In the infotainment department, both cars have some impressive features. While both cars offer you features such as an 8-inch touchscreen display, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, the 2021 Hyundai Sonata has a few more tricks up its sleeve. With its Bose® premium audio with 12 speakers, an optional 10.25-inch color touchscreen with HD radio™, SiriusXM and Bluelink® and a 12.3-inch LCD cluster, the 2021 Hyundai Sonata emerges as the clear winner between the two.

Last but not least, let us talk about the safety features. Here also the 2021 Hyundai Sonata manages to exceed your expectations. This car comes with a Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist and many such features that make this car one of the safest vehicles on the road.
