Plusses and minuses

While the body design is visually pleasing, the low bumper makes head-in parking nerve racking. The base model has several nice features, but the owners' manual is written for every model, making it hard to figure out how my car actually works.

I don't understand what I am supposed to evaluate under this heading.

Good value for the cost.

4.5/5

Overall, I love this car. It’s comfortable, it looks good. It feels good. This is my second Elantra and both models have been mostly outstanding. I do have my concerns around some small quality issues. Issues I’ve seen across other Hyundai models being a Hyundai technician n’ all. Recently took the HEV on a cross country road trip and it did great though. Even with some small issues, mostly some noises here and there, a shifting issue, there is nothing that creates a lot of worry about the larger reliability of the car. The gas mileage is incredible and nearly unbeatable.

Donna' s 2026 Hyundai

I am very pleased with my new Hyundai Elantra Hybrid. The only down sided is the amount of plastic body parts.

Love all the bells and whistles

I got a hybrid because I wanted to ease the financial load of gas. The MPG is best in class, though at the cost of HP, to the point where it feels kind of sluggy. It takes some time to get used to, but after that it's a smooth ride. The sport mode is very fun. The features are plentiful, and it's a great time learning a new capability. This is my first "big car" purchase, and, coming from a 2010 Corolla, I'm impressed with the technology. Android Auto/Apple Car Play is wired only, and at first it bothered me. But now I see that wired connections never overheat or overcharge your phone, and the connectivity is seamless. My one complaint (which I cannot ignore or settle with) is the USB-A port. Recently, the connection to Android Auto is intermittent. It'll cut off and on repeatedly. I tried using 4 different cables and the issue persists. It's really annoying when navigating, and at worse unsafe as sometimes I have to play with the wire while driving to get it connected again. It's disheartening experiencing this with a brand new car.

We like the car, but it does have issues that have not been resolved or that represent bad design choices on the part of Hyundai.

Stop sending me surveys

I was extremely happy with my service. You should give everyone in the service department a raise.

My new Hyundai is in the repair shop needing a major repair due to issues that "slipped" through quality control at the factory. My family has bought several Hyundai's over the years for a variety of reasons to include benefits other brands don't offer. Now: my military discount was rejected on the car (Hyundai) before this and for this car, no more 3-year/36,000-mile Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance Program, no introductory Bluelink or Sirius. Lastly, in addition to costing more, it is incredibly difficult to find a white hybrid in Texas - ended up settling for a darker color because there were no white ones available in S.A. or nearby. Will be looking at other brands for our next vehicle.

A pleasure to Drive - but the manuals are a grad-level course!

I enjoy driving the Elantra - we have about 3,000 miles on it mostly from 350 mile round trips. A few all day on the road trips - 7 hours. I'm 5'8" tall and my wife 5'2" tall. Light weight folks. The seats are very comfortable for us. Air quality control is excellent. Mileage on the long trips has been about 53-54 MPG . Around town ( very hilly) the MPG is closer to 45. It is red - they go faster - I have the ticket to prove it! (Actually it is the "blue" model) The manual is thick and to set the options takes a good amount of reading and study - (Yes, I have Ph.D. , but still the manual is a project in itself) No negative comments - all positive.

Mostly great

Vehicle was pretty good. Found some faulty electrical issues (door locks not working), some problems with some of the weather stripping on the door. Took multiple tries to find a wire that worked with carplay.
