Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Cadillac CT5 than in the Hyundai Elantra, due to the Cadillac CT5's smaller rear head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Cadillac CT5, drivers may find the Hyundai Elantra a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac CT5 as you will with the Hyundai Elantra, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac CT5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Elantra, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac CT5 is much wider than the Hyundai Elantra, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Cadillac CT5, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Elantra.

Handling
The Cadillac CT5 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Hyundai Elantra, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac CT5 has a much more powerful engine than the Hyundai Elantra. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Cadillac CT5 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Hyundai Elantra.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Cadillac CT5 and the Hyundai Elantra.
