For many years, the Toyota Corolla has maintained its title as the best-selling sedan in Nigeria, establishing the Toyota brand as the most popular. Recently, however, another brand has emerged in the market: Hyundai, with the Hyundai Sonata becoming the best-selling model for the brand.
There is sometimes confusion between the 2015 Toyota Corolla and the 2015 Hyundai Sonata due to their similarities in appearance and features. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata is equipped with a gasoline engine that produces 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. According to NRCan’s fuel consumption ratings, the Sonata achieves an efficiency of 10.4 L/100km in the city, 7.4 L/100km on the highway, and 9.1 L/100km combined.
In comparison, the 2015 Toyota Corolla features a gasoline engine that delivers 140 horsepower and 126 lb-ft of torque. The Corolla’s efficiency ratings are 7.7 L/100km in the city, 6.0 L/100km on the highway, and 6.9 L/100km combined, based on NRCan’s assessments.
When it comes to safety, the 2015 Hyundai Sonata scores well in crash tests, receiving a 5-star rating in the Side Impact category, a 4-star rating for Rollover safety, and a 5-star rating for Frontal Crash tests. It has an overall NHTSA rating of 5.00, attributed to its side impact rating of 5, rollover rating of 4, and frontal crash rating of 5. The Sonata is equipped with 7 airbags (Front, Side, Side Curtain, and Knee), while the 2015 Toyota Corolla has 8 airbags (Front, Side, Side Curtain, and Knee).
Recently, a popular car dealer known as Automobil Poacher, with a significant following on social media, posed a question to his followers on X.com: “Which of these two sedans would you consider purchasing: the 2015 Toyota Corolla or the Hyundai Sonata Limited? Why would you pick your choice?” This post attracted many comments, including a notable response from well-known car dealer Ụchenna Ọdu.
