2023 Hyundai Elantra vs. 2023 Honda Civic
Overview
Hyundai and Honda each offer refined and comfortable small sedans that deliver great performance and a ride experience that borders on luxurious. Which one, however, is the better car? Let's compare the 2023 Hyundai Elantra to the 2023 Honda Civic.
What's New?
This year, the Honda Civic discontinued its previous entry-level model, leaving fewer options for those looking to get in at the base level. The Hyundai Elantra also has a discontinuation — the SEL Premium Package — but that was an options package, not a trim level. Its features were divided into other trim levels and packages.
Power and Performance
While Honda offers a powerful performance-oriented hatchback Civic, when comparing sedan versus sedan, the Civic tops out at the Si with a maximum of 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Elantra N sedan makes 276 horsepower with 289 pound-feet. Hyundai also offers a manual transmission, which Honda does not.
Award-Winning Sedan
The Hyundai Elantra includes many other features to consider when choosing a sedan. The latest 2023 Hyundai Elantra garnered an overall five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It was also awarded the Best Innovative Technology Experience by J.D. Power and named the lowest cost to own in its class by Kelley Blue Book.
The verdict is in. When you compare the 2023 Hyundai Elantra with the 2023 Honda Civic, the Elantra is the better sedan for award-winning performance, technology, and power.
