The 2026 Hyundai Elantra comes standard with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. To aid fuel economy, this engine is attached to an intelligent variable transmission that allows it to drive 31 mpg in the city and an impressive 40 mpg on the highway. Leadfooted buyers can opt for the Elantra N-Line, which features a slightly smaller 1.6 liter engine that's attached to a turbocharger which pumps up the output to 201 horsepower and 195 pound feet of torque.
On the performance side of things, the 2026 Toyota Corolla is rather limited with only one non-hybrid engine available. It's also a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine, however the horsepower rating is between that of the base Elantra and N-Line. It produces 169 horsepower and 151 pound feet of torque and like the Elantra, it uses a CVT transmission.
Most modern cars now come standard with a variety of standard and available safety technology, and the 2026 Hyundai Elantra and 2026 Toyota Corolla are no exception. Both have a 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Hyundai's "ace up its sleeve" for over a decade is its thoughtfully designed interiors that make drivers feel like they're in something far more expensive than the Elantra's modest price would suggest. The 2026 Elantra faithfully executes this mission with soft-touch materials all throughout the cabin and a variety of standard technology. An 8-inch infotainment screen is standard, while upper-level trims get dual 10.3-inch screens- one for the gauge cluster and a 2nd for the center screen. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both standard equipment.
While both the 2026 Hyundai Elantra and 2026 Toyota Corolla offer solid compact car options, the 2026 Hyundai Elantra pulls ahead with a more compelling interior and design. It's no surprise then that our recommendation is the 2026 Hyundai Elantra.
