Top Corolla Advantages Over Elantra

Make no mistake: Hyundai has thrown down the gauntlet in the compact segment with its recently redesigned Elantra. This is an all-new generation that breaks new ground for the brand in styling, engineering and performance. And it builds on the momentum established by the introduction of the 2011 Sonata, sharing many of the same design cues found on Elantra’s bigger sibling.

However, Toyota has sold more than 34 million Corollas since its introduction and is not about to take this challenge lightly. This Edge documents Corolla’s key advantages over Elantra.

Look inside for detailed info about this summary, important safety information and disclaimers.

• More select standard features Items such as air conditioning, tilt/telescopic steering column and cruise control are standard on Corolla LE. To get these features on Elantra GLS, you either have to choose a $1,250 option package, or spend $2,250 more for a GLS with automatic transmission.

• Standard Bluetooth® technology On Elantra you have to pay extra for hands-free phone, phone-book access and streaming music. Even steering wheel audio controls cost extra. But not on Corolla LE.

Lower cost at purchase: LE vs GLS

When you equip the Elantra to match some of the features on the Corolla LE, you find that it’s the Toyota with the price advantage—not the Hyundai.

Lower cost at purchase: L vs GLS

Hyundai does offer the entry-level Elantra at an eye-catching MSRP1 of $15,550. But look closer and you discover this vehicle is lacking some basic features that most customers want, such as automatic transmission and air conditioning. Add those to the mix, and Elantra’s apparent MSRP1 advantage disappears—and then some.

More rear head room and leg room

Hyundai has called attention to Elantra’s aggressive exterior styling. But its swooping roofline— compared with Corolla’s more conventional lines—comes at the cost of rear passenger room on two key measures.

More select standard features

Although Hyundai boasts about high feature levels, items such as Bluetooth®4 technology, air conditioning, telescoping steering column and cruise control aren’t standard on Elantra. But they are on Corolla LE.
