Hyundai Elantra FAQs

  • How does the Hyundai Elantra achieve such high fuel efficiency?

    The Hyundai Elantra utilizes a combination of lightweight materials, an aerodynamic design and a highly efficient engine to maximize fuel efficiency.

  • What can drivers do to maintain their Elantra's fuel efficiency?

Following the manufacturer’s recommendations is one of the most reliable ways to get the best possible fuel economy.
