One of the most popular compact cars on the road this year is the 2025 Hyundai Elantra. This small sedan is just the right size for city driving and suburban travel, particularly if you have a demanding daily commute. Explore the highlights of this ultra-efficient compact model to see why it’s the right pick for your next vehicle upgrade.

1. Competitive Fuel Economy

The entry-level SE boasts a fuel economy of 32 MPG in urban areas, 41 MPG on the freeway, and 36 MPG combined. Models like the SEL and SEL Convenience get an estimated 30 MPG in the city and 39 MPG on the interstate. This model has a 12.4-gallon fuel tank capacity, which means a full tank of gas can deliver over 500 miles of highway cruising on the base trim. 

2. Easy Keyless Entry

The days of digging a physical key out of your purse or pocket are long gone with the new Elantra. All models have a remote keyless entry system that allows the vehicle doors to be unlocked by pressing a button on the key fob. 

The upper models have a Proximity Key system, which can sense your key fob as you get close to the vehicle and automatically unlock the doors. The Proximity Key also supports the push-button ignition system for added convenience. The Limited model also comes with Hyundai Digital Key 2 Touch, a system that transforms your smartphone into a vehicle entry tool. 

3. Robust Infotainment

The lower tiers are equipped with an eight-inch central touchscreen to manage connected apps from wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The upper trims have a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen with a built-in navigation system for flawless destination assistance. Along with smartphone compatibility, drivers can use Bluetooth technology with integrated voice recognition to make phone calls or send texts hands-free. HD radio is standard for crystal-clear music streaming. 

4. Smart Collision Avoidance

The Elantra comes with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, a system that uses front-facing cameras and sensors to detect impending collisions. When potential impacts are detected, the sedan can intervene with hard braking support to prevent an accident. On the bottom-tier trims, this technology comes with software to detect pedestrians, while the upper trims add cyclist and junction-turning collision detection. 

5. Comprehensive Warranty

Hyundai has your back with a well-rounded warranty package to shield you from expensive repairs during the first several years of car ownership. The limited bumper-to-bumper warranty for a new Elantra lasts for five years or up to 60,000 miles, with a complementary five-year roadside assistance perk. The powertrain is covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles and drivers also benefit from a seven-year anti-perforation warranty. 

Practical features for safety and convenience are the hallmarks of the Elantra, along with warranty perks to bring you peace of mind. Contact Mike Kelly Hyundai in Butler, PA to schedule a test drive.
