Does 2012 Hyundai Elantra have true fuel injection or a direct fuel discharge system?

Yes, it has true fuel injection system.

If by this you mean, direct injection system, then no. But that is a true fuel injection system, too. The difference is that is sprays fuel directly into the cylinders instead of into the airstream upstream of the valves like the 2012 engine does.

Thank you for the clarification. I finally ‘get’ it.

Sorry I took so long to reply.
