The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is a hybrid sedan with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the CN7 generation. The Hybrid Blue is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Hybrid Blue version develops 139 hp and 264 Nm (195 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 9.5 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 185 km/h (115 mph). Its power output is about 36% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 25% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 4.3 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 47.0 litres (12.4 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 98 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,650 mm (183.1 in) in length, 1,825 mm (71.9 in) in width, and 1,415 mm (55.7 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,720 mm (107.1 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 402 litres (14.2 cu ft). The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,365 kg (3,009 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 2.0 SE and Hybrid Blue. Across the range, the specifications span 139 hp to 147 hp and 9.5 s to 10.2 s, while listed starting prices run from $19,950-$23,550. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby hybrid sedan models from the same period, the 2021 Hyundai Elantra is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
