Drive and Handling

The Hyundai Elantra received no major updates for the 2023 model, but the HEV line is worth considering for its performance alone. A 1.6-liter SmartStream engine producing 104 horsepower and 109 lb-ft of torque is backed up with a 32 kW electric motor that boosts the sedan’s takeoff with a significant amount of horsepower and torque. This results in fuel economy as high as 54 miles per gallon on the open highway. With regenerative braking and optimized electrical efficiency, you can get as much power as possible out of your hybrid system before falling back on gas fuel alone. An independent rear suspension helps give this version of the Elantra far more stability and responsiveness in turns than the standard sedan model. Front-wheel drive is the only option, making this compact sedan best suited for city and highway driving. Two trim packages, the Blue and Limited levels, allow you to choose between the height of luxury or optimized fuel efficiency. Choose the Limited trim to upgrade to 17” wheels, a tilting sunroof, and leather seats. Driveline traction control ensures that slippery road conditions won’t cause you to spin out.
