2021 Hyundai Elantra vs. 2021 Kia Rio

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is gifted with an impressive user-friendly technology that will surely catch the attention of car buyers out there. It has plenty of room both in the cabin and in the cargo area. While it decided to discontinue producing the previous GT hatchback model, there is still a lot to love in this new version.

The 2021 Kia Rio is now gifted with a list of other standard features which its followers have been clamoring for in the past. Like the Elantra, it promises a reliable infotainment system as well. It brings comfort to passengers too.

Design & Style

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is gifted to have plenty of roomy in the cabin, offering the comfort for five passengers, regardless of age, shape, and size. When it comes to its cargo space, there is enough room to accommodate belongings of a family of five who want to go out on a weekend and spend time together. The cabin is attractive, and the exterior is handsome as well.

There is also enough room to carry your suitcases at the back of the 2021 Kia Rio. It comes in two versions, namely the hatchback and sedan, both capable of accommodating five occupants. There may be plenty of room to move about in front, but the back seats tell a different story. The well-constructed cabin is destroyed by the use of hard plastics in some areas.

Technology & Safety

The 2021 Elantra uses a user-friendly infotainment interface that suits its infotainment setup. This one comes with the standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also standard in this ride. It also has a remote keyless entry, HD radio, Bluetooth, two USB ports, voice recognition and four speakers. Its long list of driver aids includes rearview camera, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and driver attention monitoring.

The 2021 version of the Kia Rio, on the other hand, also uses an eight-inch touch screen for its infotainment configuration. The driver will find an easy time using the interface, without getting distracted while driving. It is also gifted with six speakers, Bluetooth, a USB port, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. For safety, it is quite a dismay that it only has a rearview camera.

Performance

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra’s base engine carries a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine which is capable of reaching up to 147 horsepower. There are other powerful options that can generate as much as the 201 horsepower and 275 horsepower. As for the 2021 Rio’s engine, it can only reach up to 120  horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is one ride that can easily catch your attention. This has reliable features and powerful engine choices for you. It definitely makes the 2021 Kia Rio tumble down considering all aspects above.
