Expert Review:

Hyundai brought an Elantra Hybrid to market for the first time last year to compete against the Honda Insight and Toyota Corolla Hybrid. For the 2022 model year, the compact hybrid sedan sees no changes.

Technology:

The Elantra Hybrid comes standard with an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 10.3-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation is available, but models with this larger screen lose the wireless smart phone connectivity in favor of a wired setup. A six-speaker audio system is standard, and an eight-speaker Bose system is available.

Trim levels

Two trim levels are available on the 2022 Elantra Hybrid: Blue and Limited.

• 2022 Elantra Blue Hybrid: Cloth seats, one-piece folding rear seatback, dual-zone automatic climate control, 8.0-inch touchscreen, six-speaker sound system, dual USB ports, hands-free smart trunk release
• 2022 Elantra Limited Hybrid: Leather seats, 60/40 split-fold down rear seats, 10.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, eight-speaker sound system, 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 64-color ambient interior lighting, Hyundai Digital Key

What Other Hybrids Does Hyundai Offer?
