The Hyundai Elantra and the Honda Civic are both considered sporty "fun-sized" vehicles that are a delight to drive. Looking beyond their dimensional similarities, though, reveals sizeable differences, especially when it comes to technology. The Elantra provides many more standard tech features than the Civic. Enjoying state-of-the-art tech without having to upgrade? Now that's what we call fun!

You can zip around town in style in either the Hyundai Elantra or the Toyota Corolla. Still, thanks to its greater power output and the larger trunk in the Elantra, you'll enjoy every trip even more than in the Corolla. Plus, with its additional standard safety features, you'll also enjoy greater peace of mind.

When you're looking for a stylish sedan that delivers a sporty performance, you'd do well to consider either the Hyundai Elantra or the Mazda3. That said, the Elantra will take you farther in between pit stops. Plus, you'll have much more headroom behind the wheel and stay connected without cords for a clutter-free cabin. For a truly comprehensive experience, choose the Hyundai.

The Hyundai Elantra features comfortable seating for five, with front/rear headroom of 1,030/947 millimetres (40.6/37.3 inches) and front/rear legroom of 1,074/964 millimetres (42.3/38 inches), giving everyone room to relax on daily commutes and longer drives. Premium cloth or available leather upholstery, adjustable seating, climate control, and standard heated front seats help create a welcoming atmosphere for every trip.

Enhanced Exterior

The Elantra is marked by a variety of edgy design elements that make your presence known. The "shark-nose" front end is sculpted to perfection, enhanced by LED headlights that carve through the night with precision.

Each trim has its own wheel design, ranging from 15- to 18-inch wheels. Which of the eight paint options will you choose to leave your mark? Are you a fan of timeless shades like Abyss Black or Ecotronic Grey, or will you opt for the daring Ultimate Red or Intense Blue?

Carve up highways and narrow city streets with the optimized maneuverability thanks to its strategic, compact size:

Tight or on-street parking is made easy with the Hyundai Elantra, and its compact size is only half the equation. A standard rearview camera with dynamic guidelines projects your vehicle's path as you back into a spot.

Invigorating Interior

With so much time spent travelling around town, it's essential that your next vehicle is more like an on-road companion rather than a way to get around. The Hyundai Elantra has all the home-like amenities needed to feel like you're relaxing on the couch rather than battling rush-hour traffic. And, just like your living space, the Elantra can be customized to meet your expectations.

Meanwhile, everyone on board will be able to stow their gear within its 402-litre (14.2-cubic-foot) cargo hold. As you're setting off on an adventure, you and your passengers can enjoy the available power tilt-and-slide sunroof, which makes the cabin feel even more spacious.

The Hyundai Elantra comes with front-wheel drive, which helps support fuel efficiency, delivering a standard 7.5 city/5.9 highway L/100 km; upper trims achieve 7.8 city/5.9 highway L/100 km, while even the Elantra N Line Ultimate returns 8.4 city/6.7 highway L/100 km . * No matter if you're commuting daily or heading out on a road trip, the Elantra helps you travel farther between fill-ups.

Pick Your Power

Everyone has their own definition of excitement. The Hyundai Elantra lets you choose how much oomph your sedan delivers by selecting one of two powertrains. This enables you to choose the output that you require. Which are you most excited about?

• Standard 2.0L engine: 147 horsepower/132 lb-ft of torque
• Optional 1.6L turbo engine: 201 horsepower/195 lb-ft of torque

Depending on which trim level you choose, your Elantra will either come with a Smartstream® Intelligent Variable Transmission or a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. Each delivers smooth transitions between gear ratios and quick acceleration for seamless merges onto the highway.

Drive Mode Select is standard on all trim levels and provides three modes to adjust the engine and transmission to your driving style. Smart Mode maximizes fuel efficiency, while Sport Mode increases throttle response for a zippier ride. On the days you want a balance between the two, Normal Mode delivers sporty efficiency. Which mode will you try out first?

Exceptional Efficiency

The Hyundai Elantra enables you to keep moving forward. This highly efficient sedan lets you spend more time driving to the places you love and less time at the gas station. Although there are minor variations depending on which model of the Elantra you choose, each one delivers.

An optional hybrid configuration achieves an estimated 4.8 city/4.5 highway L/100 km rating for optimized efficiency.^*

Thanks to its standard 47-litre (12.4 gallon) tank, you can travel up to 796 kilometres (495 miles) before stopping to refuel. As a result, you'll be able to keep moving forward and keep the pump where it belongs--in the rearview.

The Hyundai Elantra includes a 5-year/100,000 km New Vehicle Limited Warranty and Powertrain Warranty, an 8-year/130,000 km Major Emission Warranty, plus Roadside Assistance coverage for five years with unlimited kilometres. This comprehensive protection helps provide added confidence and peace of mind long after you drive off the lot.

Progressive Infotainment

Whether you're commuting to work, running local errands, or heading out on vacation, having the right soundtrack can make the trip more enjoyable. Using standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, and its 8-inch touchscreen, you can access your preferred playlist or podcast. Dual USB ports in both the front and second rows come standard, so everyone on board can "plug in."

Raising the ante in the tech department is a variety of available upgrades, including:

• Wireless device charging pad
• 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation
• Bose® premium sound system with 8 speakers

With any of these upgrades installed in your Elantra, your friends and family will ooh and ahh every time they step into the cabin.

SmartSense™ Safety

SmartSense™ is Hyundai's network of advanced safety technologies. They use advanced monitoring technology to constantly scan your vehicle's surroundings. When conditions are met, these systems provide alerts or may use gentle braking or steering to help keep you alert and safe. Among the many standard and available systems in the Elantra that help keep you out of harm's way are:

• High Beam Assist
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
• Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keeping Assist
• Driver Attention Warning
• Adaptive Cruise Control with stop & go capability

Hyundai SmartSense™ ensures your time spent on unpredictable roads is smooth and serene. Once you arrive at your destination, available Safe Exit Warning keeps the protection rolling. This feature monitors the flanks of your vehicle, ensuring no vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians are passing by as you plan to open the door.
