Battle of Ubers! 2024 Hyundai Elantra Vs 2024 Honda Civic Vs...

[@fernandoformeloza4107]

My son bought a 2024 Hyundai Elantra hybrid. He needed a sedan for the next ten years, and wasn't too interested in long term reliability. The Honda Civic hybrid wasn't available this year, so it was a no brainer; Elantra 58mpg, Civic 33mpg. He loved the luxury looks of the car, how roomy it was, and its competitive pricing. Test drove both the Elantra hybrid and the Toyota Corolla hybrid; besides the reliability, the choice was clear: the Elantra was the better car in almost every way

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

Hyundai Elantra is super popular where I live! I see them everywhere! 😍 I love the bold and futuristic design. 💯 It's always the ones who haven't driven a Hyundai since 1993 who talk negatively about the brand. 🙄 But as a current 2017 Elantra owner, my car has been reliable for almost 7 years now. 💪 It's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned, and I'm still under warranty! 🤩 I'm thinking about upgrading to the new 2024 Elantra or Sonata. 🤔 #Hyundai #Elantra #Sonata #Reliable #LoveMyHyundai

[@christopherhernandez2434]

Ahhh my favorite Elantra the 2017 design was so good. My gf mom has it now and it's going over 140k already. Miss her so much but now driving a 2021 Elantra with 83k lol these cars are beautiful and reliable.

I believe the 2024 Elantra is on par now with Honda and Corolla. Spoke to a dealer and researched as well. 2024 Elantra has a new engine, no direct injection Atkinson plus issues in the past have been addressed. I hope this is true. Time will tell. I cannot wait for too long like 1 year to get a corolla. I am a toyota guy. I ordered the basic model Elantra instead since wait time is only 2 months and the price is reasonable.

[@carlyl3191]

I was told it's still the same engine, I have a 2024 Elantra luxury, I also prefer a corolla unfortunately after a car accident I had, my back is not the same so it can't handle a corolla anymore, Elantra is very comfortable

[@Blank00]

I’m just glad Elantra still has physical HVAC buttons unlike the Sonata

[@wongralvju]

just got my 2024 Elantra Preferred with tech package. Have owned Honda, Toyota and Subaru previously. Initial impression of quality is on par with other japanese brands but it offers better value (tech and safety features).

I rather own a Hyundai Elantra than a honda Civic because of reliability, and it has more passengar space.

[@CraigCrowder]

I love the look of the 2024 Elantra--stylish and striking. Most other sedans all look about the same, like a big bowl of bland. To each their own, of course

[@valentinorossi7771]

I used to own Honda stocks and naturally looked at Honda sales worldwide. Sales of Honda in Asia falls way behind Toyota. Last year when looking at Honda Australia sale number, it was outsold by Toyota by a wide margin. Toyota sold 215,000 cars for 2023, Honda only managed 13,800. People were sick at Honda pricing themselves heads and shoulders above Toyota for the same products (Example Corolla vs Civic and RAV4 vs CRV).

[@alstound]

Honda Australia is 💩. There isn’t a single manual Civic in the lineup below the Type R. The Accord only came with the 1.5T engine. The Jazz (Fit) got only five gears compared to America’s six. There’s an array of crossovers, ZR-V, HR-V and of course CR-V, but the trims are mostly FWD and CVT is the sole transmission available.

[@valentinorossi7771]

yes I agree. BTW I no longer have Honda stocks so I don't really care.@@alstound

[@rexonpadre4653]

Honda is WAYYYY too expensive

[@alstound]

As for the trunk, the sedan’s advantage is having your stuff isolated in its own deck, while the hatch’s cargo hold forms part of the cabin. The sedan also offers better visibility at the rear because of straighter C-pillars, and allows for larger glass as it’s mounted on the bodywork itself rather than a tailgate that requires a separate frame.

[@MaiYupaporn]

I got a brand new 2021 Hyundai Elantra Limited, and it's been great except for the usual oil changes and tires. It's got 82,000 miles now. That front bumper sensor is a lifesaver; it's saved me a few times. Last time, I almost hit the vehicle in front of me, the sensor beeped, I slammed on the brakes, but someone got me an rear-ended. Loves safety features from hyundai!! Car is excellent but dealership......

Honda is living off a old reputation… Hyundai is better all around and better looking especially the N line

[@GlennLaycock]

The Canadian Pricing on the Hyundai site has TWO pricings - so the one used in this is basically the OTD price - with I think everything but local tax (so it would change in the builder once it knows your province). This is a huge advantage no doubt unpopular with the dealers in this market eh. Maybe correct me if I have it wrong.

[@adventurer4188]

Great reviews, would have loved a drag race finale.

[@SamCarLegion]

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

Civic is probably going to win since it has got more horsepower, 180 vs 147, you do the math.

[@M4B21S88]

@@blackwhirlwind1245Throttle House did a drag race between a Corolla xse, Civic turbo, and a Mazda 3 AWD (so heavier). Pretty disappointed in the Civic, since it’s underrated, at least 10th gen was faster… On the roll race the Civic couldnt pull that far away from the Corolla. Yes corolla is 169 hp vs Elantra at 147 hp? But the Corolla is also 250-300 lbs heavier. Sooooo a race between the Civic and the NA Elantra might be closer than youd think.

[@josedusol]

Civic is the safer bet long term especially when factoring in resale value. Civic feels more expensive than it is. Elantra still feels incredibly cheap all around.

I am drawn to the elantra, I find the civic and the corolla way to pedestrian looking and the hyundai just looking more futuristic. the Civic and Corollas have better repuations of course, but I notice a lot of elantras on the roads, of all ages, these cars seem to last a long time as well, which give me a pice of mind in picking this elantra, I'll be making my decision soon

[@chrissimmons9969]

Keep talking about Elantra having the N Line as a sportier version but the Civic has the Si as well.

This is a close fight for me. The features and tech on the elantra for the price is too good especially on the limited trim. You get cameras and sensors everywhere but there is that looming threat of it not getting support in the long run since it's a hyundai. The civic will last you a lifetime

[@NvSrAgE679]

The N-line competes with the Si. So comparing those engines makes no sense. You’d have to compare it to the Si’s engine output.

[@SamCarLegion]

Thats not an Si

[@NvSrAgE679]

⁠@@SamCarLegionnor is it an N-Line. But during the engine comparison at 17:34 you compared the the Na outputs to the Turbo outputs accept the only version of the Hyundai that gets that 1.6L turbo is the N-Line which again competes with the SI, not the Sedan Touring or the Hatchbacks. You said the Hyundai N/A 2L at 147hp and 132lbs to Honda N/A 2L at 158hp and 138Lbs, and the Hyundai N-Line engine 1.6T 201hp no torque number to Honda’s Hatches and Sedan Touring engine at 1.5L 180hp and 177Lbs. Should have been Hyundai’s N-Line engine to Honda’s Si engine as they’re competitors at 200Hp and 192Lbs. Hyundai doesn’t have a mid option to compete with the Hatches and Sedan touring as in those models in the Hyundai your only option is the N/A engine, at 147hp. Hyundai does have the Hybrid but it’s at 139Hp. So just to clarify. The N-Line engine is 201hp and 195Lbs to Si engine at 200hp and 192Lbs. Still more for Hyundai but not as big a difference as stated.

[@logankimp5563]

I’ll take the civic. I have SUV trunk space, a manual in the top trim, ect. I can live without the AWD 100%. I can just put spoilers on my civic and stickier tires. Why have AWD on a car that’s already over $32 when you start signing papers. The Elantra and Corolla can hv their smaller, slower cars, AWD for higher prices.

I really enjoy Sam's Post. I would disagree on the handling aspects of the two cars. I never hear anything about how great the Hyundai handles. I do here great tech and good value. Everyone does go out of the way to mention the amazing cornering and steering in the Civic. I also hear it to is a value as the resale on civics are incredibly higher than everything else except Corolla. I researched the Civic the Elantra the Corolla and Mazda 3. I gave the Impreza a glance. Before actually buying one of them. I could pick everyone of them apart. I could point out what makes them differ and what makes them good. But only the cars mentioned because that's what I could afford thank you Jo.
