Accent vs Corolla: Sedan Performance Specs
The 2019 Accent and Corolla power their way forward on standard 4-cylinder engines. Those powerplants are good for roughly 130 horsepower each, for a fully capable ride that can deliver you from Point A to Point B. For all your around-town errands, these cars have the reliable performance you need.
Test drivers have praised both these sedans for their smooth rides-a product of impressively well-tuned suspensions. Keep in mind, though, that the Accent has a smaller turning diameter (33.5 feet, compared to the Corolla's 35.6 feet), so it may be able to navigate those 3-point turns easier.
Cargo Space & Storage
In your next sedan, you want plenty of space to store the essentials. The Corolla's trunk has 13 cubic feet of cargo volume available, so you'll have room for some carry-on luggage or shopping bags. The Accent, meanwhile, gives you a bit more room with nearly 14 cubic feet available.
The Accent has another advantage: An available hands-free smart trunk. Just walk up to your trunk with the key fob in hand, and the trunk lid will open automatically-no foot gestures required. The Corolla has plenty of convenience features in the cabin, but it lacks this feature that's useful when your hands are full.
Top-Tier Technology Features
You'll find several great features in the 2019 Accent and Corolla. Chief among them is Bluetooth® wireless technology, which comes standard in both and lets you make hands-free calls or stream music during your drive.
The upgraded infotainment system in the Accent offers Hyundai Blue Link® telematics, along with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, so you can pair your smartphone with the touchscreen and use apps while you drive.
While the Toyota infotainment system offers Entune® App Suite, you won't find the highly intuitive Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto™ features available at all in the Corolla sedan. The infotainment system is also a bit trickier to master than the Accent's, according to test drivers.
