Interior and Exterior Styling Comparison

The 2024 Hyundai Elantra's design features a shark-like nose and a subtly tweaked rear end, enhancing its already strong curb appeal. This model continues to impress with its well-thought-out cabin, including an optional 10.25-inch infotainment screen in the higher trims and ample interior space, particularly in the rear seats which outmatch its competitors in legroom.

The Honda Civic retains its sporty aesthetic, courtesy of a clean and simple interior paired with a dynamic exterior. The interior is pragmatic with standard features that cater to convenience and comfort, such as a 7-inch touchscreen in base models and upscale 9-inch screens in higher trims.

Performance Features Comparison

For 2024, the Elantra's base 2.0-litre engine promises fuel efficiency without sacrificing the pure joy of driving, managing a modest acceleration to 100 km/h in 9.4 seconds. For more spirited drivers, the Elantra N Line Ultimate's 1.6-litre turbocharged engine shaves off time, offering a zippier 7.7 seconds due to its 201 horsepower and sporty dual-clutch transmission.

The Civic ranges from the dependable 158 horsepower 2.0-litre engine in most trims to the peppier 180 horsepower 1.5-litre turbo in the Touring model. Both engines employ a smooth CVT to enhance the ride quality.

Technology Features Comparison

Hyundai's focus on technology is evident in the Elantra's infotainment offerings, with a bigger, more immersive screen available in premium models. All versions feature integration with smartphones, although the larger screen requires a physical connection, unlike the smaller version's wireless capability.

Civic's technology suite is robust across all trims, featuring enhancements like wireless connectivity for ease of use in the Touring trim and a premium Bose sound system that complements its high-tech dashboard. 

Safety Features Comparison

The Elantra's commitment to safety is underscored by its impressive accolades from IIHS and NHTSA. Its suite of safety features ensures peace of mind, with top ratings in crash tests and advanced preventative technologies to keep occupants safe.

Similarly, the Civic shines with its comprehensive safety technologies, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Its consistent 5-Star ratings from NHTSA, combined with top marks from IIHS, illustrate its dedication to passenger safety across all trims.
