2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid VS Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Comparison Review

[@richardpierce7037]

I owned a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited and now have a 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid XLE (both top of the line models) so I can provide real world comparisons The Elantra's battery died within the first two weeks of ownership. If it sat more than 12 hours you couldn't start it and had to use the emergency reset button which entailed about ten minutes of work . Hyundai did buy back the car at full price but this was after four months of non use. When running it had some items I preferred over the Corolla such as more interior space and storage, a bit larger trunk, faster acceleration, heated steering wheel and larger dash/gps screens. The Corolla has a traditional interior which I prefer, more comfortable seats, better mpg (59.2 @ 3k miles so far) and it rides smoother. I like the optional 9 speaker/800 watt JBL stereo over the Elantra's 8 speaker Bose. It was also $2K cheaper. Most of all though is the piece of mind having a reliable/dependable mode of transportation for my daily 78 mile r/t commute.

I did this based on your suggestion since I am planning to keep it for long term. Hyundai is known for their issues and multiple recalls. I had bought 2022 Highlander hybrid based on your recommendation and we are so happy with it.

The bias comments are so obvious. Many other auto reports were really impressed with the Hybrid system on the new Elantras even more so than the new Corollas . In 2024 Consumers Report puts this Hyundai Elantra near the top in its class.

keep justifying it, the sales numbers don't lie. in reality the corrolla dogwalks the hyundai

[@codincoman9019]

Really?!?... And where is Toyota Corolla hybrid ranked in the same 2024 reliability survey from Consumer Reports? Even the 2024 Initial Customer Satisfaction survey from JD Power (that is about max. 3 years for client adaptation to the car's features, not about reliability - measured by CR for at least 5 years by more than 300'000 owners) is placing Toyota at the top (together with the #1, Lexus, just like in 2024 CR reliability survey), while Hyundai/Kia are far below, because the number of issues per 100 cars grew a lot (the truth eventually came out). I guess the comment comes from a Korean fanboi/owner, ignoring the harsh reality of the car he drives: less reliability and dependability, bigger TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), some recalls etc. (lost time servicing the car), lower mpg and less smoothness vs. Corolla, leading to a pretty lower resale value than that of the objective #1 Corolla (which I don't even like, except their GR - I drive a Lexus, a Miata and a Jimny, all clear champions of their own segment), but the statistics are obviously better than those related to Elantra. Still, Hyundai Elantra is a better car, with a nicer design than most other clunkers (the planned obsolescence is real, affecting all car owners), I hope you will have no issues, aside from the recalls. For that, an aggressive maintenance (like changing the oil each 3000 miles and once in 2 times changing the oil filter) might save you from most possible issues, costing you far less than doing the bare minimum that the dealership is requesting for the warranty (they want you to go often to them after the warranty is over). Your money, your choice.

[@peterf90]

Yes indeed, they are very expensive.

[@randisney]

I agree with just about everything you say here, except for the interior. You said they were close but gave the edge to the Corolla?! Sorry, they're not close at all. The interior of the Elantra is miles ahead of the utilitarian Corolla interior. It's elegant and refined, upscale, very modern yet practical. Hyundai's Infotainment system is widely regarded as the best in the business. The Corolla's interior is its one, and perhaps only, weak point; it looks like something out of the old Soviet era. People buy Corollas DESPITE their interior, not because of it. The Corolla is the obvious choice, but the one win the Elantra gets, is its interior.

[@carhelpcorner]

The Hyundai definitely has better tech, but they both felt like mostly plastic, pretty basic interiors to me. I really wasn't wowed by either one.

[@Nepalisentu]

@@carhelpcorner I have to agree. I test drove Elantra hybrid. Yes it does feel more refine and elegant but is that something to break the deal. Absolutely no! I had Hyundai sonata 2011 which stalled on middle of highway. They had multiple recalls. Who wants to go thru those pain or headache ? I rather have basic interior than sit and wait at dealership for hours.

[@codincoman9019]

Yep, Hyundai/Kia design appeals more to people that value the superficial look over the durability, so that part is better with the Koreans than with the Japanese interior design for most people (but not to me and many others valuing the most important characteristics - reliability, low cost, durability etc. - over the superficial ones). The fact that Koreans are mainly clunkers (see their rankings by Consumer Reports annual reliability surveys, mechanics' statistics on Total Cost of Ownership and their residual value big drop) is more than enough reason to avoid them, despite their interior design (showing off vs. the discreet Japanese one), entertainment etc. However, writing that Corolla interior is resembling the old Soviet era makes me think of two possibilities: 1) you know too little about the "style" of the Soviet era (I am living in an ex-Soviets' satellite country and I am a designer, thus I am quite familiar with the brutal, utilitarian, at best Bauhaus style of the end of the last century - at the limit closer to my Suzuki Jimny utilitarian interior, but very, very far away from Corolla's interior); 2) you exaggerated how nice the Korean design looks, maybe being thrilled by their "opulent" appearance too much to even consider drive-testing a Corolla - which I did, therefore I cannot fully agree with your take on it. I also witnessed few times how a Hyundai looks after almost the same time as an older Toyota - even Koreans' fans would then choose the Toyota 😏

[@randisney]

@@codincoman9019 Wow, condescend much? I think you completely missed the point of my post. As I said, I agree with just about everything said about the superiority of the Corolla. But when it comes to interiors, the Hyundai wins hands down. No, I'm not a child impressed by shiny, superficial objects; it's just nicer, has infinitely better tech (a huge component of today's vehicle interiors) and is a more refined finish. To say otherwise is just being influenced because you want to choose the Corolla, but going feature by feature, if you're not objective when the vehicle you like less actually comes out ahead on one aspect, then you lose credibility. You're right, I didn't "drive-test" a Corolla; my mother owned one and I drove it many, many times. I've also rented Corollas for the day on numerous occasions. So yeah, I have a pretty good idea what they look like. As for quoting consumer reports, check out 2023 JD Power rankings. They put Kia (Hyundai's sister brand) as having the fewest problems of all mass market car brands (3rd overall) with 159 problems reported per 100 vehicles. Toyota was 7th with 168 and Hyundai was 8th with 170. Not trying to convince anyone to choose a Hyundai over a Toyota, I certainly wouldn't, but you can find stats to back up just about any viewpoint. Anyway, it seems my point has been misinterpreted, either intentionally or obtusely; just because I think the Elantra has a better interior, doesn't mean I think it is the better car. But for some reason, being realistic enough to state the obvious, seems to make me gullible and uninformed in some eyes.

[@codincoman9019]

@@randisney, thank you for confirming: you are an excellent material for people to be condescending to you, as you are drawn to superficial (some Korean interior features - such as the entertainment - looking better doesn't necessarily mean they are indeed better long-term) and you didn't understand that your writing about Toyota interior design giving you a feeling of the Soviet era (which you never experienced) is at least dumb (I always admit when I don't know something, why don't you?). But, if you feel better in a Korean car, good for you - however, the depreciation shows Toyota is far more appreciated by the drivers. Moreover, based on your approach, I guess you might be kind of a snowflake, as only some gullible neo-Marxists would believe (without any logic) that JD Power is more than a max. 3 years report on customers adaptation to the car quirks. The only survey I know of - that covers at least 5 years of data from more than 300'000 car owners - is the RELIABILITY annual survey from the Consumer Reports, that places at top Lexus and Toyota. Koreans are down the road, below other Japanese brands. Btw, your info (on 2023) is pretty old: even JD Power 2024 Initial Customer Satisfaction rates Lexus as the best and Toyota the second. Got it? Kia went down a lot (finally, that's the truth), with Hyundai even lower 😂🤣😂 Facts over feelings! And your assumptions are dead wrong, as I don't like Corolla (it's too boring for me, even the new one - but probably a GR would be nice, I didn't test it yet) and I don't hate Kia/Hyundai (I used to drive a boring Santa Fe for a year and my sister had an Accent, pretty decent cars), I am only objective, considering statistics, data, tests. My cars are and will always be champions of reliability and low TCO in their segments, such as what I drive lately: a Miata ND2 RF when the weather is nice, a Suzuki Jimny LCV on mountain roads and a Lexus UX 250h F Sport for mostly urban trips. The only European car I like to drive is Porsche (#8 in reliability) 718, but its quality/costs ratio is very far away from Lexus or Acura. Btw, I was responsible for fleets of hundred of cars (getting plenty of experience with the reliability and maintenance of German, French, Italian, Swedish, British, American, Korean and Japanese cars - confirming the global statistics) and I have some experience with racing. I can bet that (except your parents/friends cars usage) you didn't attend car launches/drive-tests events and you are not having a few decades of passion for cars.

Hyundai has a 5 year/60k mile basis warranty and a 10 year/100k power terrain warranty; while toyota has 3 year/36k mile basic and a 5 year/60k power terrain. Ik toyota has already proven its reliability, but hyundai has stepped up in styling, technology, and engineering. Thats why they are now backing their claims with their warranty. Idk i wish toyota would just have a better warranty. I know they run forever. I have one, but the tech and styling are just so boring. im thinking about getting a hyundai. Especially when even the mpg is better on the elantra now, too.

[@codincoman9019]

Don't be silly, Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, Acura, Honda are all better than Kia, Hyundai, Genesis according to Consumer Reports annual reliability surveys and have a lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Plus mechanics' data etc. That's why the Koreans had to offer a better warranty, that the top Japanese cars don't need.

[@jonathanorta9269]

@codincoman9019 as long as you are planning to keep a vehicle over 100k then yeah stick with them, but if you want something cheap with a lot of technology for the price then kia/hyundai really isn't that bad.

[@codincoman9019]

@@jonathanorta9269, not even then. For most people a functional, reliable car is a must, therefore they don't want to have a higher probability of malfunction - that is a fact, statistically proven for the Korean cars. So, because time is the most precious resource for smart people, they should not make savings on money with the high risk of loosing time with the car malfunctioning, servicing it etc. Btw, even if the Korean lemons are cheap, their TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is higher than for the top Japanese cars AND the resale value is lower, making it a too big expense while owning one. I shall never buy again a Korean, German, Italian, French, American car for my use - unless they will replace the Japanese in the reliability and low TCO surveys - and that is close to impossible.

Like I used to have American, German, French, Italian, Swedish, Romanian, Spanish or Korean cars. But for the last years the weighted average of Consumer Reports annual reliability surveys gave the following ratings: #1 Lexus #2 Toyota #3 Mazda #4 Acura #5 Honda #6 Subaru Etc. The situation is similar for the low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), with the luxury brands going 2-3 places down (due to more expensive parts and certified work). I never owned a Toyota but I have driven a few for some years (from the fleets of hundreds of cars I have managed). They are superior from a practical point of view vs. Honda, despite Honda being more fun to drive (but not lately, Mazda is better now).

Seems that whenever the Hyundai has the advantage, it isn’t by much. But, when the Corolla has the advantage, it is far superior?? The exterior design may not be for everyone, but it shows how boring the Corolla is. It is something that Toyota has been accused of for many of its models. The vehicles are overall great cars if you can completely overlook the styling. The interior of the Elantra is leaps and bounds above the Corolla.

There is no "supposed" superiority, there is a real superiority, proven by statistics vs. some snowflakes' feelings.

Between them there are at least Mazda, Honda, Acura, Subaru, Suzuki (not in the USA). I cannot understand people not researching statistics and buying anything else than Japanese cars.

I agree. I can overlook some issues if the price is right.

[@codincoman9019]

Still, I would go for Corolla (not that I need it, I drive a Lexus, a Miata, a Jimny - those cars should outlast me by a lot), as no price reduction from Hyundai can offset the time needed to fix their issues. The TIME is the most precious currency for us and too many people cannot understand this. That's why for me the main values are reliability, low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), performance (and I mean suitability to their segment, not pure figures of braking - OK, this is important -, acceleration etc.) including mpg, handling, comfort etc. I am only buying the clear champions of each car segment I need for my pleasure/work. But I drive-test a lot the top cars [and tyres], it is a habit from my very active times and I still get invited to launches/events - and Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Suzuki, Subaru, Mitsubishi [and Bridgestone, Falken, BF Goodrich] etc. deserve their place at the top.

I've heard as much negative reports coming from CVT, especially Toyota CVT, as I have from the dual clutch. So I don't know where he get that Toyotas transmission is better. At least Hyundai's warrent covers any failure for 60000 miles rather then 36000

[@robertt9342]

Drove both of these today… fit and finish was better in the Hyundai, but that’s still pretty subjective. The Corolla has objectively smaller interior space.

The Toyota does 0-60 in what 9.7 seconds? Ridiculous. I like a car that has some passing power too, and the Corolla Hybrid is just too dang SLOW.

[@codincoman9019]

This is a comparison between upper mass-market compact hybrid sedans. For you... Try the Corolla GR and then you comment.

[@eppyz]

​​@@codincoman9019 Exactly not sure why your bringing up the GR? I already own a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo MR that i purchased new in 2006 and it's still stock. Even being 18 yrs old will still spank the new GR😂 anyway we are talking hybrids and the Corolla is as slow as cold molasses 🙄

[@codincoman9019]

@@eppyz, are you seriously asking such a question ❓⁉️ Because I wrote quite clearly, suggesting that there should be no expectations of high (racing) performance from mainstream cars such as the hybrids and that maybe "racebois" can get rid of the slow normal cars with a sport badge such as GR (I am so, so sorry, even that GR is not enough for you, probably you are a very famous pilot with you old Evo - btw, I drove an Evo IX, quite impressive). However, for me it's now obvious that a heavy-footed individual would write that normal cars are too slow for him. I am also into racing, but I can stay objective and don't expect the high performance from mass-market cars like the one coming from a Lancer Evo or even a Corolla GR. You can't. But that's your issue, not mine. Be cerebral.

[@eppyz]

@@codincoman9019 You keep bringing things up that no one is talking about? Racing? Who is talking about racing? Hybrids normal cars? You make no sense. What is your definition of "normal" My VW Golf gets 50mph is that normal? I drive my Lancer Evo "Normal" I don't race it? My statement is the Corolla hybrid is extremely slow in its class. There are other hybrids in the price range that have much better acceleration and still get great fuel economy. So if you like the Corolla great good for you, I will never buy it because you can get a Prius for a little bit more and has MUCH better performance without sacrificing economy. The Elantra too in the video would be a better option for those seeking performance AND economy. That's all my statement is about.

[@dystopia-usa]

Sadly, Hyundai/KIA have gone the "Made in China" route to design/build quality & service. So, no thanks. Even Toyota has lapsed on their quality over the last 5-6 years.

[@pumagamer4358]

Sorry, but there's no alternator in Hyundai hybrid neither starter . It's all the elevtric motor that is used as generator and starter, that's ridiculous💀

[@wearethelandrovers9014]

Toyota uses TWO electric motors - or three if you get one of their AWD hybrids. Plus Toyota has a FAR better transmission. (That planetary gearset in the E-cvt is the most reliable on the planet.)

[@pumagamer4358]

@@wearethelandrovers9014 Thats absolutely not the point.

[@wearethelandrovers9014]

@@pumagamer4358 That IS the point. The Toyota hybrid has the same alternator and starter features you mentioned for the Hyundai. The smaller of the two electric motors the Toyota has serve as starter and alternator, the other electric motor helps drive the car. I also mentioned the transmission because the Hyundai has a bad reputation dual clutch transmission, where the Toyota unit is bulletproof.

[@codincoman9019]

For hybrids is very simple: Toyota/Lexus always win with smoothness, refinement, reliability, costs, longevity etc. Hyundai/Kia/Genesis is less reliable (=lost time), more costly, far less refined (more show off), with too many recalls, thus a far lower resale value etc. Honda/Acura is in between, thus it is pretty stupid to buy a Korean clunker instead of a reliable Japanese hybrid, especially Toyota/Lexus (that is now hybridizing Mazda, Suzuki etc.).

While there are no perfect car, & no perfect transmission I truly think it's a nice nice vehicle comparison.

Agree that the AWD doesn't deserve the extra money, especially vs. a real 4x4 or even vs. the Subaru's SAWD. But the marketing is working plus for most people the AWD is helpful in wet/slippery curves etc.

Probably get deleted but I need help and all you can do is delete my comment. I have no idea if anyone will see this. I doubt it so why not. I have major car trouble, again. This car is driving, ha ha, me crazy. It wont start again. It does this sometimes It is getting very unreliable. We have dr appts to get to, one is 30 miles away. I dont want to get stranded. I have had it to multiple mechanics. When they see it, everything checks out fine I have had it towed a couple times, today it was again. It is dead, right now anyway. I need help. I have tried car forums, no one has any clue, but its something electrical. Well no DUH. It wont start, then its fine. it wont shut off all the way, then its fine, I have to disconnect the battery because if I leave it sit too long, it dies. Alternator, starter, everything checks out fine. Have had it towed when its dead, but when the garage checks on it the next day it starts right up. AAAAHHHHHH Im going crazy. Have had a new battery 6 times in the last year. Autozone has to keep replacing it because they get it and the battery checks out as no good. There are a few programs for low income or disabled people to get help with cars. They are all overextended or not in this area. There are no buses around here. Luckily Walmart started delivering not long ago. But we need to get to the dr. Otherwise I wouldnt worry about it. There is no trade in value because it keeps dying. I have no credit, I have run up the bills trying to figure this out. And then a few months ago I had to stop paying the credit card because all the shocks and struts went out at the same freaking time. Im at a loss.
