Fuel Economy of the Elantra and Camry

With going green at the forefront of so many people’s minds, both the Elantra and the Camry have made an effort to provide excellent fuel economy.

The Toyota Camry’s standard engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that works with a standard 8-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission. With these combinations, you’ll get an EPA-estimated 28 city/39 highway MPG.

The Elantra’s standard powertrain outperforms the Camry’s standard engine. The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine works with a Smartstream® Intelligent Variable Transmission and earns an EPA-estimated 33 city/ 43 highway MPG.*

Elantra vs. Camry: Interior Comforts and Tech

The Camry and Elantra have plenty of interior comforts so that you enjoy your ride. Each begins with fabric-trimmed seats; however, you can opt for leather seating options as you go up in trim levels. In both sedans, you can also upgrade to heated steering wheels and heated front seats.

While the Camry and the Elantra both have infotainment systems, some small differences favor the Elantra. The base infotainment system screen for the Camry is a 7-inch touchscreen, while the Elantra’s starts slightly larger with an 8-inch touchscreen. They both feature similar programs like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth Capability®, and voice recognition.

However, when you upgrade the infotainment system, the Elantra's touchscreen increases to 10.25 inches while the Camry’s only reaches 9-inches.

Safety and Driver-Assist Features: Camry vs. Elantra

Safety and driver-assist are practically expected in new sedans today. Neither the Hyundai Elantra nor the Toyota Camry disappoint.
