2017 Hyundai Elantra: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know

[@kcirreb94]

Tailights lights looks, menacing i love it

[@made2blaze]

Hyundai has been making some nice cars lately. I'm a mechanic and I'll admit, they do have their issues but they are made fairly well.

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Much improved looks over the last generation for sure!

[@tven5097]

+© Maxxtruck9906 Indeed, it looks so much sporty now !

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

I prefer the last generation look much more. This is very nice but I love the more sculpted design of my 2014 Elantra. I still get complements on how sharp it looks. I think the new design has lost some of the sporty look to it. Still a great car though.

[@Nestle245]

This car is very spacious for not being a midsized sedan. Drove from NY to NC with 2 6 footers in the back and they had good space.

[@TaofikiGafar]

Hyundai does things right. They don't take their smaller cars lightly. This car is stacked with features. My fiance and I bought a 2016 Sonata Eco few months back. Well worth the buy. Has more features than any luxury car under 35k. We only paid 22k. Value and price should be more important than name brand.

[@AllGasNoBreaks416]

Yes, its going to also be amazing how after you take it out of the dealership its gonna lose half its value :-)

[@vimotnguoi4ever]

+Naveen S every car has the same loss value after driving off dealer...so what is your point?

[@TaofikiGafar]

Thanh Nguyen Right idk the point either. Only thing I do get is other brands lime Honda and Toyota hold more pre-sale value. The thing is these stats aren't objective they are subjective. Ppl assume Hondas and Toyotas are the point reliable cars on the road like we are still in the 1990s. Technology can change but perspective and brand value is even harder. Perception of longevity is the only reason the "hold" more value not fact

[@vimotnguoi4ever]

+Taofiki Gafar I got mine Elantra brand new for 15k plus tax...what other brand can offer... Value and reliability is thing that exception Hyundai offer... They made the right to introduce G90....they are on the right way I don't think Honda and Toyota are bad...in fact, they are good company.... but Hyundai prove that beyond Brand...there is something to consider.

[@AllGasNoBreaks416]

Thanh Nguyen Hyundai is awful. Plus if you live in North America they aren't a respected brand. Pretty pointless of buying it brand new. a slighy less then 1 year used one will cost 65% of what it cost new.

[@jbar_85]

I recently had 2016 Optima rental car. It was the base model but it was well equipped and I loved how it handled and the transmission! Great car and even with a total of 4 passengers, we got it to 40mpg with mainly highway driving! It was very quiet too! I was very impressed!

[@peggyevans9763]

Jess Barnett i

[@NangNangEE]

I actually like the look. Especially the back.

[@ravengsxr]

The car is very spacious, i'm, 6'4" and i can fit no problems. Tried out the new Civic and i could not fit inside the car, impossible.

[@Okenpo]

Digging the taillights

[@honestycounts9352]

THANK GOD: NO CVT in their automatic transmission, and they have a volume control knob for the radio !!!!

[@brandonfriesen5389]

Love where Hyundai is, and where they're going. My only complaint is that the manual transmissions are restricted to base models. If they made the top of the line trim in a manual with or without that new 1.4t, I'd be a buyer for sure. I'll stick to my 2013 Jetta for now.

[@jeffk464]

+Brandon Friesen I would only get a manual in a sports car.

[@NotARealUTubeAccount]

+Brandon Friesen You can get the manual in SE trim with the Turbo.

[@kalaniruiz3065]

Roman can you please do a review on this car!

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

I was impressed with the Elantra rental I had for 3 weeks and 3500+ miles later .

[@jeffk464]

Looks good inside and out.

[@aujla7564]

I really like the nav setup that with uconnect would be insane

[@graham3400]

Dissapointed there's no coupe. Could've looked really good with the new grille and tail lights.

[@graham3400]

+지현우 The video said that the coupe is discontinued for 2017.

[@LuisMendoza-qv1er]

+Graham Braun it is discontinued, but i heard the sport version its going to look different (like the sonata sport 2.0t) and a 200 hp engine !!

[@Coupydog]

+Graham Braun Due to production costs, factory tooling, separate parts, etc. The Coupe was the weakest link in lineup. Major businesses do this to cut Corp losses.

[@shwt121]

I think the new redesign is looking amazing...

[@99waterlife]

I have a 2016 Elantra fully loaded and honestly I prefer the 2016 over the 2017 model

[@Reddylion]

Reason !

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

I have a 2014 Elantra and really love it so I'm not ready to trade it in for a 17, besides as good as the 17 looks, I still prefer the design of mine better.

[@decafam3410]

How about a 2.3L DI VVT non turbo motor for less complication and consistent even power? Power output on the current line up is anemic on paper. To consider a test drive in this I need confident passing power in my cars on paper and real world highway.

[@fayebrown914]

What are the differences between the 2017 and 2018 models? I can't decide which one to buy.

[@ErikPT]

Does anyone know if the new Elantra 2016 and up has more space in the passenger seats? I own a 2011 Elantra GLS and am thinking of buying newer Elantra later.

[@vhockada]

With the pedestrian detection sensors, if something like a squirrel or a cat runs in front of you will the car try to stop?

[@godwatcher3372]

+Veh Scorpio no,

[@jmcclelland85]

I am looking for a new car. I am in the market for a small compact sedan. I looked at the Toyota Corolla and Subaru Impreza and Honda Civic. I saw the new Hyundai Elantra the other day. The price and feature of the Elantra is thousands cheaper than the other cars. I am now seriously think of buying the Elantra .

[@cmcmanu8]

I'm sure Hertz will like this very much

[@carstonjohnson9860]

I just hope to God they have done something with the suspension. The suspension on the previous generation is smooth enough on good pavement and is actually pretty nimble in the corners, but rough road surfaces are like driving through a mine field, sending the car skittering left and right, and going over a speed bump is like driving off a curb. It's horrible!

[@oldtwins]

+Carston Johnson There is too much lack of independence in the suspension which creates this feeling. It's a cheap way to compensate for POS dampers.

[@berney100dagawd6]

I have a question I just recently got a Hyundai Elantra GT 2017 I wanted to know does it have a transmission dipstick I couldn't find it and the power steering

[@1958Cadillac-v2g]

The owners manuel will answer all you questions . Read it, and it will set you free.

[@aryehrosenthal2138]

Can you please do a video of the all-new 2019 redesigned Hyundai Elantra Value Edition Sedan?

[@thindrobin91]

Way better than my 2015 corolla s

[@YourMajesticKyng]

Except you have better resale value with your Corolla.

[@timmccall5374]

Hey/ Stupenhous one question What's your opinion about thjs !

[@RealBG1987]

that is one nice car, i want it

[@Lucky8s]

What's with the picture of the old Elantra?

[@billd5211]

Exactly

[@shwt121]

Dennis Xu -yeah, i love both in my limited.....my altima has a CVT and my elantra can run circles around it....however the altimas mileage is close to the elantras in the city.....

[@thatblackfb6]

I spit out my drink when he said 128 horsepower and then said "very powerful around town" Don't you love when people blatantly lie?

[@larry8065]

+LocustDubstep And 155 lb-ft of torque at 1,400 rpm is a lot of power down low, especially for a small sedan. I honestly don't think you know anything about driving.

[@thatblackfb6]

+Larry Yes because a turbo smaller than my fist doesn't take long to spool. 155 ft/lbs will feel quick up until about 3 2500rpm and then it'll die, as is what happens with small displacement turbo motors. Plus this car isn't even available in a manual so there's no way you'll ever get to play around with the boost at all. I know plenty about driving thank you, I do it for a living so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.

[@larry8065]

+LocustDubstep So you're admitting you're wrong and making it clear how clueless you are. Most people don't spend a majority of their time above 3,000 rpm when around town, and even less time when you have full torque at half that rpm. Besides that, I'm more than certain this car still packs plenty of grunt throughout the mid range, which is what we see with virtually all modern variable turbocharged engines, even in the more affordable ones.

[@Cm22c]

+LocustDubstep lol, 2,500rpm? You're an idiot.

[@elguapo4461]

+LocustDubstep Right, so the turbocharger is only good form 1,400 to 2,500 revs.

[@Death-Squad90]

Glad Hyundai didn't add a CVT. Overall, great looking car.

[@3crusade]

I enjoyed unbiased reviews of vehicles, whats with all of these dealer reviews?

[@TheLifetraveler1]

It is a 2017. Although in Korea it is a 2016.

[@christopherjones6915]

Hyundai and KIA have kicked Honda and Toyota's ass!

[@Ryukachoo]

"144 pound feet of torque.....really powerful" or lord are we becoming europe where most things barely scrape 150hp?

[@nikb6528]

yet Europe is teaching all of you Americans what cars should be like ... Do not give me the bullshit of Hellcat having 700hp+ if it barely does a quarter mile in 12 seconds lol ...

[@IKhanNot]

+Nik Brudar Going to extremes won't get your point across unless your sole intention was to come off sounding like an ass. A car can have 200HP and similar torque numbers and still be powerful but efficient. The Hellcat is a special type of car that's meant to be wild and out of control and not meant for everyday commuting. This engine in this Hyundai is pathetic and in reality won't give the supposed efficiency. There was a huge lawsuit files against Hyundai because drivers were getting nowhere near the supposed fuel economy Hyundai and the bullshit EPA claimed.

[@nikb6528]

Djonkie Bonk true, but 144lb/ft of torque will move thiscar fairly fine, and the commenter was the one who started belittling this car over nothing. Mind you, your American cars weigh about as much as the moon so 150lb/ft barely moves them.

[@nikb6528]

***** lol people and cars to be exact.

[@IKhanNot]

Nik Brudar I'd like to see how well this car would move with 4 passengers in it with stuff in the trunk and the A/C blasting. Probably not well. Good torque and good gearing is important, something this car doesn't have.

[@luishe9377]

Front looks like Corolla mixed Focus

[@frankmartin9746]

very beautiful

[@joeb1808]

this is why I like Toyota so much. they make a motor and perfect it, keep it for years, and all is good. Hyundai is going to use 2 new motors. after they work out the issues, they'll change it. As nice as it is, this car is no longer on my short list.

[@apathy2673]

Nice to see Hyundai building Ford Fusions.

[@driveri1435]

Those Jaguar XJ headlights though.

[@AlexM..]

Why is it being shipped out now in 2016 but is considered a 2017?

[@ShockinglyBleh]

1.4 and very powerful should not be in the same sentence.

[@debbiecrider888]

This video is suppose to be showing me how to set the clock in my "new" Hyundai. However, it initially was showing me how to set clocks in 2016 vehicles. This is 2017. I have had a 2017 since October 2016. Hyundai does seem to fall behind a bit. For example they sent me a free oil change and car wash coupon. I make the appointment and they no longer do free car washes. Well, I didn't send me a coupon - they did. They need to get smarter with their promotions. I wouldn't care if they didn't offer it, but to send it to me and then take it away - bad business folks.

[@seifsalman]

so comparing this to the all new civic , the civic is more powerful 174hp vs 147 , more fuel efficent 34 ampg vs 33 aveage mpg , the civic have a better more spacious cabin and a better chassis and more fun but the elantra is a bit cheaper

[@oldtwins]

+seif salman In fairness, the Hyundai will be much less costly on the used car lots a year from now. Look into picking one up if you need a cheap POS disposable car to rack miles on. Likewise, pay more for the Honda but it will hold its value much better so get that one new.

[@jrs9264]

as a previous poster stated, this car has a cheap torsion beam rear suspension, without multi-link and rear anti- sway bar. it bunny hops over bumps and on curves. already, recalls are being issued because malfunctioning of esc sensors can cause loss of vehicle control. the esc is no replacement for the rear sway bar. civic, jetta, scion im, passat , and elantra prior to 2011 have i.r.s. with sway bar. focus, cruze, sentra , mazda 3 use multi-link and sway bar with rear beam setups. unwarranted, penny-pinching cheapness by hyundai. Shame !

[@chrmnxpnoy]

+John R Scorsese thank you sir for confirming my suspicions about the rear suspension. i drive a Veloster Turbo and absolutely HATE the rear suspension on it.

[@jrs9264]

+Brian Bautista i ended up with the elantra gt/i30, which was designed in europe. it uses a v- beam rear suspension, combination of beam and multi-link. i added a full size spare to replace the donut spare it comes with. the gdi engine is better than the turbo veloster. just use full synthetic oil .

[@DesuVR]

So this is actually a mid-size car? Does that mean the Sonata is a full-size car?

[@sl1ker]

They took a stepback with the 2017, the 2016 is so much nicer!!

[@mmoo058]

That's sad!! I don't know why the new Elantra has less HP than previous model ?

[@walterd7331]

Much better than Sentra

[@87Maroon]

So when Hyundai told us this car was embargoed until Monday, were you just like "Fuck that!" or what?

[@TFLcar]

Are you certain "this car" was embargoed until Monday? You may want to check your facts again.

[@87Maroon]

It was the very first thing they said in the press room. "This drive is embargoed until 12:01 AM on Monday, because there are people who haven't driven it yet." You might want to not be a jerk.

[@bobert866]

+The Fast Lane Car Reported.

[@brianwaring7283]

+Bradley Brownell Only driving impressions were embargoed. This video contains no driving impressions.

[@TheBluehornz01]

Outgoing model had an optional 173hp engine. Why would you make the "all-new" choices less powerful?! A turbo 4cyl with only 128hp is not great. Look how much power other automakers get from 4cyl turbos...Ford, Fiat, Nissan, Chevy,etc. Heck, a Chevy Sonic turbo sits at 140hp and that is only okay because that car weighs nothing.

[@oldtwins]

+TheBluehornz01 It is interesting Hyundai went this route when they have more experience in economy engine turbocharging than Honda does. They could have made a killer engine to rival the 1.5t the Civic will be utilizing. Not sure what happened there. Maybe they are interested in targeting fleet sales where rock bottom low price and MPG are the top concerns.

[@TheBluehornz01]

Quite possible. I like the look of the out-going model & I like this new one. I know it's not a huge car, but at 150hp I think I would look elsewhere...assuming MPGs were not my main driving factor.

[@malteadotas4]

definitely a regression in terms of design.

[@AZNL3VER]

1.4l engine is that Chevy engine?

[@MrJ_FC3]

Front reminds me of the dart

[@hypershadow87]

Power is waaayyy too low. I was looking at one of these at a Hyundai dealership yesterday, but forget that now. I thought the second engine option would at least put the power somewhere in the 170 - 185hp range. smh No thanks.

[@sorinpancencu410]

nice

[@Clickbaiters]

Yet another homerun from Hyundai!

[@johnburroughs8138]

My 2016 Elantra it's not a reliable car I have had fuel pump problems and I'm having transmission issues at 81,000, I don't think they're going to be covered under the powertrain warranty. I would steer clear of Hyundai's and buy a Toyota or Honda

[@A.shoaib]

Is it better than nissan sentra ?! 🤔

[@varunishere]

Is it a joke or what? How come 2017 is out so early? So 2016 should have a depreciated value because the successor is already out? I hope it not up for sale.

[@bou212]

Why did nobody noticed that the Elantra has the AUDI grill?????

[@TheIrishPhantom]

Those power numbers are wimpy for a direct injected turbo. FCA making 160hp and 184lb-ft from a 1.4 without direct injection and all the reliability drawbacks that come with DI. Also... America hates dual-clutch transmissions, why did they opt for that? The only impressive feature on this newer version is the interior. It looks 10x better than the old car.

[@moularyves2]

It is unacceptable to have this much lag on a screen in 2016

[@edreyez484]

[@situationmoney]

It's disappointing Hyundai is moving away from its original styling. When I first saw the 2017 Elantra, I thought it was a Mazda... Hyundais are still the best value for the money when compared to Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda. Quality is now comparable, too... If you shop around, you can find a new base Elantra in the USA for under $16K...
