Deciding between the 2020 Hyundai Sonata vs. Elantra? If you’re trying to choose between these two eye-catching sedans, you’ve come to the right place! Suntrup Hyundai South has created this guide to walk you through the details of each model to help you decide which Hyundai sedan is the right fit for you. St Louis drivers will enjoy the features and affordability of both.
The MSRP of the Elantra vs. Sonata gives the Elantra a leg up amongst the budget-conscious crowd, with a staggeringly low MSRP of $17,700 on the base model. See below for details:
Affordability is far from the only reason you should consider the Hyundai Elantra and Sonata. Both offer impressive performance metrics. See below for full details on the standard performance specs available on both models:
The more powerful Sonata is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the more affordable Elantra has a Smartstream® Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT).
No matter which sedan you choose, both offer fuel-saving mpg. The Elantra offers a combined fuel economy of 35 mpg while the Sonata received a combined fuel economy of 32 mpg. You can expect an even more impressive fuel-efficiency in the Hyundai Sonata hybrid that does not currently have a projected fuel-efficiency rating.

The Hyundai Elantra is more compact and agile on the streets of Oakville than the Sonata. But that means less cargo space, and for families with a lot of baggage, that may be a deterrent to choosing the Elantra. The Sonata has more cargo space and room in the cabin for passengers. Although both have a classic sedan appearance, the Elantra feels a bit sportier inside, making it attractive for some St. Louis drivers. See below for dimensions:
