Hyundai's Next Elantra Hybrid Will Be Even More Efficient

• The new Elantra hybrid (Avante in South Korea) achieves a 10 percent increase in fuel efficiency.
• The hybrid returns 49.87 miles per gallon combined, up from 45.16 mpg on the outgoing model.
• The new Elantra hybrid is larger than the outgoing model with a more powerful hybrid powertrain.

In June, Hyundai unveiled the eighth-generation Elantra (Avante in South Korea), a big departure from the current car. It has an all-new design, a larger footprint, and a more powerful hybrid engine, but despite those changes, the electrified sedan will be even more efficient.
