The Honda Civic makes driving fun in a way rivals can’t match. Compared to other sedans like the 2026 Hyundai Elantra, the Honda sedan gives you more control and more support behind the wheel. Put these features against the competition at Ottawa Honda and see why it’s in a class all its own.

Ride Comfortably

The 2027 Honda Civic features a standard multi-link rear suspension designed to contribute to responsive handling and a composed ride. Most 2026 Hyundai Elantra trims use a coupled torsion-beam rear suspension, while only the performance-oriented N Line employs a multi-link setup. That means every Honda Civic Sedan gives you the more sophisticated independent rear suspension design.

More Support

Whether you commute to Joliet or stick around Ottawa, IL, stop-and-go traffic is easier in the Honda Civic. This sedan comes standard with Traffic Jam Assist, helping handle rush-hour traffic when you’re under 45 miles per hour. Similar features are only available options on the 2026 Hyundai Elantra. That’s just the start of the additional safety support: the Honda model also features rear outboard airbags, while the Hyundai Elantra doesn’t.

Hands-Free Control

The cutting-edge infotainment in the 2027 Honda Civic makes the 2026 Hyundai Elantra look prehistoric. Available Google Built-in™ gives you hands-free control over your music, navigation, and more. It can even directly install apps from the Google Play Store™ to be run on your touchscreen, and it’s only available on the Honda model. The Hyundai sedan doesn’t offer that tech package.
