2018 Subaru Impreza Performance vs. the Hyundai Elantra
As a Subaru model, every 2018 Subaru Impreza comes standard with the carmaker's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which is an important feature for drivers in the Murray and Provo area. However, the Hyundai Elantra doesn't even have available all-wheel drive available, never mind it coming as a standard amenity. Additionally, every 2018 Impreza is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. This is more powerful than two of the three Elantra engines available, which offer 128 horsepower, and 147 horsepower. However, the Elantra does have a third engine available that is more powerful than the Impreza, coming in at 201 horsepower. But, that engine is only available on the highest Elantra trim, for drivers who go for the top-of-the-line model.
Technology Features for the Subaru Impreza vs. the Hyundai Elantra
Every 2018 Impreza comes equipped with a ton of standard technology that includes a touchscreen interface, Bluetooth, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. The 2018 Elantra, on the other hand, is minimally equipped, unless you move up trim levels. It doesn't offer any of the same tech features standard on its entry-level model with manual transmission, but, drivers who opt for the base model with automatic transmission can get Bluetooth, but that's the only similarity in standard tech equipment.
Subaru Impreza Safety vs. the Hyundai Elantra
In addition to the security of Subaru's signature, standard all-wheel drive, which, of course, the Elantra doesn't even have anything comparable, the 2018 Subaru Impreza also comes with the carmaker's latest innovative safety features. Some are standard, such as the rearview camera, while some are optional, including the state-of-the-art Subaru EyeSight feature, which uses a system of strategically-placed cameras that work in conjunction with a forward collision warning system and a lane departure warning to keep you safe and help you avoid accidents. The 2018 Hyundai Elantra, on the other hand, doesn't have anything similar to the EyeSight system, and its models don't even come standard with a rearview camera.
Interior Design for the Subaru Impreza vs. the Hyundai Elantra
Both the Impreza and the Elantra are designed with front and rear doors that open wide and are large, making getting in and out of the vehicle easy, and both have seats that are at a great height, without making drivers and passengers feel low to the ground. However, once inside the vehicle, we think drivers in the Sandy area, and beyond, will find that the 2018 Impreza offers a more comfortable ride. That's because, despite their similar measurements, the Impreza is slightly longer than the Elantra. This gives you, and your passengers, more interior space, with greater amounts of headroom, legroom, shoulder room, and elbow room, in both the front and backseats of the Impreza.
Pricing the 2018 Subaru Impreza vs. the Hyundai Elantra
Despite the fact that the entry-level 2018 Subaru Impreza gives you standard all-wheel drive, more space, more tech features, and more safety features, it still comes in at roughly the same price as the Hyundai Elantra. In fact, a base model Impreza hatchback with automatic transmission runs just under 21,000 dollars, while the base model Elantra hatchback with automatic transmission comes in just over 21,000 dollars.
