Fuel Efficiency

When it comes to fuel efficiency, the Hyundai Elantra more than delivers. It gives you an EPA-estimated 29 city / 38 highway / 33 combined MPG.[1] This means you'll save money and spend more time cruising down the road, and less time stopping off at gas stations and filling up your tank.

 In comparison, the Kia Forte offers you an EPA-estimated 27 city / 37 highway / 31 combined MPG.[2] While still impressive, it doesn't quite match up to the fuel efficiency offered by the Hyundai Elantra.

Entertainment & Connectivity

You'll love the variety of entertainment and connectivity options that come standard in the Hyundai Elantra. It gives you a 5-inch high-resolution touchscreen that lets you control all the different options with just the push of a button. You can opt for available Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® compatibility, which lets you stream your favorite music and podcasts wherever you might go.

The Kia Forte, in comparison, does not come with any of these features, which could make your morning commute seem distinctly longer and less enjoyable than if you had opted for the Hyundai Elantra instead.

Safety Features

The 2019 Hyundai Elantra includes much when it comes to safety features, making it an excellent choice for drivers who want to feel secure when they're out on the road. It comes with a rearview camera with dynamic guidelines that makes slipping into even the tightest of spots with total ease and confidence. You'll be able to see exactly where you're going, and avoid any obstacles when you put your car in reverse.

You can also opt for available:

  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Lane Keeping Assist
  • Driver Attention Warning
  • Smart Cruise Control
  • Automatic High Beam Assist

The Kia Forte, however, does not offer any of these safety features. This could leave drivers feeling significantly less safe when out on the road, particularly if you happen to encounter less than ideal driving conditions or weather.
