Hyundai Elantra Hybrid vs Toyota Corolla: Full Comparison

The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, priced at Rs. 9.7 million, is a notable addition in the C-segment sedan category, competing with Toyota's Corolla Altis Grande X CVT-i 1.8, which is priced at Rs. 7.5 million. Though there is a substantial price difference, the comparison highlights their unique features and appeal. Hyundai’s Elantra, with its hybrid powertrain, offers a significantly modern exterior, packed with sharp lines and high-tech headlights, which makes it visually appealing compared to the more traditional Corolla design. The Corolla, however, brings a long-standing reputation for reliability.

Inside, the Elantra boasts a premium dual-tone interior with soft-touch materials, a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, and ergonomic leather seats that provide a comfortable, cocoon-like experience. On the other hand, the Corolla’s interior, while functional, features a more basic plastic dashboard and lacks some of the plush feel found in the Elantra. The Corolla does include features like a 9-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but the Elantra adds an air of luxury with additional climate control features and a well-appointed center console.

The Elantra also shines in fuel efficiency, delivering an impressive 22-25 kmpl due to its hybrid engine, whereas the Corolla, equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, offers a more modest 12 kmpl. The Corolla does come with the essential safety features one would expect in this category, such as airbags and ABS, but the Elantra adds advanced systems like Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Collision Mitigation, and a more sophisticated parking brake system.
