Pricing: Hyundai Sonata vs Elantra

As is typical for vehicle styles found all around Whitehouse and Jacksonville, the larger, more powerful Sonata is costlier than the smaller Elantra. This is an important consideration, as smaller, more efficient sedans like the Elantra are typically some of the most affordable options in the market. However, with the Sonata, you're getting a roomier, more powerful sedan with more options in higher trims, so you may find it's worthy of investing a bit more of your hard-earned money.

Safety and Technology

As the larger Sonata is priced higher than the smaller Elantra, the Hyundai lineup's flagship midsized sedan is also the more luxurious option when it comes to high-end tech features. Both sedans, however, are generously equipped with standard and optional Hyundai tech features. The larger Sonata brings bigger touchscreen and displays to the mix, though the Elantra also offers clear and easy to use infotainment functions. The Sonata also allows for more luxurious amenities in higher trims, including premium sound equipment with extra speakers.

Meanwhile, both of these new sedans make great use of the Hyundai brand's suite of driver assistance tech features. Standard offerings ranging from collision mitigation to blind-spot monitoring give you confidence out on the roads of Carthage and Nacogdoches. The Sonata offers more clever driver aids in higher trims, including parking assists that help you out in tight spaces.
