The Hyundai brand stands out among the competition for Orange County drivers looking for an excellent commuter vehicle because the lineup offers a wide selection of fuel-efficient vehicles with cutting-edge driver assistance technology. Hyundai provides a robust feature selection, from the Elantra compact sedan to the Palisade full-size SUV. There is a Hyundai model for whatever style suits your commuter needs.
Fuel-Efficient Vehicles in All Shapes and Sizes
Hyundai has plenty to offer drivers looking for a sedan, which is a big deal when many other manufacturers drop them in favor of SUVs and trucks. If you clock a lot of miles on the road but don't bring along many people or cargo, you should check out the Hyundai Elantra that pulls off an impressive EPA-estimated 32-city and 41-highway MPG on a gasoline engine. The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid midsize sedan takes efficiency further with an EPA-estimated 44 city and 51 highway MPG, while the Hyundai IONIQ 6 offers a 342-mile all-electric driving range.
However, sedans aren't the only Hyundai vehicles with impressive fuel efficiency. The Hyundai Kona Electric subcompact crossover SUV can go 261 miles on a full charge, and the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid midsize crossover SUV combines an EPA-estimated 36 combined MPG with three-row seating and up to 79.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is an interesting model that combines hybrid and EV benefits with a 32-mile all-electric range and an EPA-estimated 35 combined MPG.
A Wide Range of Spacious Crossovers and SUVs
Whether you're looking for AWD control, plenty of cargo space, or just prefer how you sit in a crossover versus a sedan, Hyundai has you covered. The Hyundai Venue is the smallest model, a subcompact SUV, which is ideal for city driving and has 31.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat down. The Hyundai Kona and Hyundai Tucson are the next two larger crossovers, offering the best balance between spacious interiors and efficiency with 63.7 and 71.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, respectively.
The Hyundai Santa Fe midsize crossover and the Hyundai Palisade full-size crossover are the two Hyundai crossovers with three-row seating. The larger Hyundai Palisade gets an extra 6.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats down, pushing its capacity to 86.4.
Impressive, Cutting-Edge Driver Assistance Technology
Hyundai SmartSense systems vary between models and trims but consistently provide active assistance to protect you on the road. Systems like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist sound alerts when they detect a potential impact and can even automatically apply the brakes to avoid a crash. Other systems like the Blind-Spot View Monitor, Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and High Beam Assist provide helpful feedback and automation for drivers, making it easier for them to focus on the road.
