Hyundai Elantra Diesel SX Updates

Wednesday, 24 June 2020 02:38 PM Hyundai has launched the BS6-compliant Elantra diesel in India, with the SX variant priced at Rs 18.70 lakh and the SX (O) AT variant at Rs 20.65 lakh. The new 1.5-litre diesel engine produces 115hp and 250Nm of torque, paired with 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions. This move strengthens Hyundais commitment to diesel engines in the BS6 era. I think this is a smart move to cater to diesel enthusiasts.

Wednesday, 24 June 2020 09:52 AM The Hyundai Elantra diesel SX variant comes well-equipped with features like automatic headlamps, an electric sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It also includes safety features such as six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, and a rear parking camera. This makes it a compelling choice in the premium sedan segment. I believe the feature list is quite impressive for its price.

Saturday, 14 March 2020 08:30 PM Hyundai has confirmed that the Elantra diesel will share its 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine with the Kia Seltos and the new Hyundai Creta. This engine produces 115hp and 250Nm of torque and will be available with both 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions. This engine swap is expected to improve fuel efficiency.

Saturday, 14 March 2020 07:17 AM The BS6 Elantra diesel will be offered in two variants: SX MT and SX (O) AT. The SX (O) AT variant adds features like a 10-way powered driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, LED headlamps, and a wireless phone charger. These additions make the top-spec variant quite luxurious. I think the extra features justify the higher price.

Saturday, 14 March 2020 10:44 PM Hyundai has decided to axe the base S petrol variant of the Elantra, making the SX MT the new entry-level variant. This change has resulted in a price reduction for the remaining petrol variants, making them more competitive. The diesel variants are expected to follow a similar pricing strategy.

Friday, 13 March 2020 12:43 PM The new 1.5-litre diesel engine in the Elantra replaces the older 1.6-litre engine, which produced 128hp and 260Nm of torque. Although the new engine has slightly lower power and torque, it is expected to offer better fuel efficiency. This change aligns with the industrys shift towards more efficient engines.

Friday, 13 March 2020 09:38 AM The Hyundai Elantra diesel is expected to have a significant impact on the market, especially with the discontinuation of the Skoda Octavia and Toyota Corolla Altis. The Honda Civic diesel will be its main competitor in the premium sedan segment. I think this competition will drive innovation and better value for customers.

Friday, 13 March 2020 07:23 PM Hyundai has been working on introducing the BS6-compliant diesel engine for the Elantra since the facelift was launched in October 2019. The companys commitment to offering both petrol and diesel options sets it apart in the market. I believe this strategy will help Hyundai retain its customer base.

Friday, 13 March 2020 08:31 PM The Elantra diesel SX variant will include advanced safety features such as six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and rear parking sensors. These features enhance the overall safety and comfort of the vehicle. I think safety should always be a top priority, and Hyundai seems to be on the right track.

Friday, 13 March 2020 09:52 PM Hyundais decision to introduce the BS6 Elantra diesel is seen as a move to cater to the demand for diesel vehicles in the premium sedan segment. The pricing strategy and feature list are designed to make the Elantra a strong contender in this market. I think this is a well-thought-out strategy to maintain market share.
