2019 Civic or Elantra: Performance
The Civic 2.0L DOHC i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine produces up to 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque in the base trim. However, the standard power found in the Elantra base model is 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque. When you’re looking for more power at your fingertips, take to the Troy streets in the new Civic.
2019 Civic or Elantra: Technology
The advanced tech in the Civic includes a 5-inch color LCD screen, dual-zone automatic climate controls, heated front and rear seats, keyless entry, and HomeLink®. The Elantra does have the Infinity Premium Audio with Clari-Fi™ Music Restoration Technology available—something the Civic does not—but it only comes with the most expensive trim, the Hyundai Elantra Limited. Sadly, it’s not available on the Elantra GT or Elantra Sport.
2019 Civic or Elantra: Safety
The 2019 Honda Civic is a great choice thanks to its robust suite of safety technologies. Specifically, the Civic makes great use of the cutting-edge Honda Sensing® safety suite. While the 2020 Elantra comes with some features similar to Honda Sensing®, it is definitely missing some key components that will give Farmington Hills drivers extra confidence on Michigan roads.
