Are you in the market for a new car, but find yourself having an internal Honda vs. Hyundai debate? A lot of Chicago drivers have found themselves in the same quandary. But don’t worry, we’ve put together a detailed comparison below to help you decide. We think you’ll see that Honda vehicles are by far the superior choice. We even include a Honda vs. Hyundai logo comparison to help you tell the difference.

Honda vs. Hyundai – Safety

Honda has by far the superior suite of safety features in the form of Honda Sensing®. But don’t take our word for it. Six 2021 Honda models earned the IIHS top safety ratings, including the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ winner. Here are some of the amazing safety features available in Honda vehicles:

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
  • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
  • Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
  • Honda LaneWatch™
  • Blind Spot Information System
  • Cross Traffic Monitor
  • Auto High-Beam Headlights

Honda vs. Hyundai – Vehicle Variety

Lots of Naperville drivers seem to be impressed with the Honda Odyssey minivan and Honda Ridgeline pickup, and with good reason. The Honda Odyssey has a lot to offer with exceptional versatility for your growing family.

When you search the Hyundai lineup for a minivan, you won’t find one at all. On the other hand, the Honda Ridgeline has built a reputation for performance and capability. The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a rival for the Ridgeline, but it doesn’t have the history and prestige that the Honda Ridgeline offers.

Honda vs. Hyundai – Performance

Honda vehicles outperform each of their Hyundai competitors, with the exception of the Hyundai Kona and Hyundai Nexo. The latter only being relevant if you happen to live in an area where refueling a fuel cell vehicle is even possible. Honda even beats Hyundai when it comes to certified pre-owned vehicles, with Honda vehicles having to pass a significantly more stringent inspection.

Honda vs. Hyundai Logo

Well, after seeing how superior Honda vehicles are to Hyundai, you certainly wouldn’t want to mix up the two. So, what’s the difference between the Honda vs. Hyundai logos? Both logos are similar, featuring an “H” in the middle of them. But the H in the Honda logo is surrounded by a square, whereas the Hyundai logo is oval-shaped.
