2017 Honda Civic Touring vs. 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- You probably know all you need to know about the Honda Civic by now: it was our car of the year, and is now offered as a stylish coupe or practical hatchback.
With impressive efficiency, practicality and technology, it’s hard to beat this compact car. But one thing is for sure, the new Civic isn’t as sporty or exciting as it used to be, and it might be a while until a new Civic Si hits the market. So what should prospective sporty compact car buyers do? Well Hyundai has the answer with this, the Elantra Sport.
This turbocharged Elantra will remind you of the sporty, fun Civics of the past. It features an aggressive design, a punchy engine and a unique suspension set up. We lined it up against a turbocharged Civic to see if it’s it’s good enough to get right now, or if you should consider waiting for the next Civic Si.

To all the haters saying it isn't a fair comparison. The Hyundai is 3000 dollars cheaper and offers more power and better rear suspension. The interior features, Honda is better but the Hyundai is a better drivers car. It ain't the 90's anymore
Racist Bassist Hyundai is more of a single person car. The civic is more family friendly. More trunk space, more leg real room, much more safety features, etc.
The Hyundai will start to fall apart long before the Civic
skunk1955 really have to seen issues all over the web the civic are have more problems the the Hyundai this days you want to know why. First, the 2016 civics are all have issues with there infotainment system and second they have cracked engine blocks and Honda doesn't want it announced to the public that they have a problem you don't have to lose money so how is that for reliability so have fun with your busted ass civic:)
skunk1955 that's no excuse to get beaten by a Hyundai or have Hyundai catch up to you.
Lee ROBD There's no way an Si will be over 30k. You'll be able to get a well equipped Si for less than the touring model in this video
Hyundai is murdering each segment and not looking to stop damnnnn
Daniel Castaneda why the Civic is still the #1 selling car in its segment?
Hey guy sorry i wasn't more specific, i was referring to the product itself. Feel better? Hyundai just fits my taste more with what they offer rather Honda. I do like the Civic's exterior design, known reliability but the interior feels like step back with the look of the plastic on the center dash. The gauges ughhh why!? The previous generation looked like they were from the future where ironically this new gen looks dated. Civic is a good car, but in terms of these two definitely going with the Elantra Sport.
Daniel Castaneda Elantra sport with double clutch transmission is slower than civic sport CVT (182 HP in EU)
Elantra is uglier than civic
@@MykolaNechyporuk any videos to prove that first point? And the second is subjective.
googlewolly ua-cam.com/video/ZviDvgXB8eg/v-deo.html
You can watch this video from 21:00
Elantra DSG looses to civic CVT in 1/4 mile race.
Civic sport MT is even faster on 1/4 mile.
We have a lot of elantras in Ukraine...Elantra is OK car...Reliable and good price...But it has a very conservative look to it.
That was a comparison to the wrong trim of the Civic. The Touring is their top of the line trim. It is purchased by buyers that value comfort, technology, and practicality over performance. The proper comparison for the Elantra Sport would have be the Civic... wait for it... Sport. It has a punchier engine and a center mounted exhaust. You also get that standard with a 6 speed manual transmission. It also has trim features similar to the Elantra. It loses the Honda Sensing suite (adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, collision mitigation braking). I'm very surprised that AutoGuide would produce this sort of a video. Still a fun watch though.
Dan Cunningham I agree 100℅ with what you're saying. very strange choice of Civic model to choose to compare against a 'sport' model.
You are 100% correct, Nobody looking at a CVT Civic is looking at a 6MT Elantra, or vice versa. Same Compact class, wrong subtype, there is a difference here. Hatchback Sport would be a much better comparison.
They should have just shown the 7 speed automatic DCT Elantra Sport.
Dan Cunningham why isn't this the top comment
Dan Cunningham the civic sport is hatchback only. The Civic 4dr and coupe in the ex-t trim does have a 6 speed manual with a slight increase to torque over the cvt.
you know...... I'd choose the Elantra sport
But you know... I'd choose the Civic Type-R CVT.
Richard Joash Tan nooooooo. civic type r CVT.. manual man
Richard Joash Tan type R with CVT ? Really ? You took the fun out of it .
They won't be making that. Per Honda PR.
That and he's seemingly forgetting how much more the Type-R costs... And the fact it looks like a childish oversize matchbox car...
Thanks for the video. Just went to the Hyundai dealer and signed the Blue Elantra Sport. I test drove both the Civic turbo and Elantra sport. For the value for your money and the power, Elantra sport is an obvious winner.. Can't wait till next week for my new car delivery!! Thanks.
Both really good looking cars TBH. I would say Hyundai wins this one.
hyundai shit
Dustin Hart Same Hyundai the best
AND the Elantra Sport is a BARGAIN
Hyundai Sport all day!!!
Junior Shepherd agree
Kalani Ruiz So I called my dealership yesterday and they confirmed the sport is coming to my area!!!!!😄😄 Will take about 4-6 weeks to arrive do we are looking around late February or early March
Junior Shepherd nice
this a dating site? thought it was UA-cam....
First. Also, I'm surprised by the elantra's exhaust. It's nice too.
;)
Civic Touring low priced? 26k is expensive for a compact non luxury car.
I don't understand why you would compare the Civic Touring instead of the Civic Sport Hatchback with the Elantra Sport. The Civic Sport Hatchback allows you to mate the new turbo engine with a 6 speed manual, which also ups your HP and Torque ratings... would have made a much better comparison.
true.. That was a pretty dumb.
You can also get the Civic Sedan with a manual in the EX-T trim. I think they wanted to compare sedan vs sedan, instead they would have gotten a Kia Forte5 SX vs a Civic Sport.
Kerry Ryan ikr that's pretty stupid of them!
hahaha
ugly pussy car hyundai
And you also get volume and tuning knobs in the Elantra :). Thank you.
Dongi that's a very small issue
You get proven quality and reliability in the Honda.
@@freezor80 1.5 turbo being recalled for oil dilution. Great reliability honda
Should've just waited for the SI for this video... civic would wins easily
let's see. i cant wait.
Assumptions. Let's just wait for the instrumented tests, shall we?
Then Hyundai will match with a better engine. Honda isn't what it was in the 1990's. Kia and Hyundai are the new standard. Honda's look like plasticity shitboxes.. look at the Civic bumper, it's all chrome covered shit plastic. They just don't care anymore.
The interior of the Elantra looks like it belongs in the 90's. The civic interior got the Elantra beat. The only thing Honda didn't bring is a 200 horsepower engine. The Elantra GT has at least 27 more horsepower over the Civic. Next time, compare the Elantra GT to a Civic Si. It would be more of an even comparison. Let see if the Elantra has replace the Honda Civic as the benchmark for small cars.
1quickster Having sat in both, I disagree on the interiors. And this Elantra Sport is above the GT performance wise.
Elantra all the way 🚘
I dont know how much I can trust this review. This might be the only guy in the history of the world that called the Civic "soft". I drove the civic, it certainly not soft or vague. Either way, these cars don't compete, the Elantra sport is a Si competitor and that car isn't out yet.
I bought a Hyundai Elantra Sport (auto) lately. Was amazed at how powerful, fast and stable the car is. Been enjoying my daily drive and no regrets of purchasing this car.
Do you have any shuddering when moving from a standstill
@@neiljoseph1323 Don't have that experience so far.
better portioned body style, nicer looking in and out, overall much more pleasing to watch if you look and compare them again and again... great job Hyundai!!
This reviewer is reviewing cars truly fair and independently. Other reviewer used to review cars like fanboy to some car brand but this guy is doing much better for AutoGuide. Good job!!!! I will look forward to view other car reviews from this guy soon.
The Hyundai looks much better.
You need to go see a ophthalmologist because there is a problem with your vision.
Are you not reading the comments? many people like the Hyundai better.
BCJDM you spelt uglier wrong
You cant say one looks better because they are two totally different design languages. However you can say that the Elantra is the better car because you can measure it. The Elantra has an IIHS+ while the Civic has only the IIHS which is still great for any car.
...ehhhh...
i freakin love my 2017 elantra turbo. so much fun to drive. ecu flash friday!!!
I did a test drive on both, really impressed with the elantra sport. Dual clutch transmission rocks, but is not as fast as the GTI DCT for example. 3 words to describe the elantra sport? FUN TO DRIVE
People don't want to give Hyundai credit or admit how far they have come. Hyundai is a competitor FOR DAMN SURE. THE BRAND SAVED THEMSELVES. Consumer Reports and J.D. Power recommend EVERY car in Hyundai's line up. They still aren't the "best" but who is? I mean really we live in a world where people judge each other off how big their house is and what kind of car they drive. People still wouldn't buy Hyundai because of the badge no matter what. The Elantra won this though for me.
I used to be a big fan of Honda in the past and the 2003 Honda Accord V6 was the best car I ever owned. My 88 Civic also ranks up there along with my 2008 Mazdaspeed 3. I haven't driven any recent Honda products, but I know they have gone the way of Toyota, which is why I opted for the Elantra Sport and boy, what a car! The past two Hyundais I owned were a 2015 Santa Fe Sport and a 2012 Sonata hybrid, which both had tracking issues which are gone now due to the new suspension setup. You can't get an all round better car for the money. Totally happy with my purchase. Night and day from and day from any Elantra of the past. Great exhaust note , peppy engine, flat steering.
Whenever the civic si is introduced, you should compare it with Elantra sport .
Hyundai Elantra Sport!
I've driven the Civic and it's definitely not "vague". In fact, it's quite engaging. Now the steering is no EM1 Civic, but by today's standards it's nicely weighted and very accurate with none of that dead on center feel like some cars. I also like the Civic's interior, a luxury car it is NOT, but it has nice features and Honda tried their best to hide the cheapness of the car. Now I've never driven the Elantra Sport, but most reviews are pretty positive. Also, I appreciate the fact that Hyundai paired a 6 Speed Manual with the 201 hp turbo motor. However even in sport trim the Elantra isn't any faster than the Civic that isn't even trying to be fast. When the Si comes out - the true competitor to the Elantra Sport - the Si is going to eat its lunch both on the sales chart and most likely on the track as well.
as a Honda loyalist I'm sad to see the Honda not win but the Hyundai is still better than American garbage
Got the Elantra Sport,it's a blast to Drive!
I'm sitting here salivating! I can hardly wait to get this car in my garage. It will replace the Jetta TDI that I truly enjoyed driving but, sold back to VW for several reasons. I will have change left over after buying this car; with the 6sp manual of course; a win-win for me. Turn it down for what?!!
So I get about 40MPG highway and 33 MPG 'suburban' driving in my Elantra Sport 6MT... and I got it because it doesn't have all that electronic assist crap.
5:52 dat leaf on the bumper tho
Getting the Civic EX-L this afternoon.
Autoguide, you need to re-do this comparison. The proper comparison would be to do the 2017 Elantra Sport vs the 2017 Civic SI.
So true. This comparison makes no sense
Exactly, seems like they ran out of ideas that week and this was one of those last minute decisions
Should have compared the Civic ex-t with a 6speed to the Elantra sport. Let's not forget the Civic si will be released this year too.
Can you do a video on the Hyundai Elantra vs the Toyota Corolla.
bruh u already know the winner of that... lol
Nothing is more fun to drive than the Mazda3 in this segment.
I can honestly say that the Mazda 3 is a fun car to drive.
Hyundai looks better? The civic got the fastback trunk design, does the Hyundai got? some grill?
how could you not mention the flat bottom steering wheel?
Yes the Hyundai won this one, but wait for the Si to come out because it will be a direct competitor to this. It may be only $1K more at that. This is somewhat of an unfair comparison if you ask me. The civic is a sportier version of the standard civic. The Si is the true sports civic like this is Hyundai's sporty car. Just saying ( and yes the type-R is the true sports car for the civic, but the turbo civic is not ment to be a sports car just a sportier one) 👌👍
O Arias The Elantra sport is not Hyundai's Si competitor. The upcoming Hyundai N Elantra will be.
Also, some amenities this vehicle is standard with include HID headlights with dynamic bending, led tail lights, push to start, and smart opening trunk. It also starts around 23k with a stick. Also, there is currently $2500 in rebates BEFORE negotiations on this car, meaning that in addition to costing less on the sticker, it will still cost at least $2500 less since Honda never offers incentives.
FudgeRevolution the N will be the type r competitor. The elantra competes with the si
I would like to point out that in other autoguide videos you guys claim the the new Civic has somewhat sporty handling and out of the blue it's vauge and not fun to drive? if you guys could make up your mind that would be great
Kyle Hoopes Try it for yourself, it's nothing special. It's only better if you compare it to that terrible Civic that he current one replaced.
Kyle Hoopes same I was like what duh
FudgeRevolution speak English well dumb ass!
Your brain couldn't add a "T" to "he" to make "the?" My keyboard has issues registering the same letter twice in a row in quick succesion.
I scored top of the class for all my college English classes, thank you. Let's see your grades, hahaha.
yonda ila okay look it's called slang- get with the times person like wtf and I scored an 800 on the grammar section of the SAT so goodbyeeeee
The sound of that Elantra sport is pretty damn good for stock.
I just bought a hyundai elantra sport after watching this.
Dfg jo I feel your pain, sorry you were misinformed.
So sorry for your loss.
No regrets. I bought 1 lately and I love it to the max.
Lol. Honda fan boys pity you for buying a great car. . .
@@zacharyfunkhouser Honda will outlast it hands down.
This wasn't even a equivalent model test!! They Elantra sport should have been compared with the new Si. And the sedan coming pair with a 6-speed too which has a sportier suspension set up. That would have been alittle closer. Or how about the hatchback sport vs the Elantra sport. Bet that would be a win for the Honda for sure. Any ways this is a joke...the New Si will own the Elantra sport in every category!
Hope Elantra Sport will be available in Manila.
this guy has a lisp when saying words with an 'S"
Andrew Kim you have teeth. (I thought we were pointing out obvious things that don't need to be pointed out).
I test drove both the Civic EX-L and the Elantra Sport based on this video! I still can't decide. Maybe I'll just keep my 2016 Camaro SS.
If they were free, which one should I get?
Let's see which one will have higher cost of ownership and maintenance and resale value in 5years. Oh and before you come after me with hyundia warranty...they will only cover any warranty work as long as you have proof that the vehicle has had the recommended service done to it.
which of the two is faster?
The Elantra limited would have been a more accurate comparison. It has more tech than the civic.
B Blackwell "agree"
does Hyundai have limited slip differential?
the Honda has an impressive front but its rear I do not like, the Hyundai has better design in all its form.
For the Hyundai I'd rather opt out of the lane assist/departure warning and adaptive cruise - it's a Sport. Less intrusive warnings and lights to distract me from something I'm aware of.
No manual transmition comes with lane keep assist or acc
Honda Civic is classy and perfect car.
And boring. 🤣
Civic Sport hatch + Elantra Sport + Mazda 3, all stick. DCT is a demerit, CVT is an automatic disqualifier. Let the game begin.
Nothing wrong with the CVT.
Why haven't you tried the DCT Elantra Sport ?
I realize that looks are subjective, but to my eyes that Elantra is MUCH better looking than the new Civic!
OK now it's time to compare the new Civic Si with the elantra gt. Let's go
Civic vs. Elantra Sport: Elantra Sport
Civic Si vs. Elantra Sport: Civic Si
John Appleseed civic si vs focus ST: FOCUS ST. CIVIC TYPE R VS FOCUS RS: FOCUS RS.
jamesgjt
Focus RS has AWD, something the Type R doesn't. But we'll see when those two cars are released. It'll be interesting to see how they stack up.
why is this guy shaking his head and body like disco dude.. so strange.
Just bought the fully loaded elantra sport because of this video. I sat and drove both today, let me say the hyundai is hands down better.
Phis is the Pthonda Thivic.
noth cars are really nice looking inside-out but Civic exterior design is just different to anything in the market now its quite futuristic, sportier n eye catching but what an exhaust note Elantra has just loved it from factory fitted n small engine its really nice.....
The Civic may offer the Honda sense package but it also cost and quite a bit. Compare what you get in the Elentra (base) to the Civic and you see Hyundai gives you more for your $ IMO.
They're both great cats. You can't go wrong with either. I would choose the Elentra myself.
It is not better to evaluate both versions in manual transmission or both with automatic transmission.
Looks like all the running gear from the Veloster R-Spec.
So hold on. You're taking a car with a focus on luxury, and a car with a focus on being sporty, and comparing them to see which is sportier? This seems a tad redundant. Instead of comparing it to a Civic Touring, either wait for an SI, compare to it to a manual EX-T, or any other possible car in the sporty compact class? ST? GTI? WRX? A CVT Civic and a 6MT Elantra Sport will mos likely never be cross-shopped.
What for the Si & Type R
Mr. Ash That Type R is what I want
Next we'll compare the 2017 Kia Rio to the 2018 Honda Civic Si to see which one is a sportier car!
am I the only one who finds his body movements funny? lol
Why not compare the Civic Sport to the Elantra Sport the touring Civic has a different suspension setup and a sporty body kit around it
This comparison is a perfect example of Honda's brand reputation price markup. This civic cost's more than the Elantra, and the Hyundai Elantra is clearly a better car overall. Yes the civic has higher mpg's, the Honda reliability rep, and more tech (which I could care less about), but the Hyundai is a much better car overall, especially if you care about DRIVING. It should be noted, that I have test driven both vehicles, and currently own a Honda product.
Boateng 2018 He was comparing the top of the line Honda Civic Touring to the Hyundia Elantra Sport. The Touring is focus on technology and comfort and it damn near fully loaded. They needed to compare the Elantra sport to to Ex-T trim with a manual transmission or the hatchback LX or Sport(180hp/177ft lbs with the manual) which come in under $22k.
Claims that the new Civic isn't as sporty as it used to be; yet, it's faster than even some past-gen SIs. Not sure what he's talking about, as the 10th-gen 1.5 Civics are the most sporty Civics yet.
People they aren't comparing trim levels ok the are comparing it by price can't people see that the elantra has the most bang for buck.
it's interesting to see that the elantra is sportier than Civic touring and Civic is more spacious and comfortable than elantra.
I don't understand why you wouldn't use a civic sport manual for a more apples to apples comparison.
Both are very nice cars
I would much rather choose the blind spot monitoring system that the Elantra gives you, than that lane watch camera because the lane watch camera is only on the passenger side and rain and fog could mess it up. Honda could of spent a little bit more money on a actual blind spot monitoring system. Maybe they should take lessons from Hyundai on what technology really is in the market today.
Honda all day...test the manual Civic
Yep
***** Fail son...
***** In your wet Scooby dreams
***** About women yes.
and that's where your vocabulary ends...
Elantra has what, about 2x the warranty?
you guys are comparing a "sport" to a "touring"? that's dumb!
Hyundai has blind spot detection > lane watch any day.
Ulieq I've never had blind spot detection but I couldn't imagine having a car without lane watch ever again. blind spot detection doesn't show you how fast a car is coming up before you switch over does it?
Why would you compare the luxury trim Civic to the sport trim Elantra and knock the former for being boring in comparison? I know that's been said over and over again in these comments, but I'll add that the inverse comparison would have had the opposite result; the Civic Sport would have won over the luxury trim Elantra for the same reasons the Hyundai won here. The truth is both cars offer a sport version (not including the Si) and the winner of this test was predetermined at the trim selection stage; whichever sport model was chosen was going to win.
Be very very quiet I'm huntin wabbits haahhahah
I will take the Civic thanks
the Civic's adaptive cruise control doesnt work well
In what way?
Elantra rules
Honda makes great cars but....we all have to remember, they're compacts! Civic is way nice, but it's too big and too expensive to be a compact....I do like the fact that Hyundai has still kept it simple yet very exciting with their Elantra.... For 27 grand it might as well be 30 grand ...and for 30 grand you might as well by an Accord. And btw, Hyundai has rebates!
vous comparez une gt avec une touring avec CVT comparez plutôt avec la SI
Both cars are hella sexy, but the civic has a better profile. Where the projectors tho on the civic?
Teighlour Swyftte the touring only comes with led headlights
Travis thats too bad :( oh well, doesnt affect much.
hyundai all the way
definitely wait for an SI there is no comparison here...
The Hyundai sport should be compared to the civic Si when it comes out
put the front of the hyundai on the civic and you gotta perfect car
nonhohohohohoh lol! front end looks way better on civic. its the rear that doesnt look as good.
Cindy Brady?
I will never understand the hate for hyundai's lol. I love my elantra sport.
I think the hate is partly due to the fact that Hyundai owners try to compare the reliability and quality of the Hyundai to a Honda, to which there is no comparison. If there was, a 5 year old Hyundai would sell for the same price as a 5 year old Civic. However, they do not. Market Value is dictated by these types of facts and to be honest, I have never seen a Hyundai with 250,000 kms on it. I have seen Honda's with 350,000+ km's on them though.
I hate when automotive journalist compare a Honda Civics to Audi A7s. fuck outta here with that bullshit. Why, because of a sloping rear window? Nothing compares to the Audi A7 design.
ForeignBorn Patriot wow look at someone that's getting mad for people's opinions you get the f outta here bitch!
What do you think the comment section is for? I think its to praise or disagree. Don't get all butt hurt now. Life goes on, we going to be fine ok buddy lol.
Wait did he say that Hondas cvt is better than Hyundai's dct.... :/
Why wouldn't they compare the Hyundai Sport to the Civic SI
Funny you should ask that... Civic Si wasn't out yet when we shot this, but we did this comparison recently and a video is coming soon.
