Both the cars lie in the same price range and offer similar features but Elantra provides a more luxurious experience. Elantra also has a larger fuel tank and offers a couple of more features that are absent in the Civic such as power seats, and sunroof.

Toyota Corolla also has a very strong fan base in the Pakistani market which acts as a strong competition for the Hyundai Elantra. Corolla also has the same lackings as that of Civic. It lacks sunroof, power seats and fails to give the level of luxury and comfort which Elantra provides.
