Hyundai Elantra Gas Mileage

by

The compact Hyundai Elantra was introduced to America in the 1993 model year. Consistently strong gas mileage figures – with highway gas mileage ratings in the low-thirty mile per gallon (MPG) range – along with reasonable pricing have ensured the Elantra’s long run of success. The Elantra has been redesigned three times over the years, with the most recent redesign taking place in 2007.

The 2008 Hyundai Elantra is fitted with a 2.0 liter DOHC four cylinder engine. Performance specs differ slightly between the Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) and Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) versions. The ULEV engine is rated at 138 horsepower (HP) and 136 foot pounds of torque, while the PZEV engine is rated at 132 HP and 133 foot pounds of torque. The Elantra is equipped with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.

  2. I’m averaging 26 mpg with my 2007 model. I personally love the car! Smooth ride and good gas mileage.

  3. New 2008 GLS – my commute is about 92% freeway, round trip is 114 miles. I am getting 37 miles doing between 63 and 70 miles per hour.

  4. i have a 2008 elantra and only get 22.8 average
    i havefilled up at the same pump 3 times and watched my driving anf thats as good as its getting
    other than that i love the car
    any ideas

  5. @Dina – what’s your daily drive cycle like? Mostly city or highway? Lots of stop-and-go traffic? Average speeds?

  6. I took a 4 hr road trip from Nyc to Wash DC and the best I got was 29 mpg. I usually average 25. What driving conditions gives 33? I’m guessing no curves and all downhills?

    No other complaints aside from the weak acceleration. You hear the engine rev but you don’t feel it. But it is still a great car for the money.
