Our sedan with the best gas mileage is the 2025 ELANTRA Hybrid, which offers up to an impressive 58 MPG Hwy. This also makes it the most fuel-efficient model in our entire lineup that isn’t an all-electric or fuel cell vehicle.⁠

2025 ELANTRA Hybrid Blue: 51 City/58 Hwy/54 Combined MPG. 2025 ELANTRA Hybrid SEL Sport and 2025 ELANTRA Limited: 49 City/52 Hwy/50 Combined MPG. All figures are EPA estimates and for comparison purposes only. Actual mileage may vary with options, driving conditions, driving habits and vehicle's condition.

Hyundai has several vehicles with a starting MSRP below $25,000, like the 2025 ELANTRA, 2025 KONA, and 2025 VENUE. To help you decide which is the best choice for you, ask HeyHyundai.⁠

MSRP excludes freight charges, tax, title, and license fees. Freight charges and actual dealer prices may vary. Vehicles displayed may contain optional equipment at additional cost. Accessory items shown may vary according to model and illustration.

Hyundai has several sedans with a starting MSRP below $30,000, like the 2025 ELANTRA, 2025 ELANTRA Hybrid, and the gas-only 2025 SONATA. To help you decide which is the best car for you, ask HeyHyundai.⁠

• Each service must be obtained within 1,000 miles or 1 month of the designated time listed in the Owner’s Manual. A customer’s failure to redeem services prior to the expiration of the applicable mileage/term will not void any unredeemed future services.
