Hyundai Elantra fuel consumption

Expert answer:
Quick answer
A Hyundai Elantra often clocks 30 to 36 mpg combined, with Eco trims exceeding 40 mpg on highways if you drive moderately.
Detailed answer
Hyundai’s Elantra competes among top compacts, featuring a 2.0L or 1.4L/1.6L turbo in various trims. Standard models see around 30–34 mpg combined, while Eco or hybrid versions can surpass 40 mpg on highways. City traffic or aggressive merges reduce overall mpg.
Regular maintenance—filters, oil changes, correct tire pressure—helps keep it near published figures. Many owners find the Elantra blends comfort, modern tech, and respectable efficiency. If your commute is heavily urban, using gentle stops and starts optimizes each tank. The car’s lightweight build and aerodynamic shape keep mpg healthy, making it a strong contender in budget-conscious categories.
