2008 ELANTRA PERFORMANCE FEATURES
ENGINE
- The 2.0L DOHC 16-valve engine
with Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) has more horsepower than a Toyota Corolla and more torque than both
the Corolla and Honda Civic. This gives the engine a very broad powerband, coupled with high fuel efficiency and
low emissions.
- The Elantra is certified as a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) vehicle in the green states which few models
in the entire automotive industry earn. Outside of the green states, the Elantra is available in Ultra Low Emission
Vehicle (ULEV) configurations.
TRANSMISSION
- The Elantra comes standard with a precise five-speed manual gearbox. A smooth four-speed automatic with a gated
console-mounted floor shifter is available as an option and includes an overdrive lock-up torque converter for
excellent fuel economy at freeway cruising speeds.
- The Elantra is rated by the EPA to get up to 33 MPG highway for both the manual or automatic transmission.
4-WHEEL INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION
- Elantra delivers a comfortable
ride and responsive handling thanks to a front MacPherson strut suspension with coil springs and gas shock absorbers,
and multi-link suspension and gas shock absorbers. A 23.0-mm diameter front stabilizer bar and 17.0 mm rear stabilizer
bar helps reduce body roll when cornering, and tunes the Elantra's at-the-limit handling for maximum predictability. |
