The 2025 Hyundai Elantra lineup brings a mix of exciting updates, including a reduction in the price of the hybrid model and an extensive shuffle of trim levels. For 2024, Hyundai’s compact sedan family received some aesthetic tweaks, better materials within the cabin, and additional safety features.
Price Reduction for Elantra Hybrid
In a surprising move, Hyundai has announced that the base Blue trim of the Elantra Hybrid will now start at $26,250, which is $1,150 less than the outgoing model, inclusive of the $1,150 destination fee. This adjustment makes the hybrid model more accessible to a broader range of buyers.
Trim Level Shuffles
While the Elantra Hybrid’s price decreased, other trims in the lineup see varying changes in cost. The Elantra family, which includes gas-powered variants, hybrids, and the performance-oriented N Sedan, has several new updates for the upcoming year. One of the most notable changes is the introduction of the new SEL Sport trim, available with both gas and hybrid powertrains. This trim replaces the former SEL trim and adds several sporty styling elements, including 17-inch alloy wheels, gloss-black side mirrors, and a rear spoiler.
New and Existing Features
The SEL Sport model also benefits from interior enhancements like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, aluminum sport pedals, a black headliner, and wireless phone charging. Other trim levels and their respective updates include the new SEL Convenience, which is now its own trim level, offering additional comfort and convenience features.
