats, shift boot and steering wheel, larger front brakes, 18" alloy wheels, an independent multi-link rear suspension, a thicker front stabilizer bar and a steering ratio tuned for a quicker, sportier feel.

2019 Facelift

Hyundai has extensively facelifted its 2019 Elantra sedan model. The 2019 model received a new exterior look, new safety features and an infotainment system with revised center-stack controls. The new redesign will have triangular headlights and redesigned taillights. The pricing and release of the redesigned elantra will be announced later this year.^[51] It has the Safe Exit Assist feature like the Santa Fe.^[52]^[53]

On September 6, the facelifted Avante was launched in South Korea and became the 5th best-selling car in the South Korean market. The sales were 5,488 cars.

Naming disputes

Mitsubishi Motors Australia complained that the Hyundai Elantra was too close to the Elante trim level, which was last used on the 1991 Magna. The British Lotus and the South Korean Kia said that the Elantra name was too close to the Lotus Elan and its Kia counterpart. In 2001, both the Elan and the Elante had ceased production but the Avante's renaming remained necessary as Audi owned the Avant name in Europe. There are also disputes about the chassis codes for the 1996–2000 and the 1999–2000 model years. Hyundai states that the codename of the 1996–98 Elantra is RD and not J2, and the 1999–2000 Elantra's codename is RD2 and not J3.{{Citation needed|date=July 2017}}
