Performance Built Around Your Commute
Both the Hyundai Elantra and Sonata bring strong fuel efficiency and capable performance to the road. The 2025 Elantra is designed with a focus on everyday efficiency, offering an EPA-estimated 36 MPG combined with its 147-horsepower 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. That makes it a smart choice for drivers who want to spend less time at the pump.
On the other hand, the 2025 Sonata offers more horsepower with a 191-hp 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, providing a smooth and composed ride ideal for longer highway drives or those who prefer a little more punch. With 32 MPG combined, it still maintains strong efficiency while offering a touch more power under the hood.
Both models come with Drive Mode Select, allowing you to customize your driving experience with Normal, Sport, and Smart modes, as well as Front Wheel Drive and a front MacPherson strut suspension for enhanced stability. The Sonata also adds an independent multi-link rear suspension, which gives it an edge in handling dynamics and ride comfort.
Seamless Tech to Keep You Connected
Staying connected on the go is easy in either sedan. The Elantra comes standard with an 8-inch color touchscreen, HD Radio™, Bluetooth® with voice recognition, and wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. It’s a simple, streamlined system that keeps you focused and in control.
The Sonata, meanwhile, steps it up with a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, SiriusXM, and Bluelink+, along with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. While the Elantra offers wireless smartphone integration, the Sonata supports multiple device connections and adds premium conveniences like a Proximity Key with push-button start, which some drivers may appreciate for added ease and flexibility.
So, if basic connectivity covers your needs, the Elantra keeps it simple. If you prefer a larger interface and more connected services, the Sonata may be a better fit for you.
Comfort That Fits Your Lifestyle
Inside the cabin, both sedans offer thoughtful comfort and clever details. The Elantra seats come with cloth upholstery, dual USB ports (one for charging, one for data), and even second-row USB charging ports—a nice perk for passengers. The solar glass feature also helps reduce heat buildup inside the cabin on sunny days.
The Hyundai Sonata offers premium cloth seating, a rear center armrest with cupholders, and a 6-way adjustable passenger seat, giving it more versatility and refinement for front and rear passengers alike. The additional USB-C ports in the back seat make it an excellent choice for families or rideshare drivers who frequently have passengers in tow.
While both interiors are smartly designed and comfortable, the Sonata’s added space and features may appeal to drivers looking for more versatility or planning to carry more passengers.
