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.
