The 2024 Hyundai ELANTRA Hybrid is an excellent midsize sedan. Its hybrid drivetrain provides added fuel efficiency, and you can enjoy a spacious interior with plenty of infotainment technology during your drives. This vehicle is ideal for small families or traveling professionals who need extra trunk space. Let’s take a closer look at the new upgrades available for the latest ELANTRA Hybrid model and showcase some of the highlights. Feel free to contact our team to get the purchase process started.
There are two trims in the 2024 ELANTRA Hybrid lineup: Blue and Limited. Both come with the same 1.6-liter engine, so you’ll find the main differences inside the cabin. If you want to explore another option, Hyundai continues to sell the gas-powered ELANTRA.
The ELANTRA Hybrid Blue has cloth upholstery, heated front seats, and all the standard infotainment and safety features we reviewed. In addition, it has a push button start and remote keyless entry, so you’ll have an easier time accessing your vehicle and getting on your way. Remote start gives you the option of heating or cooling your cabin before you get behind the wheel.
The Limited has a more upscale feel. You can relax on leather-upholstered seats with ventilation for the driver and front-seat passenger. The driver’s seat is also power-adjustable. You’ll gain all the infotainment upgrades, a sunroof, and ambient interior lighting.
When it comes to pricing, the MSRP for the Blue trim starts at a competitive $26,250, making it ideal for budget-conscious buyers. Even the upscale Limited trim carries a relatively modest starting price tag of about $29,450.
The 2024 ELANTRA Hybrid’s engine is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder unit. Combined with an electric motor, the powertrain can generate 139 horsepower. It has a dual-clutch six-speed automatic transmission and is available in front-wheel drive only. As you’d expect, fuel economy is one of this vehicle’s standout features. You can achieve 51 mpg in the city and 58 mpg at highway speeds. These numbers drop slightly with the Limited trim to 49 mpg in the city and 52 mpg on the highway. However, you still get a much more efficient ride than a standard gas-powered car.
This powertrain is ideal for tackling busy city streets. However, it can also quickly shift the ELANTRA Hybrid to accelerate on the highways of Auburn, Alabama. The powertrain can generate an impressive 195 lb-ft of torque, which is a lot for a midsize sedan.
The car’s trunk is spacious, providing ample room for your grocery load, with a capacity of 14.2 cubic feet. Moreover, the vehicle has a hands-free liftgate, making loading and unloading your things easier. The ELANTRA can seat adults in both rows, but if tall adults are in the rear row, your realistic capacity will be for four people. But if three kids occupy the second row, you can fit five people. The standard cabin includes cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats, but more upscale options are available if you require them.
If you need more space in the cabin, you could consider larger Hyundai models, such as the compact KONA Electric crossover or IONIQ 5. These vehicles also have the advantage of all-electric powertrains but offer you more room in the cabin.
The ELANTRA’s infotainment system is user-friendly thanks to its straightforward menus and well-positioned display. The touch screen measures 10.25 inches and pairs with a six-speaker stereo. Other standard features include a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, and USB ports. You can monitor your ELANTRA’s performance with the 4.2-inch digital driver display.
The ELANTRA Limited trim steps it up with a premium eight-speaker sound system and wireless device charging. The voice recognition feature is also a helpful feature if you want to adjust your infotainment settings without taking your eyes off the road.
Hyundai has equipped this hybrid sedan with numerous standard driver-assistance features. You and your family can feel secure with forward collision warning, forward and reverse automatic braking, and pedestrian detection. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert also come standard. Many other automakers offer these features only as optional upgrades. The driver attention monitor checks your reaction times and other driving behavior to warn you when you need to take a break. The vehicle exit warning alerts you to approaching traffic when you open the door.
The Limited trim comes with Hyundai’s Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. This feature adjusts your speed on the highway to keep you at a safe distance from other motorists, even in heavy traffic. You can also take advantage of cyclist detection, intersection assist, and a lane-centering feature for highway driving.
Hyundai provides enhanced peace of mind with the ELANTRA, offering a five-year factory warranty and a 10-year powertrain warranty. These warranty periods are longer than most other automakers’, which usually provide three-year factory and five-year powertrain warranties.
