Where each one leads
Hyundai Elantra Touring
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Nissan Juke
- Against cars of the same year, the Nissan Juke comes out better in New York safety inspections (fails 12% more often than average) than the Hyundai Elantra Touring (fails 43% more often than average).
- On Canada's official test the most frugal 2017 Nissan Juke uses 8.0 l/100 km, the 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring 9.0.
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
