Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe Hyundai Elantra Hybrid is a stylish outlier among fuel-efficient sedans, and it’s also accessibly priced. But unfortunately, it's not very appealing to drive. Power and acceleration are on the weak side — even among other hybrids — while inconsistent power surges make it feel as though it's a few generations behind the rest of the class. Verdict: The Elantra Hybrid is a great value, but its unrefined hybrid powertrain and cheap-feeling interior have it following, rather than leading, the class. | |
