EV Channels Review
The reviewer compares the 2023 Hyundai Elantra gasoline and hybrid models, highlighting key differences in driving dynamics and features. The gasoline Elantra, in SEL Convenience trim, is praised for its refined ride quality, comfortable seats, and adequate power for daily driving, though interior noise levels are noted as slightly higher than expected for the segment. The hybrid Elantra, in Limited trim, impresses with its smoother ride, attributed to the independent rear suspension, and a quieter cabin when operating in EV mode. The reviewer finds the hybrid's powertrain more engaging due to the six-speed dual-clutch transmission's torque delivery, which minimizes the need for downshifts. While both vehicles offer good value, the hybrid is favored for its superior fuel economy (achieving 46.2 MPG compared to the gasoline's estimated 30+ MPG on the same loop) and a more refined driving experience, making it the preferred choice for the reviewer.
