Most and least efficient

Among the Hyundai models here, the Genesis is the most economical on average at about 19 MPGe, while the Ioniq is the thirstiest at about 77 MPGe. The gap between them shows how much the model and body style — not the brand alone — decide your fuel bill.

Fuel types in the lineup

Hyundai models in this dataset run on electric and gasoline and hybrid and hydrogen and plug-in hybrid. Choosing a hybrid or electric version cuts the fuel line of the budget the most, especially in city driving, while a conventional gasoline model usually costs less to buy in the first place. Use the comparison tool to set the trade-off against a rival in the same class.

Coverage and method

This Hyundai section covers 11 models over 40 model-years, drawn from the U.S. EPA's fuel economy files and NHTSA crash-test data. Every figure is an official estimate, so use it to compare vehicles and spot the outliers rather than as a promise of what you will get at the pump. Where a model changed engines, transmissions or body styles between years, the year-by-year pages show the difference.

Pick a model for its year-by-year fuel economy and specs, or open the comparison tool to line any two up side by side. ← All makes
