Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Elantra than the Toyota Corolla. The Hyundai Elantra will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota Corolla.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Hyundai Elantra as you will with the Toyota Corolla, 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 Hyundai Elantra is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Corolla.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Elantra is much wider than the Toyota Corolla, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Hyundai Elantra takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Corolla.

Handling
The Hyundai Elantra has about the same turning radius as the Toyota Corolla, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

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

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Hyundai Elantra doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Toyota Corolla.

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