The 2025 Hyundai Elantra is an excellent compact sedan with comfortable accommodations, bold styling, and multiple performance options. It's also nicely equipped for an accessible value proposition. Drivers from Akron to Berea can buy or lease the latest Hyundai Elantra models at Crestmont Hyundai in Brunswick, OH. Here's a quick look at some of the highlights.
2024 vs. 2025 Hyundai Elantra: What's the Difference?
The Hyundai Elantra received a significant midcycle refresh just last year, including sharper styling, new lighting and wheels, and new color options. The 2024 Elantra also upgraded many driver-assistance systems with haptic feedback in the steering wheel. As such, the Elantra rolls into the 2025 model year with only minor alterations to its trim roster. The SEL trim has been renamed to "SEL Sport," and the Convenience Package is now a standalone trim, "SEL Convenience."
Performance
The Hyundai Elantra has four options for propulsion, starting with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (147 horsepower, 132 pound-feet of torque), which is included in SE, SEL Sport, SEL Convenience, and Limited trims. The sporty N-Line trim ups the ante with a 1.6-liter turbo-four (201 horsepower, 195 pound-feet of torque) and sport-tuned suspension.
If efficiency is high on your priorities list, the Elantra Hybrid utilizes an electric-assisted 1.6-liter four-cylinder (139 horsepower, 195 pound-feet of torque) and achieves an EPA-estimated 50 to 54 MPG, depending on the wheel size.
Finally, the Elantra N delivers a true sport compact experience with a high-output 2.0-liter turbo-four (276 horsepower, 289 pound-feet of torque), plus adaptive suspension, an electronic limited-slip differential, and high-performance tires.
Interior
Whether commuting to Akron, running errands around Medina, or embarking on that long-awaited road trip, the 2025 Hyundai Elantra provides a pleasant place to pass the miles. The cabin is attractive and accommodating, with a clean, contemporary design, comfortable seats, and ample passenger space. It also provides impressive practicality for a compact car thanks to its thoughtful small-item storage spaces, a large trunk (14.2 cubic feet), and available split-folding rear seats.
The 2025 Elantra is nicely equipped, offering several comforts and conveniences. Depending on the trim level, you can enhance your Brunswick drives with amenities like:
- Proximity Key entry

Infotainment and Safety Technology
The Hyundai Elantra comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, providing convenient, cable-free access to smartphone features like hands-free calls and messages, Google or Apple Maps, music, streaming media, and more. The base trim has an 8-inch touchscreen. However, by stepping up just one level, you can get a stylish dual-screen display with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen.
The Hyundai Elantra also supports your attentive driving with an extensive driver-assistance roster, including many as standard equipment. So, no matter what trim you choose, you'll get Hyundai SmartSense technologies like:
