Elantra GT is the third vehicle in Hyundai's 7/11 product

initiative (seven new or redesigned models in the next 11 months). The

first two vehicles in the initiative were the Veloster Turbo and

refreshed Genesis Coupe. The fourth vehicle is the Elantra Coupe.

LIGHTEST FIVE-DOOR HATCHBACK IN THE COMPACT SEGMENT

Elantra GT's widespread use of high-strength steel provides a

37 percent increase in body stiffness at a lower body weight when

compared to the outgoing Elantra Touring model. High-strength steel

allows the suspension to work optimally. At 2,784 pounds, the automatic

transmission Elantra GT is lighter than its competitors, while offering

more interior room than Focus, Mazda3, Golf and Matrix. Elantra GT is

the lightest five-door hatchback in the compact segment. It is 175

pounds lighter than Focus, 151 pounds lighter than Mazda3 and 222 pounds

lighter than Golf.o This weight-efficient unibody architecture allows

Under the hood under the hood - [hot-rodder talk] 1. The underlying implementation of a product

(hardware, software, or idea). Implies that the implementation is not intuitively obvious from theappearance, but the speaker is about to enable the listener to grok it., Elantra GT is powered by a

1.8-liter Nu

four-cylinder engine with 148 horsepower and 131 lb-ft of torque (145

horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque for Elantra PZEV PZEV Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle ).

Thanks to advanced

clean engine technology, most Elantra GTs sold in California, Oregon and

several Northeast states are certified as Partial Zero Emission Zero emission refers to an engine,

motor, or other energy source, that emits no waste products that pollutes the environment or

disrupts the climate. Zero emission engines Vehicles

(PZEV) by the EPA. The PZEV Elantra GT is as clean as many hybrid

electric vehicles, helping Hyundai meet its environmental commitments.

Elantra is also available as an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle A ULEV or Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle

is a vehicle that has been verified by the California Air Resources Board to emit 50% less polluting

emissions than the average for new cars released in that model year. (ULEV).

Additionally, Elantra GT has an ActiveECO System that modifies engine

and transmission control to smooth out throttle response and increase

real-world fuel economy by up to seven percent.

Key Engine Components

* Aluminum block and head

* Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing Variable valve timing, or VVT, is a generic term for an

automobile piston engine technology. VVT allows the lift or duration or timing (some or all) of the

intake or exhaust valves (or both) to be changed while the engine is in operation. (D-CVVT)

* Variable Induction System (VIS)

severs the mechanical link between the accelerator pedal and the throttle. Most automobiles

already use a throttle position sensor (TPS) to provide input to traction control, antilock brakes,

fuel injection, and

* Offset crankshaft

The Nu engine features an aluminum cylinder head, crank and block

with a cast iron cylinder liner. The 1.8-liter Nu also offers Dual

Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT) camshafts and hydraulic

engine mounts for optimum power, efficiency and refinement. Using CVVT CVVT Continuously

just on the intake camshaft. With D-CVVT, there is a two percent

improvement in performance (increased volumetric efficiency), two

percent improvement in fuel economy (reduced pumping loss) and a 30

percent reduction in hydrocarbon emissions. In the valvetrain, roller

swing arms and hydraulic lash adjusters reduce valve driven friction to

improve fuel economy by one percent, compared with direct valve driving.

The Nu engine also features a maintenance-free silent timing chain

system to enhance durability and improve Noise Vibration and Harshness

(NVH NVH Noise, Vibration and Harshness

System (VIS) versus aluminum, enables switching between long and short

intake manifolds, resulting in a four percent improvement in

performance, a 15 percent reduction in cost and a 30 percent reduction

in weight.

Another tool Hyundai engineers have incorporated into Elantra GT is

an electronic throttle control. The electronic throttle control replacesthe conventional cable and mechanical linkage with fast responding

electronics. This system accurately controls air intake and engine

torque, improving drivability, response and fuel economy.

The Nu four-cylinder engine also has an offset crankshaft design

that reduces friction between the piston and cylinder piston and cylinder

ELANTRA GT ARCHITECTURE

Elantra GT is fitted with a MacPherson strut front suspension, with

coil springs and gas shock absorbers. The rear suspension is comprised

of a lightweight coupled torsion torsion, stress on a body when external forces tend to twist it about

an axis. See strength of materials. beam for enhanced steering stability

and monotube shock absorbers. A 22 mm diameter front stabilizer bar

helps reduce body roll when cornering. Elantra GT is tuned for added

feel, responsiveness and control, while the Elantra sedan is tuned for

comfort. Modifications to the GT include higher rear spring rates, a

stiffer twist beam and Sachs dampers for improved body motion control.

These changes create driving dynamics which are sporty and comfortable.

In addition, two suspension packages were developed to optimize tuning

for the two different tire sizes. The Elantra GT's Style package

offers a sportier suspension calibration that is optimized for its

lower-profile P215/45R17 tire.

Behind the wheel, drivers benefit from Hyundai's all-new Driver

Selectable Steering Mode. With three operating modes to select -

Comfort, Normal and Sport - this innovative system allows drivers toadapt Elantra GT steering characteristics to varying driving preferences

and road conditions any time they choose. Comfort level offers the

greatest ease of steering and is ideal for city and parking

environments. Sport is optimized for higher-speed highways or winding

roads, while Normal is ideal for a mix of driving conditions. The Driver

Selectable Steering Mode not only adjusts power assistance levels in

each mode, but also on-center build-up feel and steering build-up curves

throughout the steering range, for a very natural, progressive feel.Steering damping characteristics, active return gain, and high frequency

friction levels have also been optimized for Elantra GT in this system.

Even more, Elantra GT's turning diameter of 34.8 feet is better

than Matrix, Focus and Golf.
