Hyundai InventoryChoosing Hyundai over Honda gives you access to more models to choose from and more models in each body style.

Plus, if you’re interested in driving an alternative fuel car—like a hybrid or plug-in hybrid—Hyundai is the way to go. They offer eight different models that run on alternative fuel. Not only does Hyundai offer more models, but only with Hyundai can you drive a car powered by hydrogen.

Having a car run on hydrogen power gives you access to fast charging. In five minutes or less, the NEXO Fuel Cell SUV can travel up to 380 miles.1 The same can’t be said about Honda.

Winner: Hyundai, for its model versatility and additional alternative fuel options.

Hyundai vs Honda Power & Quality

J.D. Power is a reputable source that aims to give voices to drivers. Each year, they reward vehicles and brands with awards based on the highest performance, quality, reliability, and more. Choosing a brand that’s received acknowledgment because of the opinion of its drivers is essential.

  • Hyundai J.D. Power Awards in 2020:
