13177 Supersonic April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 (edited) Quoting "Ironhead" from gearhead.in: <quote> Alternator Management System (AMS) - AMS constantly monitors the state of the battery. It automatically disengages the alternator during periods of low electrical loads and a full battery charge. As a result, the load on the engine is reduced and fuel consumption lowered <end quote> The adding of this AMS in the elantra it is due to VES? From 2018 elantra?

Lotr8445r 5th Gear April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 That pricing, I rather add a few k then get a VW Touran or Renault Grand Scenic.Isnt Touran is 116k there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 You are comparing elantra with what others model?It's VFM proposition right now is too superior to any other vehicle. Barring me having some irrational dislike for it, I can't see any other alternative. If not a pi vezel with honda sensing but that's going into the 9+k per year depre range. 8k and below it's really only elantra at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kia7200 5th Gear April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 That few mth ago, COE should be in the 40-55k region? Now COE dropped so much, and price instead of going down, had gone up instead??? Am i missing something here? Did the OMV shoot up? How come ADs do such things now? They wanted to, but BM said MUST take min 50K for one year loan, so my fren took this lor... Ya exactly. Bm car price r goin up despite coe is dropping. Reliable std go up liao so car price also go up lo What Tucson? SUV Vs MPV? Bummer.If Hyundai had a MPV,I would firstly avoid bloodsuckers from BM,secondly avoid stuck up attitude of cc,and thirdly avoid potential unreliability. But given that Mitsubishi cc is better,I think I would rather go for the Outlander. I like tucson la... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the depreciation is 8K flat or less. Comes with a turbo and lots of premium features. Personally, the interior is unattractive, but different strokes, different folks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 Honda fit yearly dep is like $7k+All the fit variants in Sg whether City, Shuttle etc all 2 airbags except the FL vezel. K3 sx only top of range then 6 airbags. The much derided vios vs the Pi axio also have full airbags. But these are subcompacts, one step down from elantra. I want fuss free so staying away from entry French etc models. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Shuttle FL with Honda Sensing comes with 6 airbags. Have to check the PI offering as there are many variants on the market. My bro in law just bought Elantra, don't feel that it's really that worth it. He regretted not buying K3 instead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldlian987 3rd Gear April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 The current Elantra sold by KM is still using multi port injection engine when most modern cars now would be using direct injection engines. But not sure how significant is the improvement in fuel consumption for direct injection engines. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bro in law just bought Elantra, don't feel that it's really that worth it. He regretted not buying K3 instead. Is K3 really much better than Elantra? Curious on your BIL opinion. Why he regret buying Elantra May I know? ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
