If you’re looking for an affordable small car for your next purchase, there are a number of great options available to you from today’s top automakers. For major value and long-term dependability, you may have narrowed your search down to the 2014 Kia Forte vs the 2014 Hyundai Elantra. Both have comfortable seating for five passengers, SiriusXM compatibility, and excellent warranties that are hard to beat with other models. But how are these two compact sedans different? The first thing you’re likely to notice using our handy comparison chart is that the Forte’s recommended base price is considerably lower than that of the Elantra. As far as how that correlates to the capability, efficiency, and features on each model for all-around value, the results are pretty clear there as well: You get more for less with the Forte.

It’s clear from the chart that in terms of horsepower, torque, and fuel economy, the 2014 Kia Forte and 2014 Hyundai Elantra are pretty well matched. The Forte offers a little more capability while the Elantra has a slightly better mpg rating for city driving, but when it comes down to it there is no clear winner in these areas. One thing you’ll notice in the Forte, though, is that features like Bluetooth compatibility for use with your favorite mobile device comes standard, while in the Elantra it’s optional. So again, it comes down to a matter of value: What are you getting in return for your investment
