The available 12.3-inch touchscreen display is your command center, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, navigation, and an upgraded Bose premium audio system. Wireless device charging and multiple USB ports are also on hand to keep your devices powered up.

Hyundai’s Blue Link connected car system is included, giving you access to remote start, climate control, and other convenient features via your smartphone. You can even use voice commands to control many of the Tucson’s functions, keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road ahead.

If you’re looking for a compact sedan that delivers exceptional fuel efficiency without compromising on features, the 2025 Hyundai Elantra is a top choice. With an EPA-estimated 41 MPG on the highway, the Elantra helps you go further on every tank of gas. Residents of Clearwater can experience the efficiency and sophistication of the Elantra firsthand at Fitzgerald’s Countryside Hyundai.

The Elantra is available in five well-equipped trim levels, ensuring there’s a perfect match for every St. Petersburg driver’s needs:

• SE
• SEL
• N Line
• Limited
• SEL Convenience

Even the base SE trim comes standard with advanced features, like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Driver Attention Warning. You’ll enjoy added peace of mind on every drive.

The Elantra’s efficient 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 147 horsepower while still achieving that impressive 41 MPG highway rating when paired with the Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) on the SE trim.

The Elantra’s fuel tank can hold 12.4 gallons of gas. That means you can drive the Elantra for 508 miles without needing to fuel up! That’s great convenience for long-distance commuters and road-trippers. You could drive all the way from Tampa to Atlanta without stopping (unless you need snacks).

For those seeking even more engagement behind the wheel, the sport-tuned Elantra N Line trim boasts a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine making 201 horsepower, paired with a quick-shifting 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). Drivers in New Port Richey will love the N Line’s dynamic handling, though with great power, comes slightly less fuel economy: 35 MPG highway. You’ll have to stop for gas every 434 miles, unfortunately.

Experience the efficiency, performance, and range of the 2025 Hyundai Elantra for yourself by visiting Fitzgerald’s Countryside Hyundai, conveniently located in Clearwater, FL. Browse our new Hyundai Elantra inventory online or stop by our dealership for a test drive.
