Which Hyundai Models Have the Best Fuel Economy?

Hyundai has built one of the most fuel-efficient lineups in the automotive industry. From traditional gas models to hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and fully electric vehicles, there is an efficient Hyundai for every type of driver. At Speck Hyundai of Tri-Cities, we are proud to offer a wide selection of these fuel-saving models.

Gas Models Over 30 MPG

Several of Hyundai’s standard gas-powered models deliver impressive fuel economy right out of the box. The Elantra gas model earns an EPA-estimated 36 MPG combined, with up to 41 MPG on the highway. The Venue delivers a solid 31 MPG combined with 29 MPG city and 33 highway. The Kona also checks in at 31 MPG combined in its standard front-wheel-drive configuration. The Sonata SE gas model earns an EPA-estimated 32 MPG combined with 28 city and 38 highway. These models prove you do not need a hybrid to enjoy outstanding fuel savings at the pump.

Hybrid Models

Hyundai’s hybrid lineup takes fuel efficiency to an entirely new level. The Elantra Hybrid Blue trim is the standout of the entire lineup, earning an outstanding EPA-estimated 54 MPG combined with 51 city and 58 highway. The Sonata Hybrid Blue trim delivers an EPA-estimated 51 MPG combined with 47 city and 56 highway. The Tucson Hybrid earns an impressive 38 MPG combined, with AWD coming standard on all trims. The Santa Fe Hybrid steps up in the size while still delivering an EPA-estimated 36 MPG combined. These hybrids require no plugging in and deliver exceptional savings with every tank of gas.

Plug-In Hybrid Models (PHEV)

For drivers who want the option to drive on electricity for daily commutes while still having gas backup for longer trips, Hyundai’s PHEV models are an excellent choice. The Tucson Plug-In Hybrid offers an EPA-estimated 32 miles of electric-only range and averages around 35 MPG combined once the battery is depleted. The Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid similarly offers electric-only drivers for short trips and impressive combined efficiency when running on gas. Both models can be charged at home overnight or at public charging stations, making them incredibly flexible for everyday use.

Electric Models

Hyundai’s all-electric IONIQ lineup delivers some of the best range figures in the industry. The IONIQ 5 starts at $35,000 and offers and EPA-estimated range of up to 303 miles on a single charge. The IONIQ 9 is Hyundai’s new three-row electric SUV starting at $58,955, offering up to 335 miles of range and seating for seven passengers. All IONIQ models support ultra-fast charging, getting the battery to 80 percent in as little as 24 minutes. For drivers ready to make the full switch to electric, the IONIQ lineup is one of the most compelling options on the market today.
