The new Hyundai ELANTRA is a fuel-efficient car that stands out. It’s the perfect choice for eco-friendly drivers who appreciate a quality vehicle that gets excellent gas mileage. This sedan can save you money at the pumps around Hanford, California, in addition to being a sleek ride that’s fun to drive. If you’re wondering how the mileage stacks up for the 2024 Hyundai ELANTRA, you’ve come to the right place. We created this guide to help you discover the newest ELANTRA’s fuel efficiency in addition to learning about the benefits of driving fuel-efficient cars around California.

Fuel Economy Ratings

The fuel economy ratings for the 2024 Hyundai ELANTRA vary among the model’s three trim levels. You’ll get the best gas mileage with the base SE trim level. This version has an EPA-estimated mileage of 32 mpg when cruising Hanford’s city streets and up to 41 mpg when you get out on our California highways. On the days when you do both city and highway driving, you’ll get 36 mpg combined. 

In both the upper trims — the SEL and Limited versions — you can expect a fuel efficiency of 31 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. This means you’ll get a combined 34 mpg when driving in and around Hanford. These ratings are only estimates, as your exact mileage results depend on a variety of factors, including outside temperature, road conditions, speed, and the condition of your vehicle, just to name a few.

Efficient Design Elements

To maximize the Hyundai ELANTRA’s mileage, designers improved the aerodynamics of this eco-friendly car. And with this came the sedan’s stylish and fresh new look. The 2024 models have a more angled hood that cuts into the air with a lower profile grille and improved venting. Sharp lines in the sides of the ELANTRA help it displace more air for less resistance as it travels. The ELANTRA is now slightly longer and lower to the ground to improve the drag coefficient. However, you won’t have to sacrifice any interior space for this gas-saving design tweak.

Your ELANTRA comes standard with 15-inch wheels that can give you the best fuel efficiency, but 16- and 17-inch wheels are available for higher trims. Every model has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood. This setup provides up to 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque when you need it. The powertrain pairs with a Smartstream intelligent variable transmission that moves easily through gears for ultimate efficiency as you travel to and from Hanford.

Continuous Improvement

Hyundai prides itself on creating fuel-efficient cars that can get you where you need to be with fewer stops for fuel along the way. This is why the team at Hyundai practices continuous improvement and works hard to elevate every aspect of the cars it builds. While adding a few more features to the base model of the 2024 Hyundai ELANTRA lowered its fuel efficiency slightly when compared to last year’s model, those changes were well worth it for the added safety and convenience they provide.

Of course, the SE trim for 2024 still gets an impressive 32 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, but the 2023 base trim could get 33 mpg in the city and 42 mpg on the highway. However, higher trims of the latest ELANTRA improve city mpg by one compared to the same trims of the 2023 ELANTRA, making it able to achieve 31 mpg in the city over last year’s 30 mpg in the city. Now you’ll be able to go farther in the top new trims when you fill the 12.4-gallon fuel tank in your ELANTRA.

Driving Benefits

Driving a fuel-efficient Hyundai ELANTRA comes with many benefits for Hanford drivers. A top benefit to consider is the savings you’ll see at the pump when you drive a car that can go farther on a single tank of fuel. This means spending less time at the gas station filling up, freeing up your time for doing more enjoyable things. Using less fuel is a benefit to the environment, which is another important consideration when searching for eco-friendly vehicles. Because the ELANTRA gets such great gas mileage, you ensure your environmental impact reduces strain on the planet. 

California residents may see additional bonuses for driving an eco-friendly car or SUV. The state allows some fuel-efficient vehicles to travel in the carpool lane with only a single passenger. And by getting a special decal from the DMV, you can travel in high-occupancy toll lanes for free. Some big cities around the state allow fuel-efficient vehicles to get free parking. You might qualify for a rebate of up to $1,500 if you retire your old, high-polluting vehicle, and some car insurance providers offer rate discounts of as much as 30% to those choosing eco-friendly vehicles.

Offering incentives to people who purchase and drive fuel-efficient cars encourages more people to make this choice. Driving the Hyundai ELANTRA is the right decision for those who want to reap the most benefits from choosing an appealing and stylish sedan. By owning an ELANTRA, you’ll do your part to improve the environment and help with your budget. You’ll save at the pump and in a variety of other ways when you choose a fuel-efficient car.
