The 2017 Hyundai Elantra Eco will come with a base price of $21,485 (includes an $835 destination charge). The Eco gets a new 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder with 128 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, the Eco is rated at 32 City/40 Highway/35 Combined. Compared to the standard Elantra with its 2.0L Atkinson-Cycle four-cylinder that returns 28 City/37 Highway/32 Combined when paired with the six-speed automatic.
