A Fuel-Sipping Sedan That Still Knows How to Have Fun

If you've been thinking about a sedan that saves money at the pump without feeling like a compromise, the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid deserves a closer look. At Gates Hyundai in Richmond, KY, we carry this sharp-looking hybrid in multiple trims, and each one delivers the kind of efficiency that makes your daily commute feel a lot less expensive. 

• The Elantra Hybrid earns up to an EPA-estimated 54 combined MPG, meaning fewer fill-ups and more money in your pocket.
• Three trim levels let you pick the right mix of features, comfort, and tech for how you actually drive.
• Hyundai SmartSense safety tech comes standard across the lineup, helping you stay aware and confident on the road.

With a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, the Elantra Hybrid puts out a combined 139 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. That might sound modest on paper, but it translates to responsive acceleration when merging onto the highway or passing slower traffic. A 6-speed EcoShift dual-clutch automatic transmission keeps shifts smooth, and front-wheel drive handles Kentucky's mix of city streets and country roads with confidence.

Tech That Keeps You Connected

Every Elantra Hybrid comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the 8-inch touchscreen, so your phone pairs up quickly without fumbling for a cable. Step into the SEL Sport or Limited, and you'll get a 10.25-inch display with built-in navigation and a matching 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. The menus are clear, response time is quick, and switching between music, maps, and calls takes just a tap or two.

Drive Mode Select lets you toggle between Normal, Sport, and Smart modes to match how you feel behind the wheel. Smart mode actually learns your driving habits over time and adjusts the powertrain to suit. Schedule a test drive and try toggling between the modes yourself.

Safety You Can Count On

Hyundai's SmartSense suite comes standard on every Elantra Hybrid trim. That means Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian detection, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Driver Attention Warning are all part of the package from the start.

Move up to the Limited, and you'll add Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, a Blind Spot View Monitor, and expanded collision avoidance that covers cyclists and junction turns. Whether you're running errands around Richmond, KY, or heading toward Lexington for the weekend, these features work quietly in the background to help you stay aware of what's happening around you.

Efficiency That Fits Your Budget

One of the best things about the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid is how much it saves you over time. At up to 54 MPG combined in the Blue trim and 50 MPG combined in the SEL Sport and Limited, you can go longer between fill-ups without thinking twice. There's no plug to worry about either. The hybrid system charges itself through regenerative braking, converting energy that would normally be lost during deceleration back into battery power. It's the kind of efficiency that works for you without changing how you drive.
