The 2025 Elantra Hybrid is available in three trims — Blue, SEL Sport, and Limited. A 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric motor compose the powertrain, which puts out 139 horsepower. A six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a front-wheel drivetrain round out the mechanical specs. The Blue is the efficiency star, achieving up to 51 mpg city and 58 mpg highway. The SEL Sport and Limited return 49 city/52 highway.
The Blue blends basic features like fabric upholstery and push-button start with some more advanced amenities such as proximity keyless entry, heated side-view mirrors, and a hands-free smart trunk release. It also has dual-zone automatic climate control, four USB-C charging ports (two front, two back), a 4.2-inch gauge cluster, projector-style LED headlights with automatic on/off feature, and 16-inch alloy wheels. The SEL Sport brings more to the table with a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster (which unites seamlessly with the 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen), a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, wireless phone charging, a rear spoiler, sport alloy pedals, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The Limited goes without the rear spoiler and alloy pedals but adds sophistication with H-Tex (simulated leather) upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, driver’s-seat position memory, a sunroof, Digital Key 2. It also gets upgraded taillights and deluxe side-view mirrors with integrated turn indicators and position memory.
Standard in every 2025 Elantra Hybrid trim, Hyundai’s SmartSense suite packages an array of safety and driver-assistance technologies. That list consists of forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, automatic high beams, driver attention warning, lane keeping and lane following assist, safe exit assist, and rear occupant alert. The Limited is fully loaded, getting highway driving assist, an enhanced forward collision system with cyclist and junction-turning detection, and Smart (adaptive) Cruise Control.
The Blue showcases an 8-inch touchscreen equipped with Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and HD Radio. The higher trims upgrade to a 10.25-inch touchscreen and add SiriusXM satellite radio, Wi-Fi hotspot access, and dynamic voice recognition. While the Blue and SEL Sport get a more basic sound system, the Limited goes fully upscale with a Bose unit, providing a top-level audio experience.
