Advantages of the 2018 Elantra
As you can see, the two vehicles are quite comparable to one another and each has its own set advantages. Fuel efficiency is one of the most talked about specifications of any vehicle, regardless of segment. The more fuel efficient a vehicle is, the better off both the environment and your bank account will be in the long run. So even one extra mile per gallon is a nice advantage, saving a bit of pocket change on the long haul.
Is that enough to make up for a 13-horsepower dip? Well, that’s up to you, but 13 horsepower would hardly be noticeable in a side-by-side comparison. Plus, the extra gear in the Elantra manual transmission means smoother transitions, so it has its own performance advantage to boot. The final advantage comes in the form of the trunk, where the Elantra offers up an extra 1.2 cu. ft. of space. That might not sound like much, but in a trunk, a cubic foot is a pretty big deal.
