Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai Elantra offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Hyundai Elantra HEV with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Hyundai Elantra and the Hyundai Elantra HEV in the front seats.

Convenience
With the Hyundai Elantra HEV you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Elantra, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Hyundai Elantra will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Hyundai Elantra HEV.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Elantra is about the same width as the Hyundai Elantra HEV. When looking at overall length, the Hyundai Elantra takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Hyundai Elantra HEV.
