2024 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid

There was a time when small, economical cars were derided for their uninspired styling, cheap interiors and weak performance. In the last decade, Hyundai helped change that by delivering vehicles that greatly exceed expectations. The 2024 Elantra Hybrid is a prime example. This is a stylish small sedan that offers high fuel economy as well as stylish looks and the latest in technology features. It also receives a significant round of updates this year to make it an even more compelling pick for a small sedan.

For 2024, Hyundai has given the Elantra Hybrid a subtle but significant styling refresh. The new front end features a split grille for an even sleeker appearance, while the rear gets a more refined taillight design and a few more styling tweaks. Inside, there are a few new features that include additional USB charge ports, a redesigned wireless charging pad, and new side-impact airbags for rear passengers.

Toyota has two similarly priced vehicles worth checking out: the Corolla Hybrid and the Prius. The Corolla is a sensible but somewhat bland hybrid sedan, while the latest Prius has sleek styling and quick acceleration to go along with its outstanding fuel economy. Neither is as roomy inside as the Elantra Hybrid, however. Hyundai's Sonata Hybrid is another good option if you want a roomier and more refined interior.

Hyundai keeps it simple by offering just two Elantra Hybrid trims. There's nothing wrong with going for the base Blue trim for overall value. But we think you'll be happier over the long term by getting the Limited. It's pricey but comes with some desirable features that you can't get on the Blue.
