Hyundai Prices 2025 Elantra, Sonata

The popular Korean brand is one of the few marques which continues to offer several different sizes of four-door sedan – and we’re glad for it.

Starting with the Elantra, look for an MSRP of $21,875 plus fees for an entry-level SE trim, a sum rising about five grand as it passes through the SEL Sport and SEL Convenience models to arrive at the Limited; if you recognized those as new trims for this year, give yerself a gold star. All of those are powered by a 2.0L four-banger and a continuously variable transmission. The N-Line variant will cost $28,725 this year and continue to team a 1.6L turbo mill with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.

On the hybrid side of its ledger, a new Blue trim brings the price down to $25,100 plus destination, a $1,150 reduction from the starting cost of a 2024 model. Finally, the tasty Elantra N, with its 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder mill and standard six-speed manual transmission, is stickered at $33,950 this year.


Moving up to the larger Sonata, we find a return of the mack SE trim which means a more approachable starting price of $26,650 plus fees. It has most of the good stuff including 16-inch alloy wheels, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and wireless smartphone mirroring. It’s an $1,100 walk to the SEL trim and a further $1,500 chit to the SEL with all-wheel drive. Each of those gets a 2.5L engine and 8-speed automatic. Popping for an N-Line nets the 2.5L turbo for $35,250.

Two hybrid trims are available in the 2025 Sonata – a $31,000 SEL and $37,450 Limited. It is in those models we find a powertrain anchored by a 2.0L four-banger and six-speed automatic. None of these prices listed for either the Elantra or Sonata include $1,150 in destination charges plus whatever other nonsense fees a greedy dealer is making up that particular day.


Both cars should begin appearing on dealer lots by this autumn.

    This is basically a BMW 1 series wrapped in Korean styling. Wow, have you driven one lately, handling reminiscent of the BMW 2002Tii with refinement that puts lexus to shame.

      ^ Imposter trying to get me banned by associating me to someone who was banned. Nice try.

    For those bemoaning the demise of the sedan, here's your chance to buy one.

      @Oberkanone - people complain about a lack of cheap cars and a lack of sedans. There are examples of both in the marketplace. Most don't want them. ........ I personally don't care. If car companies stopped making pickups, then I'd be concerned.
  • ToolGuy™ I have always resented how GM did not consult me on styling choices.
  • ToolGuy™ Ford produces 6,819 vehicles in about 17 minutes.
  • ToolGuy™ Yes, but No. And Maybe. With upscale soft-touch interior materials, especially below the armrest.(I am training to be an Automotive Journalist.)
  • Orange260z In 2007 we drove from Regina SK to LA via Flagstaff, and Las Vegas, returning via Sam Francisco, Reno and Northern NV. The Montana "reasonable and prudent" had been repealed by then, and Montana actually had the slowest highway speeds of our trip.Through Utah, Arizona, and Nevada we were quite surprised to see a steady flow of traffic at speeds of approximately 100mph on I15, I40, and I80, but also Hwy89, Hwy93 and other non-interstate highways. Many of the vehicles doing these speeds were full-size SUVs and pickup trucks - having owned Suburbans and Yukons I get that they are comfortable cruisers at high speed, but good luck braking or swerving at 100mph.Also had a similar experience driving back to Ontario from Dallas TX - much of the daytime interstate traffic was moving in the 85-100mph range (speed limits were generally 70--75mph).
