TORSION-RICH 2.0-LITER NU GASOLINE DIRECT-INJECTION ENGINE

In a section where GDI technology isn't generally found, Hyundai is expecting the inclusion of the 2.0liter GDI engine is going to be quite popular with Coupe consumers seeking efficiency and affordability. Raising the throw from 87.2 mm to 97 mm receives the 1.8liter Nu motor up-to 2.0 liters. This motor within the Elantra Coupe provides more torque and increased response in comparison with an identical MPI engine.

Equipping the Elantra Coupe with the 2.0liter Nu fourcylinder engine with GDI guarantees an excellent balance between performance and fuel-economy.

Using D-CVVT on both camshafts has many benefits in comparison with using it merely in the intake camshaft. These benefits include a 2-percent improvement in efficiency (via improved volumetric efficiency), 2-percent improvement in fuel-economy (via decreased pumping losses) and a 30-percent decrease in hydrocarbon emissions. Within the valvetrain, roller swing-arms and hydraulic lash adjusters decrease valve-driven friction to assist in improving fuel-economy one-percent compared with direct valve tappets.

A two - period Variable Intake System (VIS) allows intake air to be directed between short and long intake manifolds, leading to a wide, linear power band. This causes a fourpercent improvement in efficiency.

Electronic throttle control replaces the cable and mechanical linkage with almost instantaneous computerized control. This system precisely controls engine torque and air-intake, enhancing response, drivability and fuel economy.

SOPHISTICATED STANDARD SAFETY SYSTEMS: A PART OF HYUNDAI's GUARANTEE COMMITMENT

The Elantra Coupe requires compact coupe security to another level with the launch of Vehicle Stability Management (VSM). Much like the one within the Hyundai Equus, VSM optimally manages the MotorDriven electric Power-steering (MDPS) and also ESC (Electronic Stability-control).

If the driver brakes on a surface (slick on one side, dry on another) and also the vehicle would like to pull in a single direction vSM functions. VSM detects this state and sends a signal-to the MDPS to implement steering help. VSM counters the pull and instantly supplies eight Newton meters of counter steering pressure. VSM responds exactly the same manner during abrupt lane changes or quickly cornering.

Hyundai Elantra Coupe features six airbags - including front seatmounted sideimpact, dual front, and front and rear-side curtain air-bag.
