If you are looking for a sporty and stylish sedan, look no further than the Hyundai Elantra. The Elantra features a powerful engine under the hood and a wide range of high-tech features in the cabin. For years, the Elantra has been one of the most sought-after sedans in Canada; and once you get an up-close look at the car, it is not hard to see why.
To better illustrate just how impressive the Hyundai Elantra truly is, we have decided to compare it to another extremely popular sedan. Here is an in-depth look at how the Hyundai Elantra compares to the Toyota Corolla.
Interior Comfort
The Hyundai Elantra offers a spacious and comfortable interior. There is seating for up to five people, with plenty of legroom and headspace for both the front and backseat passengers. There is also a standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display; however, a 10.25-inch high-resolution touchscreen is available. Both displays come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. To add another level of convivence to the interior, the Elantra also offers an available 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
The Corolla also has seating for up to five people, but the rear seats do not provide as much legroom, and many backseat passengers complain of feeling cramped. Also, the Corolla comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen display. If you want a larger infotainment display, you can opt for the available 8-inch touchscreen. Like the Elantra, both of these infotainment displays also offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
