Those in the back seat can stretch their legs a full 41.4 inches in the Corolla while you'll be cramped with the Elantra's miniscule 33.1 inches. Do the math.

POWERTRAIN AND FUEL ECONOMY

The 2015 Toyota Corolla springs from an automaker known for its precision engineering and fuel economy. So you'll expect great engines, and you'll get them with a choice of two -- a 1.8L 4-cylinder producing 132 hp and a 1.8L 4-cylinder with 140 horses. In comparison, the Elantra also offers 2 engines -- a 1.8L Inline 4 with 145 hp and a 2.0L I4 with 173 hp. The Elantra offers a bit more power with its engines, but sacrifices fuel efficiency. While both the 2015 Corolla and Elantra garner an estimated 31-mpg combined city/highway with the 4-cylinder with manual, the Elantra V6 only manages 28 mpg, while the fuel-efficient 2015 Toyota Corolla LE Eco kicks butt with an impressive 34 combined mpg.
