The 2024 Hyundai ELANTRA Hybrid is a compact four-door sedan that blends futuristic, eye-catching style and impressive fuel efficiency. This sleek vehicle makes a bold statement on the roads of City of Industry in Los Angeles County, California, and the surrounding Puente Hills area. The combination of stunning style and tremendous value for money is further enhanced this year as a mid-cycle refresh makes the ELANTRA an even more tempting proposition for shoppers in West Covina and Whittier.
There are two versions of the 2024 Hyundai ELANTRA Hybrid to choose from, and it isn’t an easy decision. The first of the pair is the ELANTRA Hybrid Blue, which has all the style and panache you expect from an ELANTRA, but with an even stronger focus on fuel economy than the rest of the ELANTRA lineup. If you are prepared to forgo a little bit of that fuel economy for more features and some extra luxury, the Limited trim delivers all that and more for a relatively modest extra over the cost of the Blue trim level.
The 2024 Hyundai ELANTRA Hybrid Blue and Limited models both get the same ultra-efficient gas/electric powertrain, although the fuel economy ratings for the two trims do differ. The hybrid system comprises a 1.6-liter inline-four gas engine, a 32kW electric motor, and a lithium-ion battery. The combined output of the system is 139 horsepower, which is a little less than the turbo-four in non-hybrid versions of the 2024 ELANTRA. However, the presence of an electric motor means 195 lb.-ft. of torque, which is equal to the performance version of the Hyundai sedan. Power gets to the front wheels through a 6-speed EcoShift dual-clutch transmission. The Limited trim level returns EPA-estimated fuel economy of 49 mpg in the city, 52 mpg on the highway, and 50 mpg combined. If you want the most economy from your 2024 ELANTRA Hybrid, however, the Blue trim level is rated at an amazing 53 mpg in the city, 56 mpg on the highway, and 54 mpg combined.
There’s a lot more to the Limited trim level than slightly inferior fuel economy ratings. Although the Blue model’s standard equipment represents excellent value, the Limited trim offers more in terms of comfort, technology, and safety. Standard Limited features that are not present with the Blue trim include a power sunroof, leather-trimmed seats, ventilated front memory seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment and navigation system, a Bose premium audio system, wireless device charging, rear parking sensors, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Reverse, and plenty more.
The ELANTRA’s interior has a futuristic appearance that is fitting for its striking design. While the passenger’s side has a more understated design, the driver is surrounded by the dashboard and centre console. From the steering column to the passenger-side door panel, a single LED strip spans the width of the car, following the air vent that runs the length of the dashboard. Large passenger volume, especially in the back seat, makes the ELANTRA competitive with more spacious competitors.
The 2024 Hyundai ELANTRA Hybrid provides plenty to think about for anyone shopping for a stylish, affordable, and incredibly fuel-efficient new vehicle. If a small SUV was high on your list of vehicles to consider, the ELANTRA Hybrid makes a compelling argument for you to reconsider.
