The 2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Is A Stylish & Fuel-Efficient Commuter Car

[@charlesworton4020]

Just bought a 2023 Elantra Hybrid... had it about a month now. The vehicle is amazing. Ample power for merging onto highways and freeways, stunning electronics package, 50 mpg around the city. Just about everything on the vehicle can be accessed by voice command. Hyundai really hit it out of the park with this one.

[@ralexandru]

Hello Charles! What mpg are you getting on high motorway speeds (~80 mph)?

[@lordtyranus08]

I recently went to the Washington DC Auto Show and saw the Elantra Hybrid up close, got to say I was quite impress with the interior and the tech. Lot of car for the money.

[@msmith99ffl]

Great review but the term "commuter car" is starting to really bother me. There's no reason this shouldn't be considered a family car. Not everyone needs or can afford an SUV. It wasn't all that long ago that this was the size of a typical family car and we didn't need to take all of our possessions with us every time we left the house. Now, get off my lawn.

Lolol, I definitely see your point. My 1999 Camry is literally this size 🤣 I guess I drive a peasant mobile 🤣

Excellent post, Michael! Sedans are family cars. In most parts of the world such as Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia (China, India etc.), families use sedans, not SUVs.

[@Insomnia_tic]

Hybrid is a good move these days

[@aidensnew8562]

I'd pick the hybrid over the regular gas one. More power, better suspension, amazing mpg, hybrids are low maintenance meaning less oil changes and you almost never need to replace brake pads. Might be a little more on msrp but you'll quickly recoup that in the first 2 years, and if gas goes up to 4-5$+ a gallon given everything going on in the world, a low maintenance flue sipper could be a life saver.

[@robert5008]

There is a trick to get the Hyundai Hybrids to stay in EV mode for a little while. Accelerate the car to one or two miles above the speed you want to drive at. Once you hit that speed let off the throttle and let the car coast down in speed. The EV Mode only should kick in if you have any extra charge in the battery. Once it is in EV Mode turn on the cruise control and drive like a EV. This trick will not work if your in a low state of charge.

Great Review. I don't understand why some many brands don't offer rear console mounted HVAC vents in the US. In Korea, this car has them.

It's funny how important a feature like this becomes. As much as I like the new Elantras quite a bit, but the lack of any backseat features automatically takes it off my list. I drive my kids around all the time and I can't stick them back there with no vents or anything else.

If it doesn't even have those, then the car is truly bad designed. But obvoiusly, the centre consol rear events is nicer.

[@BeanieNinjay0]

So glad Sofyan mentioned the cut line on the hood. I don’t think it’s a big problem with an economy car like the Elantra, but I do see that manufacturers have been getting lazy with cars where that shouldn’t exist in my opinion. The new M3/4, Jag F-Type (one of the worst examples), etc. Ruins the look, and while I get that there are regulations safety standards that often dictate the boundaries of a car’s design, there are also typically work arounds. An example would be the LC500. It had a deployable hood solely for the purpose to achieve a certain appearance, and to avoid that same cut line like this Elantra has between the hood and front bumper.

[@AozoraUltra2006]

I test drove a base Elantra and enjoyed it a lot. I had a job that was very commute heavy and the gas money really racked up, so i really want a hybrid. Mazda 3 is the best to whip around but Hyundai interiors are far more functional and Mazda doesn’t have hybrids

Just got a 2023 Elantra Hybrid Limited. Love the car. My ONLY complaint is the brakelights. Idk if they downgraded from 2022 to 2023 but the brakelights are incandescent and not LED (5:00) . Probably not a big deal to 99% of people but it kinda bothers me considering how LED's look much better, last longer, and have an overall better performance. It's really disappointing considering how almost EVERY car now gets at the minimum, LED brakelights and taillights, even if they have incandescent turn signals and reverse lights. Hyundai does do full LED taillights (including brakelights and turn signals) on models like the Palisade and Tucson, wish they invested a little more on the sedans to give them full LED. Hell, I think even the 2023 Sonata gets full LED taillights and brakelights now. With a unique pattern, they could really change the way the rear of the car looks to other people and in general. Thats just me tho.

The blind spot video in the dash when using the turn signals is very nice, to teach idiots to start using the turn signals.

Traded my 2012 Cruze Eco in on my Elantra Blue Hybrid. Loved my Cruze Eco also. Got really good at coasting down hills here in Ky. For 10 years everytime I filled up my Cruze it was a game to get the best mpg that tank. Pulling every trick in the book the best I achieved was 45 mpg, usually it was around 39 to 40 mpg. Nobody and I mean NODODY could have done better in my Eco. Maybe all Cruze Eco's weren't created equal. My Elantra is getting 55 to 62 mpg. Highway driving my Eco would get 40 mpg average, my Elantra has been averaging 55 mpg. The big difference is in city driving, stop and go or light to light, my Elantra easily hits over 60 mpg and the Cruze drops down in the low 30's or less. The Elantra's motor barely runs in light to light city traffic. Also I would like to add I always checked mpg at the pump, both car's estimates shown on the dash are a little optimistic.

[@jfralick100]

I would not get the hybrid. From experience, in Ohio, when the temps drop below freezing the battery really goes into preservation mode and only goes into EV sparingly. When it was below freezing I averaged about 40mpg. Partly due to preheating my car but still much worse MPG. Now if you keep it in a garage it may still do ok. But at that point the standard transmission will probably be the better bet.

[@thebabytraveller]

@@jfralick100 thanks for the info!

[@jfralick100]

@Austin TA It's all about perspective. 40mpg IS bad when typically I get around 50 mpg in my limited hybrid. I actually have even seen my mpg drop into the upper 30s while under freezing conditions. Which is not surprising for hybrids. This is a common issue for almost all hybrids. At this point, when you compare getting the Elantra hybrid vs the non-hybrid, the fuel savings are not there. So what would be achieved by getting the hybrid? Ventilated seats on the limited model??? All I'm saying is that if she lives in an area where most times of year the weather is very cold, she will not get those savings back very quickly if at all because the regular Elantra can get OVER 45MPG highway in real world tests done by KZbinrs. So let me ask you, why should she get a hybrid that costs about 3 grand USD more when she can buy the regular model Elantra that only gets about 3-5 mpg worse fuel economy in her situation?

[@jfralick100]

@Austin TA fair enough, I'm not familiar with the temps there. All Im saying is that I start to notice a significant difference in fuel economy once the temps start dropping below 40f (~5c), about a 30% decrease in fuel economy under freezing. So as long as majority of the year the temps are above then I would endorse the hybrid! The hybrid also has big pluses too with the suspension and a dct vs a cvt (imo), so I suppose fuel economy isn't everything either!
