In the world of automotive wonders, the 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid emerges as a curious beast, boasting 139 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque from its 1.6L 4-cylinder heart. The StraightPipes duo, Yuri and Jacob, embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of this fuel-efficient sedan. Despite initial skepticism, the Elantra Hybrid proves itself on the road, with torque that surprises and handling that impresses, even on winter tires.
Delving into the car's aesthetics, the team finds the design somewhat lackluster, with a hint of refreshment but an overall feeling of familiarity. The wheels, though directional, fail to make a lasting impression, overshadowed by the remarkable Continental tires. Inside the cabin, the presence of physical buttons and traditional climate controls evoke a sense of nostalgia, while the absence of a heated steering wheel raises eyebrows. However, features like wired CarPlay, a wireless charger, and ample trunk space add a modern touch to the Elantra Hybrid's interior.
As the adventure unfolds, the StraightPipes explore the smart trunk feature and ponder the convenience of back door unlocking. They navigate through the car's quirks and virtues, from comfortable seats to adequate power delivery, all while marveling at the affordability of this hybrid marvel, priced under 30,000 Canadian dollars. The Elantra Hybrid may not be a revolutionary masterpiece, but in a world of automotive excess, its blend of efficiency, performance, and value shines as a beacon of practicality in a sea of extravagance.
