2018 Toyota Corolla vs. 2018 Hyundai Elantra

Active safety features are commonly offered in new models, but it takes a special sedan to include them in every trim. That’s where the Corolla’s Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) package comes in handy:

• Adaptive Cruise Control for stress-free driving on Interstate 69
• Collision Prevention Braking with added pedestrian detection
• Automatic High-Beams to better light your way near Bowling Green
• Lane Departure Prevention to ensure your Corolla stays between the lines

While many of those safety features can be added to the Elantra, you’ll end up paying more in options packages or upgraded trims. In addition, the Elantra doesn’t even include a rearview camera in the base trim, which is an expected feature in a sedan.

When headed out on long road trips from Madisonville, a comfortable interior will keep your family happy. The Corolla offers the following measurements:

• Front Headroom: 38.3 inches
• Rear Headroom: 37.1 inches
• Front Hip Room: 53 inches
• Rear Hip Room: 43.9 inches
• Front Leg Room: 42.3 inches
• Rear Leg Room: 41.4 inches
• Front Shoulder Room: 54.8 inches
• Rear Shoulder Room: 54.8 inches

While the Elantra offers a capable interior in many areas, legroom can be a problem. It only offers 42.2 inches in the front and 35.7 inches in the rear. For your rear seat passengers, that extra room to stretch out will come in handy.
