Hyundai Elantra vs Nissan Altima Comfort

Traveling comfortably is another factor you’ll want to consider when deciding between the Hyundai Elantra vs. Nissan Altima. In terms of overall space, the Elantra provides more room to stretch out comfortably than in the Altima:

Interior Dimensions
	Hyundai Elantra	Nissan Altima
Headroom (front/rear)	40.3 inches/37.3 inches	39.2 inches/36.9 inches
Legroom (front/rear)	42.2 inches/35.7 inches	43.8 inches/35.2 inches

In addition to ample space to stretch out, the Elantra also provides extra comfort to passengers with its standard dual automatic temperature control system. With this feature, you and your front passenger can independently set and adjust your climate settings without interfering with one other’s preferences.

Nissan Altima drivers can also experience the dual zone climate control system but only with an optional upgrade.

Comprehensive Safety

Keeping you and your passengers safe is essential when traveling around town. Thankfully, both the Elantra and Altima come standard with several safety features. Some of the features you’ll find with both models include rearview cameras, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Driver Attention Warning.

While there are some similarities, Elantra drivers get extra protection with smart standard features, such as the driver’s blind spot mirror and Lane Keeping Assist, both of which are only available with the Nissan Altima.

With the Elantra, you can feel safer and more secure each time you get behind the wheel.
