Handling Ranked 2020 Hyundai Elantra Limited FWD better.
"The Elantra seemed to have a more responsive yet comfortable suspension system and I was also impressed with how quiet it rode on several different surfaces."
Back Seats Ranked 2020 Hyundai Elantra Limited FWD better.
"The most noticeable difference was the increase in cabin space. The floor also seemed to have a bigger area for foot placement providing more options for comfort if riding in the back seat."
Cargo Capacity Ranked 2020 Hyundai Elantra Limited FWD better.
"In addition to the 60/40 split seat back (which allows for additional storage), the Elantra also has what appears to be a larger cargo area."
Would Buy Ranked 2020 Hyundai Elantra Limited FWD better.
"I really like how smooth and responsive the CV transmission is in the Elantra. It was an unexpected benefit and appears to deliver better mileage. "
