Engine Options & Fuel Economy
Hyundai Elantra
The Elantra comes in a number of trim levels. Each of the three variants has a different engine, and there are significant differences between the models in terms of range and performance.
The type of transmissions varies per model. In addition to the standard continuously variable automatic transmission that comes with the 2.0-liter engine, the Elantra N is also offered with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Every Elantra comes equipped with front-wheel drive. For the majority of purchasers, the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is a solid option, although it has limited highway overtaking capability. The Elantra Hybrid is a fantastic choice for individuals looking to save money on petrol since it offsets its premium price tag with outstanding fuel economy.
The Elantra offers excellent fuel economy for a compact vehicle. Compared to 30/40 mpg for the SEL and Limited variants, the Elantra SE gets an estimated 33 mpg in the city and 42 mpg on the highway. The Elantra N Line achieves an outstanding 28/36 mpg. The Elantra N achieves 20/30 mpg with its automatic transmission and a less-than-ideal but still respectable 22/31 mpg with its manual transmission.
Toyota Corolla
The Corolla has a continuously variable automatic transmission and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 169 horsepower (CVT). For SE and Apex SE models, a six-speed manual transmission is extra. While the engine is the same for all hatchbacks, the sedan additionally has a hybrid option. Unfortunately, rapid acceleration led to rough engine noises that detracted from their elegance.
The Corolla sedan provides a highly frugal hybrid option in addition to a four-cylinder engine. According to the EPA, the front-drive hybrid will get 52 mpg on the interstate and 53 mpg in the city. In contrast, the government predicts that the non-hybrid 2.0-liter engine with 169 horsepower will achieve up to 40 mpg on the highway. The Corolla hatchback has a city/highway fuel economy rating of up to 32 mpg.

Infotainment & Features
Hyundai Elantra
Hyundai offers the Elantra from 2023 with two different infotainment systems. The majority of trims come standard with an 8-inch touch screen and an analog gauge cluster. The touch screen responds quickly, has simple menus, and can wirelessly connect to your smartphone to run Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It also has straightforward touch controls for the temperature and music.
On the Elantra N and Limited grades, a more simplified system with a 10.2-inch touch screen and complementary digital instrument cluster is offered.
