2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HYBRID LIMITED - POV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited is presented as a compelling option for fuel-conscious buyers, offering an impressive EPA-estimated 50 MPG combined. The reviewer highlights its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and advanced tech features for its price point, including standard adaptive cruise control and highway driving assist on the Limited trim. The facelift for 2024 significantly improves the exterior styling, particularly the front fascia. While not a performance vehicle, the hybrid powertrain delivers adequate power for daily driving and merging, with a seamless transition between electric and gasoline power. The reviewer notes that the car encourages an engaging, almost gamified, hypermiling experience, with real-world results often meeting or exceeding the EPA estimates, with one instance reaching 67 MPG. Downsides include a single auto-up/down window and the potential for road noise, especially with the larger 17-inch wheels, though NVH is noted as improved. The reviewer concludes that for its $30,000 price, the Limited trim offers excellent value, though a hypermiling enthusiast might opt for the more efficient Blue trim and swap to 16-inch wheels.
