2025 Hyundai Elantra

Hyundai gave its compact sedan a thorough makeover last year, so few changes are in store for the 2025 Elantra. It continues to offer value and variety, from the affordable base SE to the upscale and efficient Hybrid Limited and the track-tuned Elantra N. But the Elantra’s beauty goes deeper than its sharply creased skin, fuel economy ratings and performance numbers. It is a technologically advanced choice in its segment, offering more impressive infotainment and driver assistance systems than you’ll find in some luxury cars. Beyond that, the robust package of standard ownership benefits alone makes the Elantra worthy of a spot in your driveway.

Edmunds spotlight: Hyundai Owner Assurance

A mark of distinction for Hyundai models, the automaker’s Owner Assurance program adds plenty of peace of mind. It includes the legendary 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance stops. Elantras with Bluelink connected services include a free three-year subscription to features like remote engine start and a panic notification function. Hyundai even lets you bring the Elantra back within three days of purchase to exchange it for another model from the automaker's lineup.

Competitors to consider

There aren’t as many compact sedans as there used to be. But those remaining pose significant competition for the 2025 Elantra, such as the Honda Civic, Kia Forte, Mazda 3, Nissan Sentra, Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Jetta.
