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.
  • Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
  • Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
  • 210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
  • Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
  • Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
