With gas prices climbing above $1.95/L in several regions of Quebec, more and more drivers are looking for a more affordable solution. Here is how a Hyundai hybrid or electric model can change your day-to-day costs.
In Repentigny and across the North Shore, the cost of gas is pushing many drivers to rethink their vehicle choice. In 2026, driving a hybrid or electric model is no longer just a matter of technology preference. It is also a financial decision that can have a real impact on your monthly budget.

Rising gas prices in Quebec: a reality that changes everything
As of April 9, 2026, gas prices in Quebec remain high, with averages above $1.95/L in regions such as Montreal and Capitale-Nationale. For drivers in Repentigny, Mascouche, Terrebonne and Laval, this represents a significant expense that directly affects the monthly budget.
Take a simple example: a driver covering 20,000 km per year in a gas-powered vehicle consuming 8 L/100 km will spend about $3,120 per year on fuel at $1.95/L.
Why this matters in Repentigny
On the North Shore, daily travel adds up quickly between work, school, errands and activities. Reducing cost per kilometre can make a real difference to a household's annual budget.
Hyundai hybrids: what you need to know about costs
Hyundai hybrid vehicles can be an interesting solution for drivers who want to reduce their reliance on gasoline while keeping the habits of a conventional vehicle. The key is to compare each model carefully based on your real needs.
Estimated fuel consumption:
- 7.5 L/100 km in the city
- 5.9 L/100 km on the highway
- 6.8 L/100 km combined
With 20,000 km per year and a combined fuel consumption of 6.8 L/100 km, the estimated annual fuel cost is about $2,652.
Compared to a vehicle consuming 8 L/100 km, that represents savings of about $468 per year.
Estimated fuel consumption:
- 9.7 L/100 km in the city
- 7.7 L/100 km on the highway
- 8.8 L/100 km combined
With 20,000 km per year and a combined fuel consumption of 8.8 L/100 km, the estimated annual fuel cost is about $3,432.
This type of model can still appeal to drivers looking for a spacious, versatile and electrified Hyundai SUV, but it is important to compare the real costs based on your usage rather than assume automatic savings compared to every gas-powered vehicle.
Hyundai electric vehicles: where savings can become even more noticeable
With a fully electric vehicle, energy costs can drop significantly compared to gasoline. That is why models like the Hyundai Kona Electric and Hyundai IONIQ 5 are drawing so much attention in Quebec.
Using residential charging costs as an example, which are much lower than the cost of gasoline, many drivers quickly notice the difference in their monthly expenses. The exact cost will depend on the model, annual mileage, charging habits and the rate you pay.
The Hyundai Kona Electric is well suited to daily driving. Its compact size makes it practical for city driving, parking and regular trips between home, work and activities.
For a driver who wants to reduce reliance on gasoline, it is often an option worth serious consideration.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 stands out for its space, technology and comfort. It is especially appealing to drivers looking for a modern, versatile family electric vehicle.
For many North Shore drivers, it offers a tangible way to reduce energy-related costs while enjoying an advanced driving experience.
