The 2025 Avante Hybrid: A Sedan Recommended for New Graduates! Why?

Hello, I'm Double Look, an automotive influencer.

Recently, I visited a university campus in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do for content filming,

and I frequently encountered the Hyundai Avante in the parking lot.

Among the places I visited, the Avante seemed to be the most common vehicle,

which I believe reflects how accessible this sedan is for college students.

The Avante currently on sale is the 7th generation facelift model, released in March 2023,

known as 'The New Avante CN7,' which enjoys high popularity due to its sleek and sophisticated design.

While personal preferences for design may vary,

I think everyone can agree that it is a beloved sedan with broad appeal.

What are the 2024 sales figures for the beloved sedan Avante?

The New Avante recorded sales of 55,793 units from January to December 2024,

ranking 9th overall in the domestic car category.

In the sedan segment, it holds the 3rd position, following the Grandeur and Sonata, continuing its legacy as a popular sedan.

The Hyundai Avante offers three powertrain options: gasoline 1.6, gasoline 1.6 hybrid, and LPG 1.6.

It features a dominant sales share of over 86% for the gasoline 1.6 model,

as the lower price of this model is a crucial factor for vehicle selection compared to the more economical hybrid version.

When comparing the modern trim levels, the gasoline 1.6 model starts at approximately 19,700 USD (23,260,000 won),

which is 4,000 USD (4,680,000 won) cheaper than the gasoline 1.6 hybrid model priced at around 21,700 USD (27,940,000 won).

Of course, the fuel efficiency is significantly higher for the gasoline 1.6 hybrid model, achieving 49.7 MPG (21.1 km/L) compared to the gasoline 1.6 model's 34.6 MPG (14.7 km/L), but

most college students or new graduates, who typically drive shorter distances, seem to prefer the more affordable models.

so it’s important to choose the optimal option based on personal driving habits and distances.

Instead of simply purchasing a cheaper vehicle, I recommend planning how many kilometers you will drive over the next few years.

and the benefits of fuel efficiency are becoming more significant.

Just three years ago, we experienced gasoline prices of about 2,500 won per liter due to a spike in international oil prices,

so in such situations, choosing the gasoline 1.6 hybrid would be a no-brainer.

While no one can predict international oil prices, owning a hybrid model minimizes the risk of sudden price hikes.

2025 Avante Hybrid Specifications and Estimated Pricing Information

The Avante comes in various trims, including Smart, Modern, N Line Modern, Inspiration, and N Line Inspiration.

Among these, I usually recommend the Modern trim for college students or new graduates,

and the hybrid model for those who drive longer distances.

Now, let’s take a look at the specifications for the 2025 Avante Hybrid based on the Modern trim.

Additionally, recommended options include safety assistance systems such as rear cross-traffic collision warning and collision avoidance assistance, included in the Hyundai Smart Sense III package (approximately 530 USD or 690,000 won),

and comfort features like power seats for the driver and front passenger, heated rear seats, and armrests included in the Comfort I package (approximately 850 USD or 1,060,000 won). If you apply these options,

the estimated purchase price will be approximately 2,500 USD (3,162,000 won).

If you want to enhance comfort features, even if it costs a bit more,

I recommend the Parking Assist Plus package (approximately 1,000 USD or 1,290,000 won), which includes a panoramic display, surround view monitor, rear side monitor, and rear parking collision avoidance assistance.

The 2025 Avante Hybrid model offers impressive fuel efficiency of 49.7 MPG (21.1 km/L), allowing for comfortable usage despite fluctuations in international oil prices.

However, many people may hesitate due to the higher price compared to the gasoline 1.6 model,

and for those individuals, I recommend the long-term rental plan from KS Autoplan, which allows you to use the vehicle without an initial deposit.

KS Autoplan collaborates with over 20 financial companies to compare all estimates based on customer conditions and present the most affordable usage fees.

With a cost structure that is more affordable compared to well-known companies like L and S, customers receive relatively lower usage fees,

and you will likely agree once you compare the estimates directly.

Not only that, but KS Autoplan also has immediate stock available for the 2025 Avante Hybrid model, which typically requires a seven-month wait for delivery,

allowing you to match your desired color and options for immediate delivery.
