2016 Hyundai Elantra vs 2015 Subaru Impreza
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2015
- For well over a decade now, Hyundai has made incredible strides to bring the Korean car maker from a value alterative to a full-fledge big-time player. Speaking of Hyundai in the same sentence as Toyota, Honda and Ford is now the norm.
Although Subaru is still a little bit quirky with the brand’s symmetrical all-wheel drive and opposed engine design, Subaru of 2015 is a far cry from Subaru circa 2000. No longer are vehicles like the SVX, Baja and B9 Tribeca being churned out by the Japanese automobile manufacturer. Now, the focus is on mainstream, everyday models that general consumers should appreciate.

am i the only one who likes the subaru style? it looks rugged meant for the off road the elantra looks like a city car
I hate when people bash subaru's interior design... Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about a fancy dashboard and a bunch of technology features?
Bcomes to each his own i guess, but if im gonna spend a considerable amount of money on a product, i want it to look nice as well. it wouldnt be the most important, but definately one of the deciding factors!
skwon9642 That's understandable and not a priority for me to criticize, but you don't buy a Subaru for its looks. It may be the most bland looking in its class but it is probably the most practical, and not just because of AWD. A car like the Elantra is designed to appear to the average person, the Impreza is comparatively a niche product.
Yeah AWD is a main reason to buy a subaru over a competitor, and it's something different than your typical civic or corolla you see everywhere. Personally I've moved past the impreza and am now considering the new mazda3
Bcomes I personally considered the 2015 Mazda 3, but I didn't get it because the infotainment system looks very last-minute, it has slightly less trunk space, I didn't like the "smiley" look of the front grill, it doesn't have AWD, it costs more, and the real deal breaker - inferior rust-proofing.
industry leading safety tech
awd
fuel economy
reliability
masculine design
winner: Subaru
Don't be a fanboy and explore other cars. I can't stand people who die on that hill.
Subaru offers awd, eyesight and better crash testing. But you guys pick the car with elephant ears for vents and crappy resale. Keep smoking
OK kids , what I can tell you is I purchased the Imprezza wagon for my son about 4 years ago and it's been a fantastic vehicle . 70,000 miles and ONLY problem is a squeaky front seat . Otherwise, just tires and oil changes so far ....good luck kiddies !
If your leasing for 4 years then getting rid of it, the Elantra makes more sense, If your buying for long term, or want to have a starting platform to fiddle around with in the aftermarket, the Subaru is the way to go.
icemanroyal Not anymore. Hyundai/Kia resell value has gone up considerably.
Herc Zeus regardless, the Subaru is the safer long term bet.Especially if your looking for a starting platform to play around with in the aftermarket. I guess you missed that part.
Stfu Hyundai hypebeast. Hyundai is for females ^
I know this is a really old comment but I still drive my 2013 Elantra and the only thin I have down with it is change tires, filters, and oil changes. Also, you have got to be naive to lease an econo car lol
@@icemanroyal Aren't Subarus notorious for having blown gaskets?
These dudes are serious badasses. Hellz yeah.
There's no point in concluding which vehicle is better looking in a car review, that's the one thing that the viewer can actually tell for themselves.
Sorry guys but I would take the Subi ANY DAY, in 15 years that Subi will still be getting thumbs up from enthusiasts and the Hyundai will likely be scrapped and recycled into a toaster oven. Night and day difference. I worked for years in car sales in several different dealerships of numerous different brands, and without question Subaru has impressed me more then any other affordable brand
I agree! This guy is crazy thinking the Hyundai looks better
+Cesar Gesundheit lolololol Hyundai lol
+Enigma Cipher lol Hyundai isn't even in the same league as a Subaru. This impreza is going to still look good in 15 years. The hyundai will look like some sad halo inspired copycat. The logo itself makes me say no. Also the AWD is EXTREMELY refined in the subaru. Hyundai is not even close.
jerred gomez Agreed, that is pretty much what I said.
+Enigma Cipher yall have gone mad. nobody cares how long Subaru has been around lol what does Subaru have to compete with the Hyundai equus?? ill wait...nothing. I love the wrx sti's but to say the elantra cant compare because its made by Hyundai (Hyundai and kia easily are moving to the top of the list in sales) is absolutely crazy! I had a friend who had a 2015 Subaru wrx.....he traded it for a mustang. lol they are not THAT great
Where do you guys shoot your videos, it seems to be always cloudy where ever you guys are located?
I'm insulted by this video ...
the Elantra GT is the New I30 here in Brazil
I honestly can’t stand the way he says Elantra🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Why do you need to review the elantra again? The car is basic and doesn't deserve this much attention
DoubleD 613 Hyundai is the 4th largest automaker in the world for a reason. Subaru is a niche brand at best. Bottom of the barrel in terms of the Japanese brands.
DoubleD 613 Did you watch the video? has more tech and more gear than the Subaru and is better overall lol.
DoubleD 613 Hyundai just hired the head designer of Bentley (Part of the VW group) to take over their design team for Hyundai/Kia when their current head designer (Former head designer for Audi) retires in 2 years.
And they also took the head of the BMW M division to start up their new performance division which will be in showrooms soon.
P.S. Subaru is nowhere near Hyundai in terms of resources and talent. They don't have Lotus Engineering refining their suspension like Hyundai has in their back pocket for example.
DoubleD 613 They are doing bracket knockout rounds for who is the best compact car out there right now. They asked some fans to fill out the bracket, supposedly give out gifts when they agrees with them. I got most of the picks same as AutoGuide but I haven't got anything from them. A bunch of liars!!!
DoubleD 613 You obviously have never driven an Elantra GT ...
There's some good points in the review. I like both cars for different reasons. I've driven the Impreza but not the Elantra GT. For a reference point I've driven the Elantra sedan with the 2.0 engine, which delivered a good sense of power delivery and how it would be in the GT hatchback. I agree on how the Elantra GT could edge out the Impreza. It's the feature content, quality, warranty and more. Hyundai never had a Takata airbag issue as did some of the Japanese competition and that's reason enough for some to consider on the overall choice on purchase. I still keep both on the list for the difference reasons. Previously owning a Hyundai with absolutely perfect reliability would be one reason to get an Elantra, yet I tested an Impreza and it's just a overall comfortable car, yet felt like it could use some more power. Either one would make any owner happy. Fairly soon a new Impreza will be out in the market and things will get even more competitive, with a new Chevrolet Cruze about to debut, it will be interesting to see where the compact market is headed.
UK market did not get this Subaru with 2 litre engine. It only had 1.6 litres although it still drives very good, engine sounds ace when revved.
I have a White 2014 Elantra GT, 14K Miles, no mechanical or electrical issues, MPG=26-30 (city) and 31+ Highway, I get compliments sometimes, because you don't see many. Also with 173 hp, it's plenty of power for the weight of this vehicle does fantastic on the highways, 0-60 mph is okay but 60-90 mph is way more fun lol
Thank you for the review guys! I fully agree that Elantra wins hands down. Better in value, design, quality and performance.
Ah.... hard not to comment on this older video. When you are saying that one company focuses on safety, efficiency and capability... and the other focuses on the most features and sex-appeal.... the "winner" should be clear.
Safety v.s. Sex-appeal? Lol
You guys are high. I test drove both. I wouldn't even consider the Elantra. Now the Sonata's a different story...very nice. But different price point.
subie 4 life
Some of the features mentioned that they said the Elantra has, the Impreza has too. The way I see, the only major advantages the Elantra has over the Impreza are the aesthetics, ride comfort, and slightly more powerful engine.
That interior in the Hyundai is hideous, I would take the Subaru even with the under powered engine.
That Impreza is hideous
Sorry it's not a wrx Sti, bitch boy
Can you guys compare the 2015 Toyota Avalon and the 2015 Lexus ES 350?
I know they're the same, but I was amazed of the quality of the Avalon, and I don't see why someone would spend more money on the ES this time around.
Because American consumers are brainwashed by status symbol. i.e Lexus badging is more 'prestigious' than a Toyota logo.
Luxury service at a lexus dealership.
How I don't know .. Better mpg and the best awd . The Impreza all the way the 17s will blow you away
Let me tell u something. The Impreza does have heated seats and other accessories. Idk y u say subaru don't offers that
+Osvaldo Valencia Yea I own a 2015 Sport Premium Impreza and it came with heated seats and a ton of other accessories they just tossed in. It's done fine out here in the PNW including during the current insane snow we've been getting.
+Patrick Runge yeah I know. I have seen some nice Impreza models. And they even have eye sight. This guys should get inform better before doing a car review. A Impreza can be a cheap car or it can be a really nice with tons accessories. It just really depends on what the buyer wants. And yes Subaru will always do good in the snow.
I got my first AWD 15 years ago and I'm never getting another FWD car. For the $28,385 as tested price on this Impreza they should have gone with the base WRX ($26,595) instead. I'll take that over any Elantra every day of the week.
I feel like yall are just reviewing the same cars over and over again. Where's the fresh product?
The two cars I'm considering, and this video just made it harder to choose
I agree. I currently have a Sonata, so you know I enjoy Hyundai. But since I live in MN the Impreza is catching my eye with the all wheel drive. I still have a couple of years till my lease is up. Maybe by then there will be a more clear difference????
the Subaru got a new look, but personally, I like the look of this year much better
And I cannot believe they think the Hyundai is so sexy. Credibility lost.
You only buy the subaru for the awd...
Mario dablife Racist!
Herc Zeus SFV 818 skinhead wat can i say?
I buy the Subaru because I aspire to be a rally racer :D *sarcasm*
+Mario dablife i dont want korean cars cuz they're not reliable.... Just like the korean people
Showta Ito Racist and not informed. They are very reliable. Better problems per 100 vehicles than Toyota/Honda. According to JD Power. Not including 2015 Toyota was #1 in recalls the last 5 years in a row.
Both are good
This channel loves econoboxes. Why do I keep coming back?
motormusique You cant resist!
buildmorefarms100 If I see that Elantra in one more of their videos I am going to send them some hate mail.
elantra sales in usa or worldwide talks everything subaru never bit hyundai...
hard choice
Thith guy ith one of my favorite reviewerth.
Hahahahahahahahahaha
A to the W to the D...
I'm amazed that they chose to use a guy with a lisp in a speaking role lol. Thith theat in the Thubaru....jesus fuck man. Thumbs down for making my ears bleed.
What kind of comparison is this?!! AWD with a FWD?!! The are very different cars.
An Elantra GT... built with a sporty package... Vs a CVT bog standard Impreza. Yah.... Good selection to compare?
DootDoot AND YOU ARE A BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!
DootDoot And the Impreza still cost more.
DootDoot Agreed. Subaru is garbage.
Herc Zeus Ha!
Once the second guy came out talking with the lisp I died laughing lol sorry
subaru was caught lying in their quality tests, hyundai all the way
Thesedays hyundai engine and transmission is best ever. Also you guys know about fuel economy for subaru's awd.. I don't think that much...subaru owners are gonna angry for that
Is it just me or is the Hyundai just a total Ford Focus styling rip off? I guess that's what Korean corporations do though.
MP3
Subaru reliability is in the toilet. It's a far cry from the non-interference EJ days.
Martin Espinoza Subaru got Blanked off the JD Power Reliability rankings.... They have motors that burn excessive engine oil, Crazy head gasket problems in the last 5 years.. Writing off thousands and thousands of vehicles. Subaru in the 90's was all about reliability, You frequently see Subaru's from the 90's with 500-600k on them and going strong..... Your lucky to see 2005-2010 Subaru's on the road. They just don't last anymore.
DootDoot Wow I had no idea it was so bad... I'll be buying a car before the end of the year, Subaru was on my list. Glad I saw this comment
Martin Espinoza AND YOU ARE A BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!
DootDoot AND YOU ARE A BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!
Martin Espinoza AND YOU ARE A BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!
subaru is better but ugly!
The Subaru will outlast the Elantra.
im sorry but i would go for the subaru and i will, man fuck FWD, why does every car manufacturer destroy their cars with this shit. as sson as i find a good car with great tech ofcourse its FWD only. *..sigh..* >:(
Hyundai interior styling like ford, i puke on both.
TheKsae I don't think they're that bad. I prefer Hyundai's interior over Ford's though, since it involves less buttons. The Impreza might have a boring interior but it's much easier to use.
Subaru es mejor que Hyundai
Did Hyundai steal the grill right off an Audi
Sapient Budgie No. The former head designer of Audi is the current head designer of Hyundai. He invented the grill.
Sapient Budgie its Hyundai's grill,audi copied...
In 2008, Audi changed the game for most car companies. Everyone from BMW, Mercedes to the Hyundai borrowed designed elements from their interior to exterior. The large single frame grill is showing up on every car now. The LED front lights are now on every 10 dollar car. The only the Audi has borrowed from Hyundai is...is...well nothing.
Sapient Budgie In 2006 hyundai invented this hexogonal grill,audi always had rounded grill not hexoganal,in 2012 audi got this hexoganal grill...P.S yes i agree with you that every car company borrows something from each other,its not a secret,but saying like some idiots that everyone copies from germans-these people are sick idiots.
Nothing to do with hexagon grill. It is the grill that goes below the license plate. The large single frame. Nobody had that. Hyundai invented nothing and has copied every car manufacturer. They are the car to go to if you want a lot of features for less money.
Hyundai maybe look nicer, but Subaru holds its value way more than Hyundai in three years down the road, Subaru hits 55K it will be still worth a little over 20k.
Both are great cars, but i would go for the Subaru.
But which would rather have looks or safety.
Subaru won.
1
Both are horrible. the Dodge Dart is the better compact car out there
Jaylen Bond LOL!
Lol you're a funny guy
Jaylen Bond Dodge crap no thanks
Kenneth Joe Dodge now owned by the Italians that is . . .
Jaylen Bond Dodge Dart? I could laugh so hard, man! The Yank tanks are not in the same league with the Japanese or Korean cars. Elantra could eat Dart up for a lunch and dinner!! Don't even think about it. Elantra sold over 1 million worldwide. Dart? Do they ever export to other countries? Just only sold in the US...
