★ Top Answer
Each 2011 Hyundai Elantra model is equipped with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine that operates using a timing chain. Hyundai claims that the timing chain is maintenance-free, quiet, and durable. With a lifespan estimated to exceed 250,000 miles, most drivers prefer this feature over a timing belt, which needs to be replaced regularly (typically between 60,000 and 100,000 miles). The trade-off, though, is that replacing a timing chain is considerably more costly. Should the chain become stretched or damaged, the repair could amount to as much as $3,000. Nonetheless, with proper maintenance, vehicles equipped with timing chains often outlast other components.
