Quality C-Class cars are a must for today's market. Many manufacturers are ready to give everything to win the first positions in this class. Today corporations from Japan, Korea and Europe have fought their swords in search of the best in the segment of comfort class. What came of this, let's see in today's review of the three brightest and most unpredictable sedans. The Korean Hyundai Elantra has updated for several generations and has become a well-deserved participant in the market, without which it is difficult to imagine competition in the C-class. Czech Skoda Octavia became one of the main contenders for gold in this segment. True, the rules had to be slightly changed for the participation of this car, because in its essence it is a liftback or even a hatchback. But the Japanese Corolla with the update has lost a little in popularity and got lost between competitors. Perhaps in vain? Let's figure it out.

A quality car is not only pleasant appearance, but also a lot of other criteria that are very important for a modern person. Quality and reliability are at the top of the requirements, but you shouldn't forget about comfort either. Modern motorists require the car to comply with all qualities equally. It is unlikely that you will be able to operate the car in full with high quality, if you do not get the full set of advantages from it. So it is much better to take advantage of an offer that has been recognized by thousands of buyers than to strive to get to know the market on your own. Moreover, a car today is quite expensive and may turn out to be a purchase for a long period of time. Let's finally compare the three promising representatives of the comfort class and choose the best offer.

Optimal for the price and quality of the Korean Hyundai Elantra

Korean reliability - even a dozen years ago, these words sounded perverse and were understood skeptically. Today even some japanese cars will envy Korean offers with the highest quality and a huge amount important advantages. Hyundai elantra receives amazing reviews from customers, the car is simply unique and created for travel on Russian roads. Despite the only drawback in the form of low ground clearance, the car easily overcomes difficult road sections and does not require paying attention to the pace of the trip. The main technical features auto are as follows:

  • base divider for Elantra - 1.6-liter unit with 135 capacity Horse power and good dynamics for such a body;
  • an older 1.8-liter gasoline engine produces 150 horsepower, which is very strong when driving on the highway;
  • mechanics and an automatic machine are available for the junior unit, but the senior power unit works only in tandem with automatic transmission gear;
  • large wheels guarantee high travel comfort and exclude breakdown on small irregularities in the road;
  • the suspension is moderately stiff, on bad road it feels like athletic, but does not cause discomfort;
  • the steering is quite sharp, but the comfort in the car does not decrease from this.

All features Hyundai operation Elantra say that a car can go for many years without problems and does not require special repairs. It must be admitted that in most situations, transport behaves adequately and does not make you regret purchasing. By the way, the basic cost of the car today is only 819,000 rubles. For that kind of money, you can buy such an interesting and representative car. An interesting feature Elantra is its appearance, which epitomizes all the great achievements of the Korean automotive industry. The machine looks very modern and pleases the eye as much as possible without annoying the owner.

Skoda Octavia - basic instincts on the road

It is an undeniable bestseller that has received numerous awards and incredible awards throughout Europe. The car overcame the glory of its donor - Volkswagen Golf. In comparison with the German hatchback, the Czech looks more ascetic, but offers no less interesting technology. This creates a certain merit in the car and makes many buyers pay attention to this offer. Of course, it's not just the ascetic appearance and more classics in the design features of the car. It is also about the fact that the Octavia turned out to be one of the most durable and quality cars in its class. Among the important achievements of Czech cars are the following features:

  • the base power unit is 1.6 MPI with 110 horsepower, this is a legendary German engine that does not break or fail at all;
  • the modern 1.4 TSI unit offers more power - from 140 horsepower, but also an adequately shorter service life;
  • a huge 1.8 TSI power unit is installed on sports versions and the highest configurations of the Octavia, produces 180 horsepower;
  • the only one in Russia diesel unit The 2.0 TDI offers 143 horses, a very dynamic ride and incredible fuel economy;
  • an automatic machine is available for each engine within basic configuration, there are separate versions with design changes in performance;
  • the suspension is more similar to the sports one, but there is no special rigidity in standard urban use, the advantages are visible on the track.

As soon as you step on the gas pedal, the TSI turbocharged car will take off and change character. These are the units that can be considered one of the best developments of the German Volkswagen corporation in recent years. Diesel is not recommended to take, even if it eats little fuel. The heavy fuel engine pollutes the environment very much and is not very convenient in Russian operation. However, this is a subjective opinion, so any variation of the Skoda Octavia is fully suitable for your purchase. The basic version with the simplest unit costs 854,000 rubles. This is quite good considering all the advantages and advantages of such a machine.

Toyota Corolla - a shift in generations and a drop in sales

Classically, it was the Corolla that was considered one of the most promising sedans in the C-class. The only worthy competitor to the car was the model Volkswagen jetta... But the next update came as a surprise to buyers. As it turned out, the surprise was not very pleasant, because after its exposure, the company stopped selling cars as it had done before. At first, lovers of Japanese technology actively began to rejoice at the new design, but over time it became clear that the new style very quickly got bored, on the streets this car merged with a crowd of other developments and ceased to delight the buyer. However, positive features of Toyota corolla enough:

  • the base engine remained 1.33 liters for 99 horsepower - an excellent unit for city trips;
  • the 1.6-liter power unit produces 122 horsepower and quite actively pulls the machine both on the mechanics and on the automatic transmission;
  • the top-end 1.8-liter engine can be called sports, with its 140 horsepower, even on a simple machine, the dynamics are very good;
  • the reliability of each unit has been proven over the years; in the technical part, the Japanese did not change the car too much;
  • comfort is quite good, the basis of the suspension is made up of details to create softness and smooth movement;
  • at speed, the machine holds the road well, but at too high speeds, confidence is lost.

This is a car worth considering as a great buy if you don't need extra visibility on the road. Transport has already become familiar, the pretentious appearance has become familiar and ordinary. It should be noted that the Japanese reliability was preserved in this development, the car did not lose its potential and did not become worse than the previous generations. Most likely, it was the appearance that scared off buyers, which is not comparable with the ascetic and classic Toyota. However, familiar models such as RAV4 or Highlander and even Prado did not remain ascetic in new generations. So it is worth putting up with this appearance and giving preference to the Corolla. Even if because of the basic cost of the car is only 839,000 rubles. We offer you to watch a video of a test drive of the Corolla performed by a professional journalist:

Summing up

You can compare these three cars for a long time and give a variety of reasons, each of which will have weight. But ultimately, the main observation and conclusion from all of the above will be this advice - choose a car exclusively for yourself. To do this, you need to go to the salons of three brands and ride three representatives of the C-class, recognized as the best in their segment. According to car service specialists, it would be better to take the base Skoda Octavia, lovers of Japanese cars will advise taking the Corolla, and connoisseurs of economy and modern technologies will recommend the Hyundai Elantra.

In fact, you need to decide which cars are the most attractive and high quality for you. it the best option a selection that does not tolerate any advice. Drive on different cars and make all the necessary comparisons, read customer reviews and expert opinions, but take your own opinion on the purchase. Therefore, there are so many manufacturers in the world of cars, because everyone can find for themselves the best way and it will not be like the general opinion. Which C-Class sedan would you choose?

Hyundai Elantra, 6th generation, 09.2015 - 07.2019

I have a min. equipment. The car is service and I temporarily live and work in the glorious city of Almaty (s) (Kazakhstan). Perhaps there is a difference with the Russian Federation, the previous generation is still being sold here. 1. Good int. interior volume and trunk. External size is reasonable sufficiency: when there is a lot of Camry, and Solaris is small and cheap.
2. Move. 1.6 tries hard, peppy and economical for its volume. You can increase the "buns": the presence of complete sets with 2 liters, heated rear sofa, leather.
3.92+ gasoline.
4. USB port and a pair of sockets.
5. Under the hood for people: free access to the engine, you can tighten the alternator belt by tightening the nut (well done), the washer reservoir with the norm. neck and lid on the "hinge". In general, it looks like solutions that do not prevent the owner from self-service.
6. In white it is not interesting to traffic cops. :)
7. Steering wheel for reach and height, seat lift, electric glass.
8. Not a bum-cloth for the seats.
9.6 ACKP.
10. The level of electrification (mirrors, wipers mode (manual setting), fog lights, etc.)
11. Soft plastic.
12. Good handling for the average driver.

1. Weak windshield glass.
2. Low clearance (relevant for Siberia).
3. If the car is not in a plane, then the doors are closed with effort (possibly in the last generation in a different way).
4. ESP is not in my version.
5. 6AKPP + 1.6 engine - they are trying, but 2 liters is better. :) And it's even better to pour all the same 95 :)
7. Ergonomics of landing: I am of average height and would like to have a lower handlebar. And so I remember the VAZ 2106 on the grip of the steering wheel, the microlift and the outlets of the column do not help.
8. Blue backlight (I like it, but many do not).
9. Lack of heated front seats.
10. The brakes are too harsh (in my opinion).
11. At first it seemed to me that he was "a goat". Moreover, I knew that there was a beam behind, and a couple of personal cars with 3 and 3.5 liters and, accordingly, with other technical solutions. But then I got used to it, especially if the roads are decent, then the average drivers will not notice this (and those who did not have time to spoil themselves with the low exchange rate and the availability of cars will not notice :(

10,000, but something podryakivaet in front, and not the suspension. What a conditionally "plastic" knock. A pebble flew into the area of ​​the counter, a microscopic chip came out of work, and already a crack of 7 cm, it was too late to drill. The plastic at the back does not resist children's feet :)

Good day! If you are already over 50 and you are a calm measured person, do not rush anywhere, then this car is for you. The advantages of Elantra 6 are its appearance, especially in black. Drove 18 thousand by car. Engine 1.6. machine. There were no problems. If in terms of dynamics, then the car on the track goes sadly, especially when overtaking, in the city so-so ... The paintwork is shit, chips are already on the hood everywhere. Soundproofing a la Lada six. The decoration inside is sad, the plastic is scratched by the cap, any not neat movement is a chip or scratch. The conclusion was the following: if you just drive calmly from A to B, then it will do. If you want more, there is no point in overpaying, buy Diesel Fuel or Rio. (Before it was a Passat 1.6 102 l and Peugeot 308 120 l)

Already at first glance, it becomes clear that Hyundai has decided on its own, unique style. Cascading cascades with a large core is a calling card this car... And even broken sockets of devices. The Hyundai Elantra is slightly similar in interior design to the I30, but still differs from it in its concave center console, which has original radio and climate control units.

A pleasant impression was left by the soft plastic of the interior, the neat chrome inlay and, in general, not a cheap design.

If Hyundai Elantra is so good, then Toyota Corolla is not lame. Today any dealerships dream of having these two cars in their assortment. And all this is due to the fact that these cars are easily and quickly sold. And not only in one country, but all over the world. But our situation is a little different.

The main and main reason is not in the well-known Russian uniqueness that distinguishes our person, who cannot be substituted under the same European or American standard. This is not the point, but the fact that not every Russian is capable, and will want to shell out 650 thousand rubles to buy a Toyota. And only the basic equipment of the Toyota Corolla car, equipped with 1.3 liters, costs so much. engine.

The version called Toyota Corolla "Comfort plus" looks more attractive, especially since a 122-powerful engine is already installed here, and the car is additionally equipped with a stability control system, a full set of airbags, air conditioning and a good audio system. This is a 2014 model and it is not cheap - 801 thousand rubles.

As for the 140-horsepower Toyota Corolla model, everyone is asking for it, especially since it already costs 890 thousand rubles. On the other hand, if you add a few Moscow salaries to this amount, then you can buy a more prestigious and fashionable sedan, and if you look well, then a crossover.

Hyundai Elantra, judging by the price list, also does not want to waste time on trifles. Its engine, supplied as standard, will, however, be more powerful than Toyota's. by as much as 50 thousand rubles. Not weak, huh? But in this basic version called Hyundai Elantra "Classic", wheel made of plastic, and there is no radio tape recorder at all.

As for the Hyundai version, equipped with ESP and side airbags, it costs at least 790 thousand rubles. And the top-end Hyundai Elantra "Comfort", endowed with a heated steering wheel and a rear-view camera, is worth even more. According to the latest data, about 900 thousand rubles.

Finally, the version called Hyundai Elantra Prestige, equipped with light sensors, a salon mirror with automatic dimming, a multimedia system and climate control, is scary to approach.

Although the same climate control and multimedia system can be obtained in the Hyundai Elegance version, which is much more affordable.

These are the prices for both sedans. And now let's try to look at what set of benefits the happy owner will get, if he decides to do it.

Does the word diverge from the deed

Most recently, the chief of the main Toyota concern, engineer Mitsuhisa Kato, said that only that vehicle, controlling which you can get comfort or "high", as he literally put it. The words are truly golden, especially since they were confirmed with the release of the new Highlander model. As for the Toyota Corolla, then one can argue here.

Video test drive Toyota car Corolla:

Naturally, the Toyota Corolla car was made neatly, and there is no need to expect anything else from the Japanese manufacturer, because for many years high quality assembly he proves. Toyota Corolla has strict forms, but for some reason its lines do not excite feelings accustomed to an unexpected turn of events. Probably, we have missed something new and original, and have not shouted for a long time: "Wow, this is just cool!"

Here Hyundai Elantra looks much better in this regard. The lines of this car seem to be warmer, perhaps, more sincere.

The finish of the Hyundai Elantra car is excellently done, and the fit of the panels is so accurate that you are amazed. It is quite logical that and. In a word, if there are drawbacks, then they are not so significant.

For example, take the wide windshield pillars of the Hyundai Elantra, which, on the one hand, worsen general form, and on the other hand are a lasting remedy passive safety... And when you look at this with an understanding of why everyone did this, the shortcomings cease to be such.

For some reason, the same buttons for adjusting the mirrors of the Hyundai Elantra are deprived of illumination, although they are rarely used in the dark. And there is no possibility to lower the seat lower, but this is noticed only by drivers of above average height. This kind of blunder is also noticeable in the design of the rear sofa, which is not as spacious as we would like. In short, all the manufacturer's shortcomings can be rehabilitated if you look at it from a practical or some other point of view.

But the creators of the trunk of the Hyundai Elantra cannot find excuses. You just wonder what prevented the designers from placing the couch backrests in the cargo compartment, and not where they usually are? After all, the seat still folds out of the cabin and the lock button luggage compartment definitely would not hurt. Even on the "Comfort" version, this button is absent, and either with the help of a key fob.

Video review Hyundai car Elantra:

But Toyota Corolla is more traditional in this regard. The trunk lid has its own button, and the locks are conveniently located on the backs of the sofa. In addition, the Corolla's cargo compartment is as much as 9 centimeters (and this is not so little) longer than that of the Korean. And the passengers sitting in the back will be more spacious in the Toyota Corolla.

As for the driver's comfort, Japanese designers have come up with an original solution. It can be called a Japanese constructivist dish. In a word, the completely round Toyota Corolla instruments are located next to the unequal trapezoid of the multimedia system unit. She, in turn, is propped up from below by a broken triangular type "climate control" panel. In other words, the atmosphere in the Toyota Corolla is somehow extraordinary and unusual, but not devoid of grace. But the power window buttons, from which they give off savings, are clearly points Japanese model will not add, especially if you add to them the unmasked plugs of the housings of the inner door handles.

Although, on the other hand, neither the free style and experiments of artists, nor the economy on materials, the appearance of the finish of the Toyota Corolla in no way spoils, especially without affecting the comfortable seating position of the driver who drives the car without straining one iota. In a word, the Japanese have everything in order with the ergonomics.

Chassis

The chassis of the Toyota Corolla has such that it immediately discourages the desire to perform feats and does not fit in any way with the driver-racer. But the Toyota Corolla car rolls evenly and equally comfortably both on smooth asphalt and over bumps. , but oddly enough, she is not afraid of even large, half-wheel-sized holes and excellently fights the rolls, which are inevitable when changing lanes in sharp turns.

As for the turns, their Toyota Corolla drives very carefully, as befits a respectable Japanese. But on the other hand, it is clearly demonstrated that, assembled from inexpensive elements, the undercarriage lends itself well to training.

Toyota Corolla engine to match the chassis. Again, the 140 horsepower power unit clearly cannot be called a weapon for rapid and dizzying attacks, but for long trips alone or with a company, the motor is clearly in place. In addition, only occasionally snapping at the persistent pressure of the accelerator pedal. By the way, such inappropriate behavior of the driver makes the variator nervous. After all, sharp and strong blows on the pedals, they are able to enter the checkpoint into a kind of stupor.

The traditional automatic transmission Hyundai Elantra for city trips is much preferable. Enduring any rudeness, without wasting time on thinking, the automatic transmission of the Korean continues to change gears excellently. If the grip is slightly loosened, then the switch will become more gentle and smoother.

Hyundai Elantra as a whole rides more cheerful than Toyota. Indeed, besides the quick and savvy box, there are other reasons for such a conclusion. Firstly, the Hyundai engine is 10 horses more powerful, and secondly, the Korean has a more elastic suspension.

It is this very suspension that affects the smoothness of the ride, which cannot be called ideal just because the shock absorbers are a little stiff.

But the Korean seems to have studied our Russian pits in advance and knows how to deal with them. Knee in corners of passengers and the driver does not throw out, and in this regard, Hyundai is probably more talented than its rival in the face of Corolla. But everything is done too judiciously, without a spark, or something. But ordinary cars are supposed to be like that, although not the most affordable, if you look at it from the point of view of an ordinary person,

As for the assessment of the two above-presented models, again left by the experts, they agree that the Japanese car is still better. Not so much, but her image is more abrupt, which will ultimately determine the price on the secondary housing.

Let's deduce the pros and cons of both models:

Benefits of Hyundai Elantra:

  • A trunk where you can safely carry a couple of travel suitcases
  • Plenty of space in the glove compartment
  • The Korean camera display has aiming markings, although it does not predict the trajectory of movement when turning the steering wheel.
  • Seats have the correct profile and tenacious non-marking upholstery
  • Flat floor at the back, allowing three passengers to sit comfortably
  • Optocoupler tidy, although decorating only the expensive version
  • Automatic transmission, which is Hyundai's own development

The video shows the suspension of the Hyundai Elantra car:

Toyota Corolla advantages:

  • The trunk is more voluminous and comfortable than that of Hyundai
  • Seats and driver's seat look much more attractive
  • Rear view camera, parking sensor and assistant
  • Convenient plastic cover that covers the power outlet, multimedia connectors and much more
  • Round digitization of devices

Cons Hyundai Elantra:

  • Clearly budget-friendly interior of inexpensive versions
  • Small trunk
  • Lack of trunk lock

Cons of Toyota Corolla:

  • Small wheels
  • A ride that is by no means aggressive
  • A variator that can go into a stupor
  • Small trunk

The conclusion can be drawn as follows. Both statics and dynamics korean car outplaying the Japanese. The Corolla clearly has lower build quality and a weaker engine, while the Korean car has excellent directional stability and high comfort. But the Korean loses in the volume and convenience of the trunk, as well as in other parameters. If we evaluate on a five-point system, then we put the Toyota Corolla 4, and the Hyundai Elantre 5.

Hyundai Elantra or Toyota Corolla? This question is asked by a large number of people when buying one of the cars. It is simply impossible to say for sure which car is better. Both cars are of good quality in their build.

But the article will present the main specifications to help you choose between these two vehicles.

Toyota Corolla specifications

Hyundai's main competitor is Toyota. These two cars are in constant competition with each other. However, there are distinctive features that are very striking when we talk about Toyota. The car is presented in the form of a five-door hatchback.

The engine in it has only ninety-seven horsepower. It runs on gasoline. The maximum speed of the car is one hundred and eighty-five kilometers per hour, and acceleration to one hundred kilometers is made in twelve seconds.

The characteristics given in the article will help in this difficult choice. Therefore, if you still do not know what to buy: Hyundai Elantra or Toyota Corolla 2014 - read the article. Good luck!

The class of mid-size sedans is one of the most beloved among Russian buyers. The competition is very fierce here. What do the representatives of the segment have to go to for the sake of the buyer?

These two sedans posed a tough challenge. What is really there! They offer to solve a difficult philosophical question - to be or to seem. The buyer will have to face the dilemma of what to choose - a simpler car in a generous configuration, or swing at something a class higher, but in a simple design. Yes, the decision is not easy to make. But let's count! We took Hyundai Elantra with 150-horsepower as the basis of our calculations. gasoline engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission in the maximum Family version for 1 210 000 rubles and a Toyota Corolla in the "Style Plus" configuration with a 140 hp engine paired with a variator for 1 289 000 rubles. It turns out: add 35,000 rubles to the price of "Elantra" and it will be possible to take the basic "Sonata" - with a 150-horsepower engine and a 6-speed automatic. For purchase Toyota Camry with a 150 hp motor instead of Corolla, a little more money will be required - 88,000 rubles will have to be paid in addition. But basic business sedans can hardly offer as much equipment as the middle class! So is it worth chasing ostentatious prestige or is it better to get more options and comfort, which and are ready to provide their owners?

What do they offer

Hyundai Elantra offers two gasoline engine to choose from - with a capacity of 128 or 149 hp. The starting price is 957,000 rubles. Toyota Corolla has a slightly wider choice of engines - under the hood of a Japanese sedan there can be a 99, 122 or 140 hp engine. And prices start at a more attractive mark - 933,000 rubles. We compared cars with rich trim levels and top-end engines to see if they can compete with their older colleagues. The differences between sedans are not striking. It seems that the cars are almost identical - they have engines of similar power, comparable sets of equipment, similar dimensions... So you have to look closely at the little things to find the differences.

Since we decided first of all to count the money and the amount of equipment assigned to each of the competitors, let's compare the configurations. Which sedan will be more generous and offer more for the same amount? Both have a lot of useful equipment in their arsenal - dual-zone climate control, heated front seats and a steering wheel, a rear-view camera, and buttons for controlling the multimedia system on the steering wheel. And yet, the Hyundai Elantra's equipment turned out to be a little more attractive. The Korean sedan, unlike the Japanese one, can also boast of heating rear seats, front parking sensors, electric folding outside mirrors, light and rain sensors. In addition, the Elantra as a whole gives the impression of being more expensive car... For example, she knows how to carefully move the driver's seat for a more comfortable fit, as cars of a class above do. It would seem a trifle, but how convenient! Toyota Corolla is lagging behind its Korean opponent, but not much. She also has a pretty impressive list of equipment, everything you need is present. There are benefits too! The Japanese sedan has a better multimedia system. She has a larger and more informative screen - seven inches versus five at the "Elantra". And in the operation of multimedia "Corolla" is more convenient: the logic of the menu, ease of use, functionality without any complaints.

The interior of Toyota Corolla turned out to be successful. The multimedia system has all the necessary functionality, the interface is logical and simple. The quality of materials, ergonomics, space - everything is in order. In the second row there is free space with a margin, the seats are comfortable, the legs do not rest on the backs of the front seats

Who quickly

A plus in the "Korean's" piggy bank: his motor is 10 hp. more powerful than Toyota. However, in the discipline "Acceleration from standstill to 100 km / h" the Korean sedan will not win an unconditional victory. The dynamics of competitors does not differ much at all. To overcome the line of 100 km / h "Elantra" requires 9.9 seconds, and "Corolla" a little more - 10.2 seconds. At the same time, subjectively, the Japanese sedan is much more nimble and agile than the Hyundai Elantra. The "Korean" pays much more attention to the comfort of the driver and passengers - it overcomes any irregularities gently, without transferring unnecessary vibrations to the cabin. "Corolla" is not so scrupulous - it allows itself more rigidity and uncompromising. But it is also more interesting to manage it. Despite the lower engine power, the Japanese sedan is able to add drive! The Corolla also wins in terms of free space in the cabin. The driver has more "air" over his head, passengers of the second row will also be more comfortable in Japanese sedan- three adults will be accommodated here without any problems. And the knees are unlikely to rest on the backs of the front seats. In "Elantra", though quite a bit, but closer. This is especially noticeable in the "gallery". Passengers on the back sofa, especially tall ones, will not be so at ease. There is not much legroom here. But the competitors have complete parity in terms of useful space in the trunk: 458 liters of usable volume for the Hyundai Elantra and 452 liters for the Toyota Corolla. In terms of the convenience of loading, the luggage is also a draw. Both have comfortable and wide enough openings. At the "Japanese", however, the trunk is a little deeper. But it is not critical - only 6 cm. In terms of the quality of the interior decoration, it is a draw. The salons of both sedans look very dignified - no worse than those of higher class cars. Solid materials are used, plastics are pleasant to the touch. Ergonomics is also hard to find fault with. Convenient in both Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla.
