All About The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid

The U.S. Department of Energy provides a great definition of a hybrid vehicle. “Hybrid electric vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors, which uses energy stored in batteries. A hybrid electric vehicle cannot be plugged in to charge the battery. Instead, the battery is charged through regenerative braking and by the internal combustion engine. The extra power provided by the electric motor can potentially allow for a smaller engine. The battery can also power auxiliary loads and reduce engine idling when stopped. Together, these features result in better fuel economy without sacrificing performance.”

The Elantra Hyundai Hybrid comes in two trim levels.
Blue: the trim with the best MPG
Limited: the premium trim that treats you with high-end features

The Elantra gets you farther on each tank of gas. Wow! These gas savings are impressive.
Blue: 53 City / 56 Hwy / 54 Combined
Limited: 49 City / 52 Hwy / 50 Combined

These amounts are estimates and actual mileage may vary with options, driving conditions, driving habits and the vehicle’s condition.

The Elantra Hybrid holds up to five passengers. The total interior volume is 113.6 cu. ft. This is split into 99.4 cu. ft. of passenger volume and 14.2 cu. ft. of trunk capacity.

Some of the features you can get: 6-way adjustable driver seat including height adjustment, 4-way adjustable passenger seat, heated front seats, dual USB ports, dual fully automatic temperature control, remote keyless entry system with alarm and so much more.

The Elantra Hybrid is loaded with the latest Hyundai safety technology and tons of features to make your drive easier.
Apple CarPlay or AndroidAuto: Depending on the trim level, you can connect your iPhone with Apple CarPlay or use AndroidAuto to access all your smartphone apps on the touchscreen.
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse: When reversing into a parking spot, if the sensors detect a possible collision, you’ll get an audio warning.
10.25-inch Touchscreen: Available hi-res screen is part of the single digital panel that shows information and entertainment.

Better MPG: Shifting some of the work from the engine to the battery and electric motor improves mileage versus the gas-only Elantra.
Regenerative braking: Brakes convert energy into electric power, which helps recharge the battery.
Added responsiveness: At lower speeds, the turbo engine and electric motor combine for low-end torque you can feel.
No plugging in: Since the battery recharges as you drive, there’s never a need to plug into an outlet.
