Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Crown than the Hyundai Sonata, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Hyundai Sonata will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota Crown.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Hyundai Sonata as you will with the Toyota Crown, 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). Based on MSRP, the Hyundai Sonata is clearly a better financial choice over the Toyota Crown.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Sonata is a little wider than the Toyota Crown, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Hyundai Sonata takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Crown.

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

Performance
The Hyundai Sonata has less horsepower than the Toyota Crown, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Hyundai Sonata transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Toyota Crown.

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