2008 Hyundai Elantra X20 from Malaysia - Comments

Fuel consumption is bad. Not what the dealer claimed. Averaging 8KM per liter. Dealer claimed 11KM per liter. Driving less than 3000RPM and less than 100KM/Hr on normal city driving. After performed 1st 1000KM service, they checked the timing for fuel consumption, but still the same.

For the price of less than MYR94,000, and within this class, it's a good buy.

This car has good handling, is very comfortable. Comes with leather seats.

However, during morning start-up, the engine is very noisy. After awhile, it quiets down. Very quiet inside the cabin. Response is not that good.

Hey man.. bring your car to KahBintang PJ (opp 222) or HQ (Jalan Ipoh).

They should able to troubleshoot your problem, as they have all the so-called experts over there!.

By the way, most cars >2L onwards will have marginal fuel/km.

I eventually get around 8-12Km mostly on most brands when driving inside the city (plus all the congestions in Klang Valley).

However, is when taking the car on highway and maintaining speed, you get a good reading.

I managed to get my 2008 Hyundai coupe from full to half tank for a distance of 290km while driving constant 140km for the whole journey (290km stretch).

Best of luck..

I have owned Elantra X20 for 5 months, lowest fuel consumption is 10.5KM/L, average is 11.4KM/L for town driving. Normally could reach 500-520KM for 45 Litres petrol for town driving. If highway then easily can hit 600KM. I know few other Elantra X20 owners and they have also hit 10-12KM/L for fuel consumption for town driving. Very surprised your fuel consumption is as low as 8KM/L, which only has 352KM for 44Litres. Your car should be checked.

The engine is bit noisy in the morning during the first 2 minutes after startup, when it is warmed up, it would be much quieter. And hardly can hear the engine noise in the cabin until RPM goes near 3000.

Personally feel very good car to own at such a price.

Very comfortable drive and also for passengers, suspension's shock absorption is good, steady on highway. Drove 140KM/H on highway is not feeling nothing, must drive at 160KM/H only feel fast. I drove 180KM/H on highway for few times.

If your budget is around RM 90K, please this 2.0 car. With this price, the power and space is better than buying Vios, City at RM 80 over thousand. I have no regret for buying this car :)

I got my Hyundai Elantra Incus Sports Edition just 2 months ago.. I'm the 1st and the ones in Tawau to have the car & the 2nd in Sabah, but 1st to have the VS-Style rim than another one.. hahaa! Just like to say, my car is so nice looking, luxurious, spacious, economical, powerful & safest to drive! ;)

Yo...

I am one of the Hyundai Elantra owners here also..

Have owned this car for 1.5 years..

So far everything is good in terms of engine performance, alignment and etc etc..

But noted only one thing - slightly noisy wheel while traveling on the road..

But believe this is the tyre type/brand attached to the car.. no problem if you switch to another brand.. ;)

With a full tank of 53 litres.. the fuel consumption can last for 11 days (inclusive weekend) from my home (Puchong) to office (Port Klang) only. From Puchong to Johor Bharu (to and from) only manage to reached 650km..

Glad to had this good car.. No regrets owning it..

I LOVE YOU X20... :)
