Performance & Powertrain Options

These hybrids both focus on delivering smooth, efficient performance but approach it differently.

Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Highlights:

  • 139 HP and 108 lb-ft gas engine torque
  • 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT) tuned for responsive, efficient shifts

The Elantra Hybrid’s DCT functions like a traditional automatic, delivering a more engaging drive than a typical CVT.

Honda Civic Hybrid Highlights:

  • 2.0L 4-cylinder + dual electric motors
  • 200 HP and approximately 232 lb-ft of combined torque
  • e-CVT (electronic continuously variable transmission)
  • Front-wheel drive standard

The Civic Hybrid leans toward smooth, quiet driving. It’s ideal for cruising, but Hyundai gives you a little more fun behind the wheel. Need more excitement behind the wheel? The 2025 Elantra N turns up the heat with turbocharged performance—see it now at Crain Hyundai of North Little Rock.
