The 2023 Hyundai Elantra provides excellent fuel economy at an affordable price

The 2023 Hyundai Elantra is a popular compact sedan for Nigeria’s office workers known for its spacious interior, a long list of standard safety features, and an impressive warranty. It offers a range of models to choose from, including efficient hybrids and a high-performance variant. This vehicle can seat up to five people and is available in seven different trim levels. The most popular model is the Hybrid Limited DCT, which starts at 32 million naira and comes with a Hybrid 1.6L I4 engine and Front Wheel Drive. This Elantra is estimated to deliver 49 MPG mpg in the city and 52 MPG mpg on the highway.

New sedan cars with excellent fuel economy are currently difficult to find, but Hyundai still provides the Sonata and Elantra models. The Elantra model has recently been completely redesigned for the 2021 model year. The Elantra N, featuring an exclusive 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a host of sporty enhancements, was introduced for the 2022 model year.

The 2023 Hyundai Elantra has been praised by TrueCar for its spacious interior. The cabin boasts over 40 inches of headroom and approximately 42.3 inches of legroom, making it comfortable for passengers of all sizes. The backseat is also quite roomy with over 37 inches of headroom and 38 inches of legroom, providing ample space for most adults. Although the trunk openings are small, both the Elantra and the Elantra Hybrid have over 14 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity.

The 2023 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid’s fuel efficiency may have earned it a first-place ranking, but that comes at the price of uninspiring performance. Its powertrain consists of a single electric motor paired with a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine that generates a combined 139 hp. Hyundai says that the Blue trim is the most efficient, earning 54 mpg combined city/highway.

The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited isn’t far behind, rated for 50 mpg combined. The non-hybrid Elantra still offers good gas mileage compared to its peers, though many of those cars have bigger standard engines. The Elantra’s four-cylinder is capable of 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission.
