2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

This car handles so well for a compact sedan. Luxurious interior . The hybrid driving is conservative when you're in 'Smart' mode, and kicks up dirt when you need it while in 'Sport' mode. The mileage for the Limited trim says 52 highway, but I've been able to get up to 63 mpg when using the battery just right. I'm a very happy driver so far! I'd say the only gripe I have so far is with the tablet display. It can lag from time to time when it gets warm outside. It'll keep the backup camera on when I drive away, making me have to hit 'Radio' or 'Media' to navigate from that screen. Other than that I'm very pleased with it so far. It's technically sound and is a smooth ride.

2023 Hyundai Elantra Blue 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

Purchased 12/31/22 from local dealer. I expected to get the fuel economy advertised since I already owned a 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Blue getting 56-62 mpg regularly and just slightly less in Winter months. I was disappointed with the mpg of the 2023 Elantra Blue during the 1st 3-4 months while getting 36 to 42 mpg. however since that time I am now getting 52 to 58 mpg. I cannot explain this. I drive both cars the same throttle response. The Ioniq mpg figures do not vary much all year while the 2023 Elantra seems to have a problem in cold weather. It is June and the 2023 handles well, has great interior features, and the fuel economy is great.
Sporty and savvy!

I’ve only had the car 1 week, but so far I’ve gotten 52 mpg with mostly city driving. I got the limited trim with the leather seats and sunroof. I love it!
Awesome luxury value. And it’s a Hyundai!

My first Hyundai purchase and I have no regrets. Tons of value with unexpected luxury from Hyundai. This car brand has really improved through the years. I got the 2023 Hyundai ELANTRA and limited trim with all the bells and whistles. Phenomenal! Averaging almost 50 miles to the gallon.

I should have learned my lesson with Hyundai. Initially bought a CPO sonata from a dealer that, after over a month battling them and Hyundai corporate for hours and hours (probably 30-40 hours over the month) they took it back after a number of issues the CPO warranty didn't cover and I would be out about 3-4000 dollars to get it into correct condition (sunroof didn't work right, headlights had water in them from a seal breaking, and a slew of other things). The selling dealer took it back and instead of looking at a CPO they had a color I wanted that I could never find, Electric Shadow, in the Elantra. It was brand new, right off the truck so they took the Sonata back and I bought the Elantra limited, and will NEVER buy another Hyundai again. After I got it home and after the honeymoon phase, I took it to the car wash and got it cleaned and vacuumed. I noticed water in the headlights. HOW? A brand new car with the same issues as the CPO I purchased from the same dealer. I don't know or care how it happened but it happened. I took it to my local Hyundai dealer (bought this and the CPO from out of state) and they said they would cover it under warranty and the lights cost $3200 for both. A month later and I was able to get this taken care of. 3 year/36k mile maintenance plan was crap. I was approaching my oil change date at 7k miles and called in for an appointment and they couldn't get me in for 2 months... for an oil change! How ridiculous. I know this is more on the dealership than Hyundai, but 2 months for an oil change. It's either wait the 2 months and have over 10k miles on the oil change or pay out of pocket so I paid out of pocket, $80 for a synthetic oil change from a reputable quick (not chain) lube place near me. Throughout ownership I noticed the CVT was jolting at random times. It's either going to die soon or if that's how it's supposed to be, it's just a bad transmission. My paid off 13 year old Prius doesn't have the jolts with its CVT like this one does, which is why after having to shell out $80 for the oil change we (my wife mostly, but I support the decision) decided to sell what we could get it for. We went to the local Hyundai dealer we were going to service at and they gave us quite a low offer for what it was. I went to other dealers and Hyundai and Subaru (right next to and owned by the same owner) gave the lowest by far. Vroom offered the most and I sold it to them, they picked it up and conditioned it and put it for sale. Maybe someone doesn't care about the CVT jolt but I do and I hope the next owner keeps it and enjoys it worry free for years but I doubt that will be the case. I'm sticking with Toyota and Honda. I don't know why I steered from them. I think the lack of technology in their cars was a turn off but I now that they're catching up I'm sticking with them as their reliability is second to none.
