I got the SEL so not hybrid but i get 46 mpg at 75 mph, 52 mpg at 60 mph and 38-40 mpg in the city. The driver assist features are great, i basically dont have to do anything when i get on the highway until i leave the highway or if the lines break. It's the best handling car I've driven by far, I've driven a couple of bmws and Mercedes. I also have a 100k mile warranty on everything and a lifetime powertrain warranty which was the biggest selling point tbh

And it's a non-turbo.

My suggestion regarding these things is to keep the lead atta your foot! My brother recently rode with me and he could not believe the easy egress for such a physically small exterior.

I got a similar set-up, (I believe), with a 2017 Kia Niro PHEV with the dual-clutch and 1.6 liter engine. Been changing fluids regularly and so far nothing amiss. Transmission fluid was quite easy to change because if you overfill it will drip out, so you know when you are done. I think best to be wary of the dual clutch "actuator" fluid which seems to get dirty quite fast. But also very easy to check, drain and refill. Oh, and phenomenal fuel efficiency. I get about 67 mpg mixed driving, 50 mpg highway (hybrid mode).

I own one of these and love it. The gas mileage is UNBELIEVABLE. If driven smart you shouldn't have any trouble getting 50+ miles out of you Elantra in the city. The "Smart" mode keeps you fuel efficient and the "Sports" almost turns it into another vehicle. I tend to use sports mode when merging onto the highway and it's really pretty neat to get that extra torque with the push of a button.

[@alienwalk]

My only experience with a CVT really is on my new-ish Civic, and after getting used to it, I honestly like it better than every other automatic transmission I've used. Now when I drive cars with automatic transmissions, it bugs me how the torque drops off momentarily while it shifts gears, to the point where I'd rather have the "lag" (albeit minimal) with more constant torque of the CVT. Am I crazy?

[@ptythefool]

I sell Toyotas and I can wholeheartedly tell you that I couldnt be more unbothered by Hyundai. The engine fire recalls should tell you all you need to know. I love the look on people's faces when they realize the market on a 10 year old Rav4 is higher than on their 3 year old Tucson.

[@sammyt3514]

Ideally, I wouldn't get either a CVT or a DCT in my car, but if I have to choose, I'd much sooner pick the former. Both have their drivability issues, but CVTs are far more reliable, especially the eCVT used in Toyota hybrids (which is a different design than regular CVTs). Hyundai has had a lot of issues with the DCTs used in their gasoline vehicles (I think there's even a class action suit) and there's no reason to think that the DCT on this hybrid would fare any better. And this is not a Hyundai-specific problem either since there's no car brand that I can think of that hasn't had issues with their DCTs! So, I'm surprised by Scotty's positive review to say the least, especially since he always trashes Hyundai's! Maybe the 'big' owner standing by was a factor, lol.

[@chickenfarm09]

Yea remember the Fiat 500L came out with DCT and had a lot of problems. The later models were switched to a 6 speed Aisin automatic.

This is the same drivetrain as in my 2018 Ioniq Hybrid. It's a very good proven system, never had any issues after 50000 km. Still smooth as silk. While not super quick off the line there is plenty of passing power, which is the critical measurement in the real world.

I have a 2017 Elantra non-hybrid (don't really know if they made a hybrid then). I have 117,000. Coil pack issues around 52,000 miles...i was told the 2018 had a recall but not the 2017...coil packs were replaced under warranty though. Last winter, around 105,000 miles, it started having cold start issues. Thing sounds like it wants to die until it's warmed up. Someone recommended i try keeping it in my garage to see if that helps, but I don't think that person recognizes their privilege because my house doesn't have a garage 😅 outside of these issues, it hasn't been a bad vehicle. My biggest complaint is the lack of power. Trying to merge to the interstate is a dangerous game in an Elantra 😅😅 will probably be my one and only Hyundai.

[@rickperoni250]

have you driven the competition. The Corolla drives like crap, the Civic is nice drive but I wrote of Civic when I owned one and it was plain terrible. Mazda 3 is nice but owned one and just never warmed up to it. Every car is going to have something that breaks somewhere along the line. I suggest you drive the competition, and you might change your opinion. Unless you buy German, it is about as nice as you can get and if you buy German, you will realize what problems are on a car, they are constant issues but great cars to drive. A Jetta drives like a dream compared to a Corolla but it will be nothing but a headache.

I live 9 months of the year in the Philippines and my wife had a couple siblings that needed cars. I bought them (3 total) Hyundai Accent 1.6L turbo Diesels. The get about 60mpg and have that same 6 speed automatic transmission because that 1.6L turbo diesel is the hottest thing there is without paying double the price in Luxury tax. It accelerates like a Mustang, you can feel the G force even when the car has 4 passengers. I like it so much I bought one for myself for $9k with 20k miles on it. I would buy another one in the US in a heartbeat but they will never be sold there.

I'm telling you all. This is a great car and I'm 100% happy with my Hyundai Elantra 2021 Ult Tech package. Best part is it's all paid off already so I'm only paying gas on it. Paid 33k (Canadian) after tax etc. Even in 3-4 years I can still sell it for 17k. So really I'd be looking at a $16,000 cost for the car over the 7-8 years I have it. That works out to 190/month for a new car with an amazing warranty. I haven't been without a few issues. My driver Seatback bolts came loose, meaning my driver seat would move/shift around on turns. Replaced under warranty. Other issues were recall issues that were fixed. (Exploding seatbelt pretensioner) and something to do with the main brain/cluster. Both quickly fixed at no cost. Otherwise, even after three years I look forward to driving it like it was the first day. Not a single time have I looked at another car for what I could afford at the time and be like, I should have got that one... My next car when I sell this one will 100% be an Elantra N or another N something depending on what's around.
