A 10 YEAR, 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY PROVES HOW WELL THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA COMPARES TO OTHER CARS IN ITS CLASS

For families that are asking if they should purchase the 2016 Hyundai Elantra or Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Mazda3, Nissan Sentra, Toyota Corolla, or one of the other compact sedans in their class, the comparison is ultimately easy to make, as Hyundai is so confident in their product that they offer the Elantra with a 10 year, 100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty, which easily surpasses the 5 year, 60,000 mile powertrain limited warranty that is standard with other automakers.  While a car company only offers a vehicle with a 10 year warranty if they have total faith in the engineering and craftsmanship that went into creating it, this clear demonstration of the 2016 Hyundai Elantra's durability and reliability is still only part of the reason why it compares favorably with all competitors.

COMFORT AND VERSATILITY THAT CLEARS THE FIELD OF COMPETITORS

Compared to other vehicles in its class, the 2016 Hyundai Elantra features the best combination of interior amenities and capability, creating ideal riding conditions for driver and passenger alike.  The Elantra offers heated rear seats, for instance, while the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Mazda3, Nissan Sentra, and Toyota Corolla do not.  It's also the only compact sedan in its tier that comes with standard satellite radio, while the Elantra's 110.4 cubic feet of total interior volume beats out the 103.9 cubic feet provided by the Ford Focus as well as the 107.1 and 108.7 cubic feet of interior space offered by the Honda Civic and Mazda, respectively.  In a direct Hyundai Elantra vs Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla comparison, the 14.8 cubic feet of cargo volume that's sported by the 2016 Elantra bests the 13.2 cubic feet offered by the Focus and the 13.0 cubic feet featured by the Corolla, even.  For families that are deciding between the Hyundai Elantra or Mazda3, the Elantra also features 60/40 split folding seats standard while the Mazda doesn't, meaning that it's a more adaptable people and cargo mover.

THE 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA OFFERS THE BEST PERFORMANCE FOR YOUR DOLLAR

In terms of performance, the 37 MPG highway fuel economy provided by the standard 1.8L I-4 engine on the 2016 Hyundai Elantra, with 38 MPG highway attainable when paired with an automatic transmission, easily beats the 36 MPG rating yielded by the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, and Mazda3, while its 145 hp output bests the 143 hp turned out by the base motor on the Honda Civic and easily outpaces the 130 hp available with the Mazda3 and the 132 horses that strain to move the Toyota Corolla.  In a direct Hyundai Elantra vs Toyota Corolla comparison, the Elantra's 130 lb-ft of torque applies more force than the 128 lb-ft generated by the Corolla, while the 6-speed automatic transmission provides smoother acceleration than the 4-speed automatic found on the Toyota.  An available 2.0L I-4 on the 2016 Hyundai Elantra Sport trim even generates a taut 173 hp that makes highway passing easy and worry-free.

THE 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA OFFERS 5-STAR SAFETY

If your family is wondering if they should select the Hyundai Elantra or Nissan Sentra, the question basically boils down to safety.  Whereas the Nissan Sentra has only achieved a 4-Star Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Elantra has earned a sterling 5-Star grade.  It also offers an available 7-inch touchscreen that's larger than the 5.8 inch device found on the Sentra.  In a direct Hyundai Elantra vs Mazda3 comparison, safety even pushes the Elantra to the front again, as it's offered with an available driver blind spot mirror that cannot be purchased with the Mazda.
