2025 Hyundai Elantra Review

Hyundai has elevated the compact sedan to new heights, offering a compelling choice for drivers who seek a modern and sophisticated driving experience without compromise. The 2025 Hyundai Elantra in Gilbert AZ makes a statement with its sharp, sculpted lines, a wider stance, and a distinctive front grille. 

A sleek profile and available sporty accents give the Elantra a dynamic presence on the road.  New for 2025, the SEL Sport model wears a special gloss black rear lip spoiler and gloss black mirror caps. The 2025 Elantra N wears a cool wing-type spoiler in gloss black. 

A large trunk accommodates the family’s gear. SEL and higher trims have the handy hands-free Smart trunk release. Rear seats can fold flat to create a large cargo area in this spacious Hyundai sedan.

Inside you'll find a modern and refined interior designed for both driver and passenger comfort. High-quality materials, comfortable seating, and an intuitive layout create a welcoming atmosphere. Solar glass helps fight the strong rays of our Phoenix desert sun. 

As the dressiest standard model, the Elantra Limited wears a handsome H-Tex leatherette upholstery. Limited Elantra features include a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, and an 8-speaker Bose system. It also has the largest dual screens and Dynamic Voice Recognition.  The Elantra Limited HEV adds seat memory, mirror memory, and ventilated front seats.

The N Line adds sport seats with a combination of cloth and H-Tex upholstery.  Elantra N models cover their sport bucket seats in leather and microsuede.  All four of these top trims have Hyundai ambient lighting. This adjustable feature offers 64 colors to really personalize your Hyundai Elantra in Phoenix.

Under the hood, the 2025 Elantra offers a range of powertrain options to suit various driving needs. A fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine will deliver impressive Elantra MPG for those who prioritize economy, while the more potent hybrid powertrain will offer a blend of performance and sustainability. Two turbos offer fast and faster ways to enjoy life behind the wheel in an Elantra.

Leading its segment, the Elantra Hybrid Blue is the star with its 54 mpg combined. On the other hand, the Elantra N wins the race with its 2.0L turbo four performance. Slotted in between, you’ll find the fun N Line with its 1.6L Turbo and 7-speed dual clutch transmission.

No matter your choice, the Elantra is a fuel efficient sedan with a smooth and responsive driving experience:

• Standard: 147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque

• N Line Turbo: 201 horsepower, 195 lb-ft

• Hybrid: 139 horsepower, 195 lb-ft

The 2025 Elantra is equipped with advanced technology features to enhance your driving experience and keep you connected. An intelligent infotainment system seamlessly integrates with your smartphone via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

The HD radio system starts out with a 4.2-inch driver’s screen and an 8-inch display audio screen. This can be upgraded to a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch navigation screen with available Sirius XM. This upgrade includes NavTrAffic and NavWeather as part of SiriusXM Data Services. 

Standard for up to three years, BlueLink is your ticket to connected car services in this Hyundai sedan. Two USB-C ports are on the front row while the second row has access to more USB-C ports. An available Wi-Fi hotspot can keep everyone connected on the go.
