Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Hyundai Elantra HEV than in the Toyota Crown, due to the Hyundai Elantra HEV's smaller rear head- and legroom. The Hyundai Elantra HEV will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota Crown.

Convenience
The Hyundai Elantra HEV will require fewer stops at the gas station than the Toyota Crown, making it more convenient to drive.

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). Based on MSRP, the Hyundai Elantra HEV is clearly a better financial choice over the Toyota Crown.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Elantra HEV is about the same width as the Toyota Crown. If you go with the Hyundai Elantra HEV, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Toyota Crown.

Handling
The Hyundai Elantra HEV has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Crown, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai Elantra HEV is significantly less powerful than the Toyota Crown. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Hyundai Elantra HEV has much less torque than the Toyota Crown, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

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