• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $22,958. The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid offers a stylish, efficiency-focused character that makes it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Tech: Standard tech features include a 4.2-inch digital instrument panel and an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, but these are for only the base Blue trim. All others upgrade to a 10.25-inch display for both the instrument panel and touchscreen, the latter with a native navigation system.
• Safety: Our Limited trim also came with Hyundai's Highway Driving Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist to reduce the driver’s workload.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
