The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid has won the inaugural Motor1.com Star Award for Best Value.

The 2022 Elantra Hybrid demonstrates Hyundai's commitment to expanding its eco-focused lineup of products.

Its dramatic exterior and high-tech interior both succeed at getting a strong emotional response from customers. But the Elantra Hybrid still prioritizes fuel economy, with an impressive EPA rating of up to 54 mpg combined.

We thank the editors at Motor1.com for this award. Based on research, we know that fuel economy remains a top purchase consideration, said Ricky Lao, director of Product Planning, Hyundai Motor North America. The Elantra Hybrid delivers up to 54 mpg combined to meet their demands while delivering a striking design and advanced technologies.

It was difficult to select just one winner from this group of competitors, but the 2021 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid ended up offering the best blend of creature comforts, driving competence, economical motoring, and aggressive pricing to get the nod, said Motor1.com Senior Editor Brett Evans. For the owner who wants something comfortable, distinctive, and well-priced, it's hard to improve on the Elantra Hybrid.
