Known problems with the 2025 Hyundai Elantra
2 of the 6 issues we track for the 2021–2025 generation are documented against the 2025 model year.
N Line/N 1.6T and 2.0T oil consumption and tick complaints
moderateAs with the AD generation's turbo engines, the CN7's Gamma 1.6T and 2.0T (Elantra N) draw owner reports of engine tick and above-average oil consumption, most commonly after 40,000–60,000 miles. Keep documented oil-change records and check dipstick level between changes; qualifying cars may be covered under Hyundai's extended engine warranty programs.
Typical cost: $0 (top-offs, warranty) to $4,000+ for an out-of-warranty short block
Hybrid 12V auxiliary battery early failure (owner-reported)
minorThe small trunk-mounted 12V AGM battery on Hybrid models can die well before the high-voltage traction battery shows any issue, leaving the car unable to start even though the hybrid system itself is fine. Replacement is a straightforward AGM swap.
Typical cost: $200–$350
4 more issues reported in other 2021–2025 years
- Front seat belt pretensioner may explode in a crash (recall) — 2021–2022
- Rearview camera image failure (recall) — 2021–2022
- Driver's airbag emblem may detach on deployment (recall) — 2022–2023

About the Hyundai Elantra
The Hyundai Elantra is a compact sedan that has spent the last decade and a half undercutting the Civic and Corolla on price while matching them on warranty coverage (Hyundai's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty follows the original owner). 0L Nu GDI in the sportier Coupe/GT/Sport trims), simple, chain-driven engines with a genuinely different reliability record than the Theta II engines that plagued Sonata/Santa Fe of the same era, though Hyundai still extended engine warranties for a subset of Nu-engine oil-consumption and knock complaints (the 2022 "Hyundai Engine II" class-action settlement). 0L cars whose piston oil rings weren't properly heat-treated.
0L turbo Elantra N hot hatch-turned-sedan (276 hp). Across all three generations the recurring theme for owners is Hyundai's aggressive recall posture, seat belt pretensioners, airbag inflators, an ABS module that could leak brake fluid and short internally (fire risk, recall 23V-651 covering 2011–2015 cars), and steering/brake-booster campaigns on early AD cars, most fixed free at the dealer. Maintenance itself is inexpensive and interval-driven: 5W-20 or 5W-30 oil in the naturally-aspirated engines (0W-20/5W-30 in the turbos and hybrid), a shared spin-on oil filter across nearly the whole lineup, and a CR2032 key fob battery throughout.
