2025 Hyundai Elantra Performance Feature

More Miles, Less Compromise

Fuel efficiency is a key factor for compact sedan buyers, and the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla perform well at the pump. However, the 2025 Elantra delivers an impressive 36 MPG combined with 32 MPG in the city and 41 MPG on the highway. That’s the same highway number as the Corolla, but the Elantra edges ahead in city efficiency for better overall value.

Under the hood, the Elantra is powered by a 147-hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine paired with Drive Mode Select, which offers options including Normal, Sport, and Smart. Whether you're commuting through Atlanta traffic or heading out on a weekend trip, you can tailor your drive to match your mood or the road conditions.

While the Corolla offers slightly more horsepower at 169 hp, its performance relies on a Dynamic-Shift CVT that some drivers may find less engaging. The Elantra’s suspension setup, featuring a MacPherson strut front and coupled torsion beam rear, helps provide a composed ride that feels balanced and confident on everyday roads.

2025 Hyundai Elantra Technology Feature

Smart Tech Where It Matters

Both vehicles come standard with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, making it easy to stay connected on the go. However, the Elantra takes it a step further in simplifying your tech experience with an intuitive 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth® hands-free voice recognition, and steering-wheel-mounted controls that put everything at your fingertips.

The Toyota Corolla includes similar tech features, like the SiriusXM®, but the Elantra’s system stands out with a clean, uncluttered interface and HD Radio™, giving you more audio clarity right out of the box. If you value tech that works without a steep learning curve, the Elantra delivers.

2025 Hyundai Elantra Interior Feature

Spacious Interior

Inside, the 2025 Elantra offers 99.4 cubic feet of passenger space, providing noticeably more room than the Corolla’s 88.6 cubic feet. That’s a significant difference, especially if you regularly have passengers or prefer a bit of extra space. The Elantra also makes rear passengers a priority with second-row USB charging ports, something you won’t always find in this class.

Other thoughtful interior touches in the Elantra include solar glass to help keep the cabin cooler, dual front USB ports, and a remote keyless entry system with an alarm. While the Corolla offers comparable features, such as climate control and a fabric-trimmed seat setup, the Elantra’s layout feels intentionally crafted to provide value, comfort, and day-to-day practicality.
