2011 Hyundai Elantra [MERGED]

[Starex_Gold]

Sabi rin naman nung friend ko sa HARI based on observation pumasok daw sa 5th gear yung Elantra 1.6 A/T sa D mode.

[boybit]

And the phantom black is back on the game


Now this is disappointing. Kaya pala medyo malakas sa gas yung Elantra.

Sa Tucson kasi ZF tranny din pero nakasulat sa owner's manual "The transaxle will automatically shift through a 6-gear sequence"

elantra tranny is A6 GF1

[MaKuWiTo]

Mga Sir, gusto ko po sana ng bronze 1.8 sa elantra... lalabas po ba sa 1.8 ang bronze na kulay ng elantra?
thank you po...

[boybit]

hi guys, just got rain gutter from wheels e. rod , 1500 lang, and they quote me 1st 1 k pms for 2100, semi synthethic w filter

[mda_]

I seriously doubt na hanggang fourth lang siya pag D mode. Masyado lang nga sigurong swabe yung shifting. Best way to check is to ride it from 0 to past 100 kph and count the shifts to be sure. Di mo rin naman magagamit yung 6th kasi sa city driving esp edsa unless 3am na. Hehe

[locoroco777]

if the shifting of the elantra is similar with the accent....well, all I can say is goodluck sa pagbilang hehe...nung tinestdrive ko yung accent parang golfcart lang eh...parang isa lang ang gear... except nalang nung ginamit ko yung manual mode...

[renzo_d10]

Ako rin, I highly doubt that it won't reach fifth or sixth on D-mode. Probably what's written on the owner's manual is just a mere typographical error. To prove it otherwise, someone should do a test on both D and sequential shift mode. Yes you may not reach sixth on our daily metro manila traffic occurrence that's why someone should test it off on wee hours, on very long roads or on our local expressways.

It is also said that by having 4-gears, you would reach a maximum efficiency in fuel. WRONG. By having more gears, you would have a better efficiency although gear ratios and what not would still be relevant. Point is, the lower the RPM is, the efficient your car would be ... on long runs. That's why as you can notice, those 7-speed CVT City's back then we're more efficient than its 4 A/T competitors. Also, the CVT Altis of today is more efficient that the Altis that was still pre-facelifted.

Well, atleast for the top of the line variants, though.

Hyundai's manumatic transmissionsfor the accent and tucson and elantra actually prevent you from effing up your tranny. They are not fully manual overrides, it will not allow you to downshift drastically (ex from 6th to first gear at full speed) nor undergear (enter 6th gear at speedsbelow
100 kph). Its actually more of a guided manual option wherein you have some manual control over the shifting, but the car will still actually shift for you still when it senses that your shifting will greatly strain the engine and tranny. It's not for sport, or for full manual control. Ideal for short bursts/ quick downshifts or cruising at hiway speeds

every sports mode has these kind of transmission management. even with honda. at least its half way to become full manual

4 gear sequence or six gear may have the same 1st and final gear ratio ang important is the final gear ratio, usually adding gear will be smoother shifting cause the gear ratio are closer to each other. it may save a few ml of gas that maintains rpm increase in the tachometer while speeding. may be the simple way to test if it six speed is to compare the tach reading of the 2 mode of function at certain speed . just as starex gold said. the speed i think is 120 km/ h.if its not typo error, i dont think this transmision is unreliable. in fact hyundai claims that it has lesser moving parts thus making it more durable than conventional a/t tranny. but then again as a whole it has best epa rating than the rest of the compact car w 1. 8 engine. even though it claims to have or better fuel milage than most of 1.8 or even 1.6, the smaller displacement always win in FC in philippine condition. because of our traffic situation, stop and go because of jeepney, tricycle, bus, etc. imagine it takes me 30 to 40 min. to travel 2 km distance

[boybit]

btw the final 6 th gear is meant to be the efficient gear or the resting gear of engine but not the fastest gear. in fact u can attain more speed on the 5th gear than 6 th except downhill.. especially those with smaller displacement. with kia carens i seldom use the six gear manual traveling from manila to vigan. u can use the six gear only on cruising for 100 to 160 for whole express way. and with fifth i can reach 200 km /hr or more, i doubt you cant reach an average speed of 100 km/ hr for the whole express way. its not like in the u.s. that u can maintain 100 km/ hr for 2 to 3 hrs. the fact is bigger engine except those extremely big, is more durable and effeicient in highway in u.s. but here in the philippinesis durable but to the expense of more fuel to burn bec. of traffic. i've tried these in the u.s when driving 2.2 liter camry vs. 3.0 liter v6 sienna from L.A. to Las vegas. 3 to 4 hrs maintain at ave of 100 km/ hr vs. here manila to pagudpud. w/c ave only around 50 to 60 km/ hr.

[boybit]

have any one tried hyundai oil? their fully synthethic is 15w - 50, and it cost 678 pesos, parang semi synthethic lang to, usually full synthetic starts w 5w

[tomatored]

tried the auto shutoff of the headlights earlier, mga 30 seconds bago mamatay yung ilaw. question mga sirs,yung average consumption ko sa tripmeter is 13.8 - 14.9 km/100l. pano i-convert to sa km/l? ano formula? pasensya na mahina sa math. hihihi

Pagbaliktarin mo lang,example 100 /13.8= km/l

13.8L/100km = 7.2km/L

14.9L/100km = 6.7km/L

Worse than I expected. Ganyan FC ng Tucson ko kapag pure hataw driving ako. Pero average city driving palang ng Elantra yan.

More FC database please

[Athan_07]

14.9L/100km = 6.7km/L

More FC database please

12.5L/100km = 8km/L FC ko pag sa traffic...route recto and taft nga pla 1.6 manual sakin

[mda]

Parang ang taas ng FC nito ah.

Baka inaccurate naman yung gauge?

These are supposed to be 40MPG cars na diba? Or baka tuned talaga for more highway than city driving...? :O

[ReyMatt]

According to my Elantra's trip computer, city FC is around 7-8 km/L, highway is 12-13. I use Road Trip app in my iPhone everytime I refuel. From June 17-28, I travelled 482 km and used up 33.69 L fuel, so that makes it 14.31 km/L. 66% of that along SLEX-ACTEX-CALABARZON

[Starex_Gold]

These are supposed to be 40MPG cars na diba? Or baka tuned talaga for more highway than city driving...? :O

Iba kasi ang environment sa USA kaya di pwede pagkatiwalaan yung 29MPG city at 40MPG highway..

[tomatored]

ouch! malakas pala sa gas ang elantra. pero feeling ko nga di accurate yung sa trip computer. kailangan pa magexperiment. thanks sa mga nagconvert ng km/100l to km/l.
