DARE TO COMPARE


Hyundai Elantra vs. Kia Forte

At a Glance:  Elantra vs. Forte


When you think about your ideal car, what do you want it to do for you—aside from taking you around town? Is fuel efficiency important to you? What about safety?

All these features and more can be found in the 2023 Hyundai Elantra and the 2023 Kia Forte. Both are excellent cars that will stand the test of time. You might be looking for a few more details, though. That’s where we come in.

At Hiley Hyundai of Burleson, we’ve put together this comparison to help drivers in Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas, and Benbrook, TX, choose which car will better fit their lifestyle. Let’s jump in!

See the Difference for Yourself


PERFORMANCE

Right off the bat, the 2023 Hyundai Elantra and the 2023 Kia Forte compare quite closely, with both models offering two available powertrains. Each vehicle provides a peppy performance to energize your early commutes. However, the Elantra allows you to go the extra mile.

Powered Up

Among the lineup in the Elantra is a powerful available 1.6L 4-cylinder engine that produces up to 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque at peak performance. The Forte offers an identical available powertrain with the same outputs.

Similarly, the standard engines found on these two sedans are the same: a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that will arm you with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque.

Miles to Go

However, these two cars are not created equal in terms of efficiency. Despite their engine similarities, the Elantra gets a boost by earning an EPA-estimated 33 city/42 highway MPG with the base engine.*

The Forte, on the other hand, makes a valiant effort to keep up with the Elantra with its EPA-estimated 31 city/41 highway MPG rating. However, with more city and highway miles available with the Elantra, it will be easier to avoid frequent fill-ups than with the Forte.


SAFETY

Nowadays, cars do so much more to help you feel safe while you’re driving. The Hyundai Elantra and the Kia Forte are no exceptions. They offer a bevy of similar safety features that will help put your mind at ease and keep your vehicle within your intended lane.

Peace of Mind

These vehicles offer standard features that include:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Driver Attention Warning
  • Lane Keeping Assist
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System

These features keep you alert on the road, notify you when an action is required, and enforce protective measures when necessary.

Taking More Safety Precautions

The Elantra offers standard features that are only available as options on the Kia Forte, the most impressive being Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. With cameras expertly placed in traditional blind spots, you’ll always see everything around your sedan. Also, the system will alert you if you get too close to another vehicle.

While these systems are available on higher trims of the Kia Forte, they aren’t standard or available on the base trim.


TECHNOLOGY

The Elantra and Corolla come standard with numerous technologies to take advantage of on your travels.

Infotainment Options

For example, the infotainment systems provided in both sedans feature:

  • Apple CarPlay®
  • Android Auto™
  • SiriusXM®

There are some clear differences in their offerings, though. The Elantra’s standard 8-inch touchscreen display bests the standard 7-inch touchscreen found in the Corolla. On top of that, the Elantra’s available 10.25-inch touchscreen display again outshines the largest available screen size in the Corolla, which is just eight inches.

Bluelink® Connected Car Service brings you next-level connectivity. You can lock, unlock, and even start the Elantra right from your smartphone. It also lets you manage the climate controls for a seamless transition between home and the road. The Corolla offers a similar feature called Remote Connect.


Which Sedan Will You Choose?
