Toyota Corolla vs Hyundai Elantra: Engine Capabilities

When you really want to get moving, the Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra are built to give you a ton of fun with their impressive engines. The Hyundai Elantra is designed with a standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with up to 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque to give you a smooth ride.

The Toyota Corolla, though, can be upgraded with an available 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that generates up to 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is designed to give you exceptional performance, especially when you're getting on the highway. Unfortunately, the Elantra doesn't offer an optional engine for you to select.


Toyota Corolla vs Hyundai Elantra: Standard Safety Features

If you're looking to enhance your confidence when driving on highways, the Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra feature numerous standard safety features. One of the most exciting features is the standard Automatic Emergency Braking system, which can stop your sedan if you're coming up too quickly on a car ahead.

Drivers on the highway will also have an easy time with these sedans, thanks to Adaptive Cruise Control technology, which helps your vehicle match the speed of traffic ahead. This feature is standard aboard the Toyota Corolla; however, you'll have to go up to the higher trims to get it with the Hyundai Elantra.


Toyota Corolla vs Hyundai Elantra: Premium Audio Technology

Who doesn't love having some good music playing on their commute? The Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra are both designed with premium audio technology. Aboard the Toyota Corolla, you'll enjoy an available 9-speaker JBL® premium audio system that will deliver the high-quality audio you want when you're rocking out behind the wheel.

Unfortunately, the Hyundai Elantra doesn't offer the same number of speakers. It only gives you an available Bose® premium audio system with eight speakers. While this system offers some pretty good sound quality, it doesn't quite match up to what the Toyota Corolla can do.


Should I Drive the Toyota Corolla or the Hyundai Elantra

With the versatility on display with both the Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra, you'll be in for a treat when you head out on your next adventure. However, if you want more engine power and technology, we think you may want to get ahold of the Toyota Corolla.
