Elantra Competitors
Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. Honda Civic is a strong competitor for Elantra, as Civic has a well-established and loyal customer base. Both cars are in the same price range and offer similar features, but the Elantra offers a more luxurious experience. The Elantra also has a larger fuel tank and offers a few other features that the Civic lacks, such as power seats and a sunroof.
