Smart, Stylish, and Surprisingly Efficient — Why Elantra and Sonata Hybrid Made the Cut

In Sussex County, your commute can go from farmland to freeway in the blink of an eye — and if you’re lucky, maybe even a Dunkin’ stop in between. That’s why Nielsen Editorial gave a nod to not one, but two Hyundais on its list of best gas mileage for NJ commuters: the sharply styled Hyundai Elantra and the smooth-sailing Sonata Hybrid, both available now at Franklin Sussex Hyundai.

Let’s start with the Elantra, which hits that perfect commuter sweet spot: up to 36 MPG combined, smart tech that doesn’t require a 14-year-old to explain, and enough comfort to keep you cool even when you’re crawling behind a hay truck on Route 206. It’s ideal for solo riders, first-time buyers, or anyone who wants to ditch the gas guzzler without sacrificing space, style, or sanity. It’s the commuter car equivalent of a really great diner order: affordable, dependable, and satisfying every single time.

Then there’s the Sonata Hybrid, the midsize sedan that shows up to the daily grind with 50 MPG highway swagger and a ride smooth enough to make even Route 15 traffic feel bearable. With a roomy interior, sleek design, and tech that actually helps (instead of confusing you mid-merge), it’s perfect for the commuter who’s racking up miles but still wants to arrive feeling like a human, not a sardine.

Both models are low on fuel stops, light on maintenance costs, and ready for whatever Sussex County’s weather roulette throws at them — whether it’s snow, sun, or a 40-degree morning followed by a 78-degree lunch break.

Take a test drive at Franklin Sussex Hyundai, and see why the Elantra and Sonata Hybrid are two of the smartest, smoothest ways to tackle New Jersey’s most unpredictable commutes.
