Hyundai came out with the new Hyundai Elantra to compete with Ford and Honda in the compact car division. The Hyundai Elantra mpg and performance are in line with other compact cars, and the good price makes it a viable choice if you are shopping for a new compact car.

Hyundai Elantra models and mpg

Hyundai Elantra mpgWith a starting price of $16,995, the Hyundai Elantra is available as a sedan, coupe or hatchback. Each model is equipped with a 1.8 liter, four-cylinder engine, keeping the gas mileage fairly consistent regardless of which model you select. The standard models come with a six-speed manual transmission that can be upgraded to a six-speed automatic at an additional cost.

Regardless of the transmission, the Hyundai Elantra mpg for the sedan and coupe is 28 in the city and 38 when driving on the highway. If you choose the hatchback, the Elantra GT, you can expect slightly lower fuel economy. The Hyundai Elantra mpg with the GT model falls to 27 mpg driving in the city and 37 mpg driving on the highway.

Engine and performance

Hyundai Elantra interiorCompact cars are not built for performance; they are built to get you from point A to point B while using as little fuel as possible. All Elantra models are equipped with a basic 1.8L four-cylinder engine that produces 131 pound-feet of torque and 148 horsepower.

Due to strict emissions requirements in California, the Elantra is equipped with a more environmentally friendly engine that suffers minimal performance loss. An Elantra in California will produce 145 horsepower and 130 pound-feet of torque, a difference that is not noticeable when driving.

Taking 9.4 seconds to accelerate from zero to 60, the Elantra won't be winning races often, but it has enough power to drive around town without feeling sluggish. You may feel the engine struggling slightly if you are driving on steep hills or trying to pass at highway speeds, but for the most part, the vehicle has adequate performance for everyday driving.
