Buying a new car is a big deal, and you want to have all your facts straight before you make a choice. Doing your homework before you buy can take a lot of time and effort, though, so Brannon Honda is here to simplify the process for you.
If you’ve done any browsing in the compact car class, odds are you’ve added the Honda Civic and the Hyundai Elantra to your list of top contenders – great choices! These are both quality cars that have a lot of fantastic things going for them. But they’re not equals in some key ways.
Below, we’ll take a look at how the 2020 Honda Civic and the 2020 Hyundai Elantra stack up in a few important areas, and let you decide for yourself which one comes out on top.
The quality of your car’s cabin is an important consideration. The 2020 Honda Civic has one of the nicest interiors in the class, with high-quality materials, soft surfaces, and a focus on comfort throughout all trims and all three body styles. The design is modern and upscale, and there is ample room for up to five occupants in both spacious rows of supportive seating.
The 2020 Hyundai Elantra falls short in terms of cabin quality. Materials used in the design are solid, but they aren’t quite up to par when viewed side by side with the Civic. Taller occupants may find themselves wishing there were a bit more headroom.
Honda has made great strides toward prioritizing road safety across the board. It has equipped every trim of the 2020 Civic with the brand’s exclusive package of smart safety equipment, collectively known as Honda Sensing. That means even the entry-level Civic will receive valuable features like forward collision warning, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and collision mitigation braking. The Civic excels in national safety ratings.
The Hyundai Elantra does have similar safety features available, but the base model is sparsely equipped with these systems – meaning you’ll have to shell out more money to get an Elantra that’s as safety-minded as the Civic. The Elantra comes up short in safety ratings, as well.
The 2020 Civic offers a spirited road performance and plenty of energy derived from its lineup of peppy engines. The base engine is a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 158 horsepower that offers strong acceleration and excellent fuel efficiency.
Meanwhile, the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2020 Elantra is less powerful, at just 147 horsepower.
