look at everything before you buy .

look at everything before you buy this car. Lots of little things missing. Like cup holders. Armrest power outlet in the back. The car always looks dirty inside. Make sure you read up on this car before you buy. It's a shame the top of the line gets only one or 2 of these basic things. Don't waste your money.

Nothing but problems from day one

I don’t know if I just got a Lemon but I have had nothing but issues between the sunroof leaking and I’m having to replace my headliner to the electronics going in and out there was a 200 mile section where I was not even able to see how fast I was going or turn my AC on my AC still goes on and off quite often there are random times where the car will not shift into reverse and I will have to get out and push the car because I can put it in reverse and half the gas pedal and it will not move but if I am on the hill it will still roll forward or backward it’s just does not engage if you go for the one with the black chrome I know multiple people who have had issues where it peels including myself I have had to have pieces replaced alreadyThe car is absolutely amazing on gas And I love how it looks and drives I now have over 20,000 miles on it but there are a lot of issues in that time

Transmission horrible

Have had trouble with the transmission from the beginning. It was replaced and still the same problem persists. The car lunges and brakes hard when shifting.gears. Service still can not rectify the problem.

Worst car I've ever owner. Worst customer experience I've ever seen. Makes Comcast look like saints.

This is my third Hyundai Elantra in a row. I've been driving only Elantra's since 2011 but this new Hybrid Elantra will be my last purchase with Hyundai. In less than a year, I've had two nearly fatal incidents while driving. First, my sunroof exploded above my head while driving on the freeway, causing broken glass to fall in my eyes and face. The break was outward and it was determined that the glass was engineered wrong. Second, I was driving on the freeway, and my entire right, rear tire rolled off, causing me to veer off the road. This also caused other vehicles to swerve and miss me and also my tire which just kept on rolling down the road. Neither the SOS or Bluelink buttons worked when I tried to use them (when I really needed them). Hyundai will not help or claim any responsibility, only giving me the run around and not helping or reimbursing me whatsoever. They say the tire company is responsable for the tire but the tire company says its Hyundai. They also can't seem to figure out who is responsable for the SOS or bluelink buttons. Only passing me around to various people who all sent me in circles. My windshield also is cracked simply from washing it by hand with windex. And now Hyundai is saying it's the glass company, not them and it's not covered. I see this company as borderline fraudulent at this point.

Unsafe & safety not addressed by dealer

No comment. I don’t have anything else to say until someone contacts me from the dealership or manufacturer to address my safety concerns it is incredibly frustrating that I have to write more in this box to submit this review

Elantra 2021 Hybrid

Thought this would be a car I would keep and pass down to one of my kids! It is beautiful! And has been really good on gas!! But it had to be serviced at over 20,000km because the car started to predict how I drive (as the mechanic described) and needed to be rebooted and refreshed because this was the answer to the jerking of the car! Now the car is at 40,000km and gave me a horrific ride home!! (40min)! It again started jerking forward when I was gentle braking coming towards traffic or a red light! And when going forward excellerating it pumped the brakes!! There is no engine light on! And when others took it for a test run nothing happened! I feel like the car is possessed lol!! I honestly don’t feel like it is a car that is meant to be in a cold atmosphere! That being said though temperature hasn’t been that cold!? Can’t wait to get rid of the car!!

Hyundai Elantra Hybrid

I would not recommend the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, it loses power while your driving you then have to pull over and reset the battery (reset button) it can be very dangerous if your driving in the freeway because car loses all power and you better hope your not in the fast lane because once the car loses power you have to get the car to the outside lane to pull outside freeway and car starts slowing down while you have a bunch of cars passing you bye lawsuits waiting to happen very dangerous!

rides ok

The car has a lot of great safety features and the MPG looks pretty good. the pick-up/acceleration needs some work. The engine is only a 1.6L, so I have to get really conservative when getting on highways/merging to make sure I maintain speed. the engines sometimes fight to accelerate, even though there is supposed to be a Power Drive mode in the car.

Noise on incline and declines of bridges

Noise on incline and declines of bridges. But it looks good and drives good other than on concrete bridges. Great technology, and gas mileage. Spacious trunk, backseat, front seat. Road noise unusually high besides the other noise mentioned above.....

Make sure you listen this car from the out before buying it!

Overall, I am happy with the car. I think its nice looking and rides well with a fair amount of features. I am really happy with the mileage and am currently averaging 51.6 mpg overall. I have only had the car about a month some I can't really speak on reliability. I am concerned that the rear wheels look to be leaning inward ontop and how that will cause uneven tire wear but just noticed it and haven't had it in to the dealer to be looked at. My BIGGEST complaint with the car is the VESS (virtual engine sound system) and the backup bell. We did not notice these on the test drive and only noticed them after owning the vehicle for a couple days. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering this vehicle to have someone else drive so you can listen to the car drive by and backup from the outside of the car. You honestly cannot pull into a parking lot or back out of a parking spot without people turning to look to see where the strange sounds are coming from. I was told by Hyundai this feature is now federally mandated in the U.S. on all hybrids but I have never noticed any other hybrids sounding this obnoxious.

Needing to fill up is still an issue

When I bought this car, I wanted something that was going to save me money in the future. It does cost less to fill up the tank but I’m still filling up as much as my old Hyundai Elantra. I am filling up my car once or twice a week. When I bought this car I was under the impression that I wouldn’t have to fill up more than once every 2 weeks.

Cheaply made. Only 1 year old and pieces are popping off

Car is only 1year old. Horn stopped working. Side trimming on passenger side popped off. Trunk piece are is popped off on driver side. Tried snapping it back on, but it won't stay. It is great on gas mileage. It is my daily commute.

40 mpg

I bought my Elantra hybrid brand new, hoping it's going to be the last car I ever have to buy! I'm very happy with the way it looks and drives, but my bumper sticker magnet says it all--38 mpg, shoulda bought the Prius.

Elantra Hybrid.

Overall vehicle is very nice. Wife loves the gas mileage. Wish the dealer could resolve the random lack of acceleration issue that causes us to have to pull off the road on occasion. Has been in multiple times for this issue and still unresolved.

Ok

Great gas mileage, but decelerates in a very jerky fashion. It has revved and accelerated without a foot on the accelerator three times and stalled once. It is only 2 years old. I would not buy this car again.

Good Vehicle but has its Issues with Hybrid Engine and Terrible Dealership Service

This vehicle looks really good and gives good mpg. However, I am experienced and see online many other owners experiencing a check hybrid engine alert that will prevent the vehicle from accelerating and starting. I tried to get the battery replaced (under the manufacture's warranty) however it has been 5 months and I still have not received a new battery. The Hyundai dealership service can be pretty subpar. They will not complete all the necessary services listed. Make sure you review each listed service. For example, They did not change my windshield wipers despite listing that they did. I took it to a third party to confirm further service discrepancies.

works for me

Fuel efficiency has been pretty good for me at 53 mpg. the car is pretty quiet, except on highways, and I wish the car's engine/transmission had a little more power when trying to pass or maintain speed on highways. it feels very high tech on the inside. there is an annoying divider between the driver & front passenger that blocks trays and such for cup holders.

2021 elantra hybrid Blue

I was looking for a new hybrid, and this was the closest comparison to the corolla in price. The elantra had a better ride, was more comfortable, and had more options in a base model than the corolla. So far, my only negative thoughts are weak rear speakers, and the front suspension seems slightly soft. Almost like they could use stiffer coil springs. They aren't bad at all, but we don't have the greatest roads where I live.

2021 Hyundai elantra hybrid limited

This is my 4th Hyundai Elantra that I've owned and my 1st hybrid. The car's exterior is exciting, the interior and technology is amazing. MPG is phenomenal! Ride is quiet and controlled. All the active safety systems are excellent.
