SAFE EXIT WARNING
You love your job. Getting to socialize with your work besties, working on unique projects when they pop up, and organizing fun after-work events bring a smile to your face. Your daily commute, though? You wish it could be shorter. We’re here to tell you that you’ll re-fall in love with driving again thanks to the Hyundai and the Nissan.
Driving the same route every day can get repetitive. While it’s good to know it like the back of your hand, shaking things up will reinvigorate your drive! With the Hyundai’s Drive Mode Select feature, you can transform your drives in these three ways:
- Normal
- Sport
- Smart
These drive modes provide performance changes, letting you find the right mojo for your errand runs or road trips. The Nissan’s standard Xtronic CVT® comes with Sport Mode to provide an extra boost of power. If you’re looking for additional ways to enhance your commute, choose the Elantra Hybrid.
So, you’ve got a long commute. With all those miles ahead, you’re probably looking for a vehicle that lets you avoid the gas pump. Both sedans extend their fuel efficiency to meet your needs; however, the Hyundai’s hybrid powertrain lets it go even farther than the Altima:
- The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 53 city/56 highway MPG.*
- The Nissan Altima achieves an EPA-estimated 27 city/39 highway MPG.
The Altima produces impressive mileage; however, the Hyundai taps into long-lasting hybrid power that will have you smiling for miles.
Rush-hour traffic. You know it. That part of your day where you spend more time than needed behind the wheel on your way to and from work. However, when you’re driving the Elantra Hybrid or the Altima, backed-up traffic can be relaxing and enjoyable thanks to their inviting and optimized cabins.
Swing open the doors of either sedan and you’ll stumble upon an oasis. All seats are swathed in premium cloth, helping you sink into your throne. Available leather-trimmed seats are available for an extra touch of luxury. Plus, you can move either driver’s seat in six ways, helping you settle into your sweet spot in just a few maneuvers.
When the temperature drops, drivers will find comfort in the Hyundai’s standard heated front seats. Who doesn’t want a warm embrace while they drive? Altima drivers can also enjoy this feature with an available upgrade.
If you also need to cool off when the temperature spikes, only the Elantra Hybrid offers available ventilated front seats. Talk about finding a unique way to stay calm, cool, and collected during bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Do you know what else makes those miles fly by? In-car infotainment! Both sedans have it in spades; however, you’ll be treated to additional luxury and convenience in the Hyundai. It features an 8-inch central display, which will provide crisper visuals than the Nissan’s 7-inch touchscreen.
Plus, the Elantra Hybrid comes standardly equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™. These smartphone integrations also come standard on the Altima, but they require a cord for pairing. The wireless connectivity in the Hyundai allows you or someone in the second row to play music, podcasts, or audiobooks!
The roads are unpredictable, whether you’re driving to your office in the city or heading out of town to your favorite farmer’s market. To help protect you in all scenarios, Hyundai and Nissan have built their sedans with standard safety suites. Which one will make you feel more confident behind the wheel?
Speaking of standard safety suites, meet Hyundai SmartSense and Nissan Safety Shield® 360! These intelligent and comprehensive systems will watch the road, other drivers, and your driving behavior to help keep you out of harm’s way.
Meet the systems these sedans have in common:
- Driver Attention Warning
- High Beam Assist
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
The available Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go features on either sedan will help take the edge off long-distance drives too!
Do you always need an extra set of eyes on the road? Pair these standard driver-assistance aids on the Hyundai with your copilot’s assistance, and you’ll feel even more comfortable at the helm:
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Lane Following Assist
- Safe Exit Warning
The Nissan Altima is available with similar lane-keeping features; however, Safe Exit Warning is unique to the Elantra Hybrid. It monitors the flanks of your vehicle for oncoming traffic, bikers, or pedestrians, and it will warn you of any detected motion, helping you to exit your vehicle safely.
The 2023 Elantra Hybrid and the 2023 Altima give Bloomington, Martinsville, and Ellettsville drivers a lot to rave about. These sedans look good in your company’s parking lot, but your next car should satisfy form and function. Thanks to its better efficiency, convenient cabin, and advanced safety, we believe the Hyundai fits the bill.
