A comparative overview:
Convenience
In terms of convenience, with the Toyota Camry, you will be making less frequent stops at the gas station as it offers better mileage and fuel efficiency than with the Hyundai Elantra, due to its tank size.

Cost
There are many factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. One of the significant aspects is the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). In this reference, the Hyundai Elantra is a better financial choice over the Toyota Camry. Apart from this, one should also consider the Destination Charge, a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it’s built. But both the vehicles rank the same on this.

Performance
Coming to the performance, the first thing that comes to the mind is the horsepower, which is basically a tie between the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Camry.

Utility
Comfortable seating is paramount and in this reference, you’ll fit the same number of people in both the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Camry. But the Camry offers more room – legspace, headspace and seat-width.

Warranty
Though you’ll have better peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Hyundai Elantra than that of the Toyota Camry — you cannot deny that the Toyota reliability is a clear winner! The price for Hyundai Elantra is approximately SAR 66,165 to SAR 74,690, depending on the model. The cost for the Toyota Camry 2020 is about 96,370 SAR to 107,295 SAR approximately.
