The front seats have become 35 mm higher due to the new attachment (not immediately to the floor, but first to a special tubular frame). The steering wheel has added additional height and reach adjustments. A folding hook appeared on the right side of the center console, on which you can hang a handbag. The legacy of the fourth generation of the Hyundai Elantra 2007 model range from its predecessor was a not very convenient trunk lid opening lever, attached to the recess in the driver's door pocket. But the buttons for controlling the electric drive of windows, mirrors, central locking, located on the armrest driver's door, placed at an angle of 45%, which greatly facilitates the work with them.

The back of the sofa is lowered onto the pillows of the back row, forming a high step. Rear speakers placed in the panel rear doors, which does not interfere with the process of loading and transportation of oversized cargo.

Power's survey. and associates, bypassing Toyota cars and Honda.
European premiere in 2007 Hyundai versions Elantra as a 5-door hatchback. Elantra hatchback version sold under own name. A team from the European design center in Rüsselheim, Germany, worked on the exterior of the hatchback.
The fourth Elantra (J4) was published in 2006, and in the same year it was already sold in car dealerships of the Russian Federation. The model was produced until 2011, until it was replaced by a new one. fifth generation model. Throughout its life, Elantra 4 has received automotive awards in various categories. Some automotive experts they even claim that at that time the build quality of the Elantra was higher than that of Honda and Toyota.
H and on the territory of Russia, you can most often find a gasoline Elantra with a 1.6-liter engine (122 hp) and less often a two-liter version (143 hp).
The 1.6 liter G4FC engine belongs to Gamma series with a chain in the timing mechanism. Units produced before 2008 were notable for problems with the hydraulic chain tensioner. They appeared after 50,000 km of run. extraneous sounds when the engine was running, the engine was difficult to start, and it periodically stalled. The reason was to jump the chain a couple of links. If the internal combustion engine was not repaired, then its subsequent operation led to an even greater jump, which already helped the valves and pistons meet. The first symptom of a jump should be considered the appearance of a "diesel" sound when the engine is running.
After 120 thousand kilometers, the Elantra often has to change the fuel pump and the crankshaft position sensor. If at the same run the car began to start with difficulty in cold weather, then most likely it is worth replacing the retractor on the starter.
Every 50 thousand on the Elantra must be changed fuel filter which is located in the tank. throttle body also it will not be superfluous to clean during this interval. Elantra J4 engine valves are adjusted by pushers.
On the fourth Elantra, either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission was installed. On the mechanics weak point worth considering release bearing, which closer to 80 thousand km began to whistle. The owners also complained about the fuzzy gear shifting. Bearing input shaft The gearbox could start making noise after 100 thousand kilometers. Sometimes the fork on the hinge can creak.
The automatic transmission of the Elantra IV causes less complaints than the mechanics. Perhaps the only complaint about the "automatic" should be considered shocks during gear shifts on runs above 100 thousand km.
The front rods and stabilizer bushings go about 50 thousand km, the rear ones - about 70 thousand.
Rear suspension can knock after 40 thousand km. These sounds can be caused by: floating silent blocks, breakup levers or cups rear shock absorbers. First, floating silent blocks fail due to oil leaking out of them, which will be clear from the characteristic dry squeak in the rear suspension. As a temporary solution to the problem, some motorists used a syringe with a needle to drive engine oil under the silent block rubber, but due to the presence of microcracks in it, the oil gradually flows out, and the creak returns. Although 10-15 thousand such a silent block is still moving away.
The front shock absorbers can leak after 60 thousand kilometers, although they can also knock on a dry one, the rear ones go almost twice as long. Thrust bearings more than 100 thousand km are easily cared for, the same number live and ball joints in the front arms.
If there is no damage, then the CV joint anthers can live up to 150 thousand km. If you miss the moment and continue to ride with a damaged boot, then after the “grenade” fails, official services will offer you to change the axle shaft assembly, but in fact you can buy a separate CV joint for Elantra 4.
The steering rack may begin to knock at a run close to 150 thousand. Usually wears out right sleeve, which is why the rake starts knocking, either on worm shaft The EUR has already worn out the elastic coupling. By the way, the manufacturer changed the clutch in 2008, but on the 2008 models, the EUR sometimes failed. As for the steering rods and tips, their resource is about 100-120 thousand km.
Even on the fourth Elantra, calipers often rattle. To solve the problem, it is enough to choose a guide with a rubber boot at the end (for example, from Mazda), of course, the installation of new guides should be preceded by cleaning and lubricating the caliper with the installation of a new repair kit. If the Elantra stopped working brake lights with a run of more than 150 thousand, then most likely the problem is in the oxidized switch contacts.
Elantra bodies are galvanized, and therefore rust will not appear for a long time in places of paint chips, and if the car has not been in an accident, then it will not have problems with the body. Of the minor flaws, one can note the abrasion of the protective layer inside rear arches, and worn out (due to the sand constantly flying at them when moving) thresholds behind the front arches.
outdoor door handles after five years of operation they crack and may even break off. If the key is not used from time to time, then the tailgate lock cylinder will turn sour and stop working. On some cars, moisture appears in rear lights. The headlight washer may require replacement after 100 thousand kilometers.
After four years of operation, a crack may appear that occurs when the driver's window is raised. The essence of the problem lies in the destroyed rivets on the guides. Somewhere in the fifth year of life, the Hyundai badge on the steering wheel will partially or completely peel off.
Creaks in Hyundai showroom Elantra J4 can occur due to the outer lining under the windshield, glove box, trim in the center of the ceiling near the pillars, front passenger panel. The knock coming from the rear of the cabin is caused by the transverse rods of the luggage compartment lid.
In winter, the interior of the Elantra may not warm up well. This is due to the damper motor that regulates heat-cold, which needs to be replaced.
An interesting fact - if you place mobile phone next to the cigarette lighter dashboard starts to flicker, some electrical consumers will turn off and relay clicks will be heard. All this lasts about 10 seconds. If the phone is removed, the problem disappears.
In general, in its class, the car turned out to be very reliable, and in some places even surpassing its classmates. Worth adding to this low cost spare parts, and their great resource, and it becomes clear that this car is very good. The only thing that when buying is to give preference to Hyundai Elantra J4 with automatic transmission. Inexpensive and unpretentious car- here is a very brief and accurate description of the Elantra 4.

You may never have known, but the Elantra is the first vehicle built by the South Korean automaker Hyundai on its own platform.
Known today word elantra, which at one time was called one of the modifications of South Korean Hyundai cars, does not have any specific translation and was created artificially at the very beginning of the 90s. This approach was driven by the fact that the Asian automaker wanted to give its new model a memorable name that would be memorable for consumers in the European and North American automotive market.
According to one of the many versions, the name of the model was made up of several components. For example, translated from French and German, the word "Elan" means "swiftness", "inspiration", which ultimately resulted in such a definition as "assertive machine". This concept was ideal for this model, since the car was quite frisky, reliable and had interesting design, which in the complex stood out among the cars of that time
The Hyundai Elantra was created as an alternative to the numerous available Japanese cars. It first appeared in the fall of 1990 and a year later it almost ousted its sister Hyundai from the market.
Stellar. The first generation of this vehicle was produced between 1991-96, and its appearance had a rather casual look.
The next generation Elantra was produced from 1996 to 2000 inclusive. This car had an elegant body and a spacious modern salon. Ultimately, this vehicle received six various modifications formed from various combinations of several bodies. The third generation of the car, which is also called hd, entered the market in early autumn 2000. First of all, this modification was directed to consumers from the North American automotive market.
The fourth modification j4 began to be produced in 2006 and continues to do so to this day. In addition, the fifth generation appeared in 2011. Each model has its own unique features and deserves the attention of motorists.
Technical features Elantra j4
This vehicle meets all the requirements environmental standards Euro-4 and it is customary to classify it as class C. Often in the Russian Federation this car is referred to as hyundai Elantra New or elantra 2007.
As a rule, the modification is equipped with a four-cylinder engine with operating parameters of 1.6 (122 hp) or 2.0 (143 hp) liters. In Russia, the vehicle is available only with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine modification. Also, for our state, it is possible to purchase an Elantra in such trim levels as BASE, CLASSIC, COMFORT and OPTIMA.
Speaking about the body, it is made according to the type of a four-door sedan, it is load-bearing, all-metal, equipped with a welded metal structure with hinged doors, fenders, and a trunk lid. The transmission of this model was made according to the front-wheel drive model, and it is equipped with drive shafts of various sizes. Basic equipment equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, which can be replaced with a four-speed automatic transmission.
Suspension, brakes and steering Hyundai Elantra
Talking about front suspension South Korean car hyundai elantra, it is made according to the MacPherson type, is independent, spring-loaded, has anti-roll bars, and also has hydraulic shock absorbers. The same applies to the rear suspension, supplemented by the effect of passive steering.
The brake system on this modification of the Hyundai is equipped with floating calipers, and the front brake mechanisms are ventilated, drum parking brake mechanisms are mounted in the brake system for the rear wheels. For any configuration provided anti-lock systems ABS, supplemented by an integrated EBD brake force distribution device.
The steering on hd is completely safe and is complemented by an electric power steering with modern progressive characteristics. Depending on the configuration, the steering column can be adjusted based on the angle of inclination and reach, and the central airbag is located in the steering wheel hub.
Description of the salon in the Hyundai Elantra
At the salon in the Hyundai Elantra, the South Korean automaker decided not to save. The front panel is significantly different from a similar element in third-generation cars. The oval monitor has a blue backlight, the display provides information about the functioning of ventilation, heating and other systems. Thanks to modern fastening steel 35 mm higher front seats, it is possible to adjust the steering wheel. A folding hook is installed to the right of the center console, and the control buttons for the central lock, electric windows, mirrors are located at an angle of 45 °, which is quite convenient.
The rear sofa on the j4 is equipped with armrests, pockets are made on the backs of the front seats and in the doors. Vehicle hyundai elantra is distinguished by its spaciousness, as it has become much wider, and the backrest at the rear row of seats can be folded in a ratio of 3/2. Compared with the previous generation, the boot size has become more capacious by 45 liters, and loudspeakers are installed in the rear door panel.
The specifics of the configuration of the BASE and CLASSIC modifications for the Hyundai Elantra
On the domestic automotive market the following modifications are available to the consumer elantra car like BASE, OPTIMA, CLASSIC and COMFORT.
The first included systems such as EBD and ABS, the model is equipped with electric power steering, has a pair of airbags, audio preparation with four audio speakers, and an innovative antenna mounted on the rear window. There are power windows on each door, there is an electric drive system and heated mirrors for the rear view. In addition, this hyundai equipment equipped with a heating system for the front seats, has the ability to adjust the steering columns, is equipped with an immobilizer, air conditioning, stylish all-steel wheels R15 /
The hd CLASSIC package is additionally equipped with a modern audio system with six speakers and its control unit located on the steering wheel. In addition, this j4 modification has trip computer, driver and passenger armrests in the rear seats.
Features of OPTIMA and COMFORT trim levels for Elantra
In the list of completing the OPTIMA modification at hyundai car j4, which is quite similar to complete set CLASSIC, is additionally equipped with a pair of side airbags, and the so-called curtain airbags are also equipped here. In addition, the modification is equipped with active head restraints, fog lights, electric drive for laying rear-view mirrors.
The COMFORT kit is an addition to the OPTIMA modification for the elantra. The list of additional mechanisms included power windows with a harmless mode, an ESR course safety device, climate control with an air quality control design. Also this equipment Hyundai has a stylish leather trim for the steering wheel and gear knob, has R16 alloy wheels, a burglar alarm on the remote control unit.
This is a class C car, that is, it is a direct competitor for cars such as Mitsubishi Lancer, Ford Focus, Mazda 3 and other classmates, and there are a lot of the latter. It is worth noting that most of the products sold in the world cars belong to B and C class. Such a high mass character allows the manufacturer to make good money on successful model, but if it fails, the consequences for the plant can be catastrophic. The 4th generation Hyundai Elantra is a great example of a successful project.
The Korean auto industry is reminiscent of Japanese in its evolution. If you look at the first generation of the Elantra, the car will make a rather “gray” impression, but the 4th generation Hyundai Elantra, which appeared in 2006, became, perhaps, the first representative of the genus, which could already compete equally with Japanese and German cars.
An interesting fact is that such a small, by American standards, car was primarily developed for the States! And this is for a country where a 3.6-liter engine is considered small! It's all about the price, in the US the price of a two-liter Elantra with a gun was $14,500. Even a person who works in the United States in the most ordinary and low-paid job by American standards could raise money for a new car within 6-9 months.
Hyundai Elantra in the line of proposals occupies a “cell” between the more compact Accent / Solaris and the more presentable Sonata.
Review Hyundai Elantra IV
The fourth-generation Hyundai Elantra surpasses Ford in its dimensions Mondeo first generation, and at one time he belonged to more high class D.
Hyundai Elantra dimensions: 4505mm*1775mm*1490mm.
Unlike the previous - the third generation, the fourth Elantra was produced only in the "sedan" body.
The curb weight of the two-liter Elantra with automatic transmission gears - 1299 kg. People who moved to the Elantra from domestic cars appreciate the excellent aerodynamics, at speeds up to 120 km in the car is quiet. We also note that at a speed of 100-120 km, the consumption of gasoline with a 1.6l engine does not exceed 7.5l. The most powerful modification with a two-liter engine is shod with tires - 205/55 R16.
Wheelbase Elantra - 2650mm, large wheelbase significantly increases the stability and directional stability of the car.
Salon and Equipment
The body of the Elantra, increased in comparison with the third generation, made it possible to increase the volume of the cabin compartment. So in front, at shoulder level, it became more spacious by 22mm, and in the back by 40mm.
The front seats have risen by 35 mm due to the special tubular frame of the new mount.
Already in the minimum base Hyundai equipment included two airbags, air conditioning, electric all four windows, hydraulic power steering and audio preparation, including 4 speakers.
The most packaged Elantra is distinguished by the presence of six Airbags and electric power steering. According to journalists, with increasing speed electro amplifier Hyundai is filled with heaviness - this improves the feeling of unity with the car. The steering wheel was given additional adjustments for reach and height.
Also, the expensive Elantra is equipped with active head restraints, which, in the event of a rear impact, support the head of the driver and front passenger, which minimizes the likelihood of injury in the neck.
Inside the cabin, there are no hints of budget savings. The oval front panel monitor has a blue backlight. The display, in addition to traditional data, displays information on the ventilation and heating system. The climate control keys are large, translucent. On the right, on the center console, a folding hook was attached, designed for a ladies' handbag.
The backs of the rear row of seats fold in a 3/2 ratio, moreover, they can be “filled up” from the side of the trunk.
The trunk volume of the fourth Elantra has been increased from 415 to 460 liters. And although the fourth generation Hyundai Elantra inherited from its predecessor an uncomfortable lever for opening the trunk lid, located in the recess of the driver's door pocket, but the buttons for controlling the electric windows, mirrors, central locking, built at an angle of 45 into the armrest of the same driver's door, greatly facilitate contact with them.
Specifications Hyundai Elantra
The Hyundai Elantra was supplied to the CIS market with two gasoline engines. Both engines were equipped with a variable valve timing system, which made it possible to produce very significant power. So gasoline 1.6 at 6,200 rpm develops 122 hp. - this is more than some 1.8 engines of those years.
Top two-liter Hyundai engine issues 143 horsepower. Both Korean units could be mated with a five-speed manual gearbox, less often with a four-speed automatic. This machine is not the most efficient and significantly reduces the dynamics. The Elantra kit with 1.6 and manual gearbox accelerates the driver and one passenger to hundreds within 11s, the same operation, but with automatic transmission, is performed in 13.6s.
Despite the fact that the speedometer is graduated to 220 km, maximum speed the fastest modification 2.0l manual gearbox - 199km.
Elantra with mechanics and a 1.6 engine is capable of developing 183 km.
Load capacity 475kg, clearance (ground clearance) - 160mm. High ground clearance is a significant advantage. According to journalists on the go, the fourth Hyundai Elantra is a tougher car than the previous third generation.
Price
Buy Hyundai Elantra at secondary market not so difficult. The cars sold out in a significant number and there are enough second-hand offers. The price of the 2007 Hyundai Elantra is about 340-400 thousand rubles.
As years of operation have shown, the fourth-generation Elantra is a high-quality, relatively inexpensive car to operate with good driving characteristics. The great advantage of the Elantra, as well as a single-platform KIA Cerato is chassis. Ball or silent block can be changed without buying a new lever assembly.
