Hyundai Elantra vs. Sonata: What's the Difference? | Prices, Exterior, Interior, Driving & More

Hyundai is known for offering feature-rich cars at a competitive price. The two cars that best exemplify these qualities are the Hyundai Elantra and the Hyundai Sonata. In this video, Ryan ZumMallen from Edmunds takes an in-depth look at these two Hyundai sedans and details what makes them different. We also explain which one would be the best fit for you.
The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is a compact sedan that you can find for an affordable price. The 2020 Elantra looks sharp and offers a lot of features for the money, especially when compared to competitors from Honda and Mazda. It's an easy-to-drive compact sedan that gets good EPA fuel economy estimates, making for an enticing commuter car that has an average CarMax price under $20,000 (excluding taxes, tags, and fees).
The 2020 Hyundai Sonata is a midsize sedan that costs a bit more. Redesigned for the 2020 model year, the Sonata offers a ton of modern tech features-the headliner is the available Remote Smart Parking Assist system. This feature lets you move the Sonata from the outside, which might help in tricky parking situations. Hyundai also gave the Sonata a fresh new look to go with its updated interior. The 2020 Sonata looks sportier than previous models thanks to an aggressively-styled grille with daytime running lights.
Hyundai's sedans offer up quite a bang for your buck when shopping for a used car. The Elantra and Sonata both provide plenty of room, great EPA-estimated gas mileage, and neat technology features. But what are the biggest differences between the two and which of these used sedans is the right car for you and your lifestyle? This is our comparison review of the Hyundai Elantra and Hyundai Sonata.

I just bought a 2020 Sonata limited and I disagree with this review my car is a head turner and it is really fun to drive especially in sport mode. I’m coming from a luxury SRX Cadillac that I loved but I’m in love with my Sonata

[@PaniniUkraine]

So how do you rate it out of 10?

[@lukesos3293]

Obviously your gonna disagree but your opinion is biased and shit

[@FisherZ25]

Was it the one w 147hp or 201hp 😂 I think I know which one

[@alansomach7920]

Recently purchased a 2021 Sonata Sel Plus with the new Technology package , 1.6 turbo engine and I absolutely Love it ,the saftey features alone are amazing and have saved me numerous times already . The ride is very comfortable and the entertainment center is amazing as well with all its buttons and options asy to use and relatively fast the panoramic moonroof is amazing as well and when opened adds a tremendous amount of light into the car. The 12 speaker bose stereo sounds awesome and the ride is comfortable and smooth . I would definitely recommend the 2021 Sonata Sel Plus with technology package to Anybody looking for a new car with amazing saftey options and great fuel economy!!

Love ur car

[@enoshwande1879]

When it gets old Kindly send it to me in Africa

[@assassin971]

Just to let everyone know used cars are as expensive as news 2020 sonata limited used on CarMax right now is 31k

[@assassin971]

@D. R. I would recommend see if your bank has any auto programs for a dealership and buy new if you want a current year or certified used

[@jeepguy95]

I wouldn't say the Sonata is an "Economy Car". Good fuel economy, yes, but it's more of a family sedan than an economy car.

[@goochigoochs3836]

So true, if you consider the physical size. For the value compared to its rivals, it is the best choice in terms of "economics". 100,000 miles warranty plus more than $2K less than the competitions trim-to-trim. I know since I almost got the 2021 Camry LE and thank goodness I discovered the Sonata SEL while looking for a new car.

[@rithe07]

What does economy car even mean?

[@Anonymous-ji4sb]

The Elantra Carmax sold me was a total disaster from day one, I traded it in for a new sonata and it wasn’t that much better honestly.

[@radezzientertainment501]

dang so what'd you end up with?

[@Anonymous-ji4sb]

@@radezzientertainment501 I went back to Nissan, 2021 Altima. I got it right before the 💩 hit the fan with the chip shortage so I got a good deal on it. I didn’t really fit in it that well and CarMax offered me more than what I paid for it well so traded it in on a 2020 Nissan Rogue.

[@miguelircontar]

Where is the new Elantra ?

[@tahirshah8741]

Elantra is beautiful 😍 from sanatra
