Priced at $25,100, the 2025 Hyundai Elantra is $1,150 cheaper than last year's model, marking a significant decline, though Hyundai has reduced several features.
While the automaker did not mention any changes, a quick glance at the equipment list reveals that the company has stripped away technology and comfort features. As a result, the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster has been replaced with analog gauges and a 4.2-inch multi-information display. The front seats' heating has also been removed, while the 10.25-inch infotainment system has been replaced by a smaller 8-inch screen that lacks navigation.
Finally, the Elantra N starts at $33,950, which represents a $250 increase. It seems that the engine remains unchanged, so drivers will find a familiar 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 276 hp and 391 Nm of torque.
Speaking of engines, the base models feature a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 147 hp and 179 Nm of torque. The N Line takes a step further with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 201 hp and 264 Nm of torque.
The Elantra Hybrid also features a 1.6-liter turbo engine, but its combined output is much less impressive at 139 hp and 264 Nm of torque. Of course, the hybrid model focuses on efficiency.
