Morning commutes aren’t something you normally look forward to, but they could be with the right exciting vehicle by your side. The proper amount of power in a sedan can liven up your everyday drive and make zipping through traffic a total breeze.
The 2022 Volkswagen Passat comes with a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces 174 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque. With this amount of pep in your step, you’ll enjoy smooth handling and seamless acceleration.
The Hyundai Elantra, on the other hand, comes up short with a standard 2.0-liter motor that only produces 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. With significantly less power, you can expect this sedan to perform differently from its competitor.
The Elantra does offer an available powertrain to increase its power to compete with the VW Passat. However, with the addition of more power comes the decrease of efficiency to an EPA-estimated 25 city/34 highway MPG.
The VW Passat maintains its powerful motor while also earning an EPA-estimated 24 city/36 highway MPG.*
As you jet around town in your sedan, you’ll want to be sure it has the interior dimensions that suit your lifestyle needs. From ample space for your crew to room for a shopping trip detour, the 2022 VW Passat and the Hyundai Elantra have the dimensions you need.
With seating for five, you’ll be able to load up your friends and head out to an AirBnB for the weekend. However, the group may prefer stretching out in the 101 cubic feet of passenger volume the VW Passat has to offer.
With only 99.4 cubic feet of passenger space in the Elantra, it may be a tight fit.
In addition to space for your best friends, the VW Passat allows you to pack a few weekend bags and still have room for a case of sparkling water in the trunk thanks to 15.9 cubic feet of cargo room.
Once again, the Elantra comes up short with only 14.2 cubic feet of cargo space, so you may need to leave a bag behind.
Technology is one of the most exciting factors about a new car. Whether it’s providing you with entertainment or keeping you protected, the VW Passat and the Elantra are packed with tech you’re sure to love.
Front and center in the 2022 Volkswagen Passat and the Hyundai Elantra, you’ll find an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. No matter which sedan you get behind the wheel of, you’ll be able to connect your compatible smartphone and pair to an array of entertainment apps for a totally curated listening experience.
Nothing is more important than staying safe on the unpredictable open road. Which is why the VW Passat and the Elantra come standard with a range of safety systems such as:
These features are designed to keep an eye out for potential danger and even bring your vehicle to a complete stop in certain situations.
Additionally, the VW Passat offers Adaptive Cruise Control on its base model, helping take the edge off during long commutes. The Hyundai’s Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go is available with an upgrade.
