Who has the Right Sedan to Meet the Needs of
Tennessee? Twin City Hyundai is Here to Investigate!
The right sedan can be an excellent and affordable

sedans, often times you might have to choose between a safe SUV, an affordable
one, or a convenient and entertaining one. Here at Twin City Hyundai, we are
here to tell you that those attributes do not have to be mutually-exclusive with
the 2018 Hyundai Elantra! This spacious and convenient sedan is a Top Safety
Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and features just
the right blend of practicality and fun for a lot less! However, we know you
might not be completely convinced by just a few short words, so for the smart
shoppers like you, we conducted some research and compared this sedan
side-by-side against some other well-known competitors of this sedan class, so
you can decide for yourself which is more important for your needs and your
future! Let us explore some of the best features of the Hyundai Elantra and how
it stacks up against some of its worthy competitors: the Toyota Corolla, Honda
Civic, and Nissan Sentra!
Our Hyundai dealership in Alcoa, Tennessee is
proudly serving Sevierville and we are ready to help find you your next
convenient sedan!
Hyundai Elantra vs Toyota Corolla
We begin our comparisons with the Toyota Corolla,
one of the most well-known sedans of the Toyota brand. While Toyota models are
known for their efficiency and style, this particular model falls short of the
Hyundai Elantra in a few important ways.
When it comes to pricing, you will find
that the Hyundai Elantra begins at a much more comfortable starting price of
$16,950, making negotiation a lot simpler. The Toyota Corolla begins at
$18,600, which is over $1,500 more than the Hyundai Elantra.
For your safety and convenience, the Hyundai
Elantra comes available with a number of convenience features in all trim
levels, so you never have to feel like you are missing out on anything
important, no matter which you choose! Such features include remote keyless
entry with a panic button, an available auto-dimming rearview mirror, available
compass, and an available HomeLink Universal Garage Door Opener. These features
are all unavailable on the base trim levels of the Toyota
Corolla.
Hyundai Elantra vs Honda Civic
The Hyundai Elantra has a few additional
entertainment features, in all of its trim levels, over the Honda Civic, such
as a CD Player, CD/MP3 player, and an iPod jack for your smartphone or mobile
device. These features are unavailable from the base trim level of the Honda
Civic and must be upgraded with a higher trim level.
The starting price of the Hyundai Elantra is
almost $2,000 cheaper than the Honda Civic and the warranties of the Elantra
extend a lot further as well, giving you protection of the powertrain
components for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The
Powertrain Warranty of the Honda Civic covers this sedan for five years or
60,000 miles.
Hyundai Elantra vs Nissan Sentra
In terms of interior space, both the
Nissan Sentra and the Hyundai Elantra are pretty evenly matched with their
passenger volume. However, the Elantra has a lot more room to offer your
passengers in the back seat with 37.3 inches of head room, 55.3 of shoulder
room, and up to 52 inches of hip room. The Nissan Sentra falls short, with
about 36.7 inches of rear head room, 43.9 inches of shoulder room, and 50.1
inches of hip room.
As is the case with many other Hyundai models, the
engine of the Elantra sedan gives you a fantastic blend of fuel efficiency and
speed. The I4 engine of the Elantra generates about 147 horsepower and 132
pound-feet of torque as it drives from Knoxville to Maryville and features a
fuel capacity of 14 gallons. The I4 engine of the Nissan Sentra generates 130
horsepower, 128 pound-feet of torque, and its fuel capacity is about 13.2
gallons.
