2022 Elantra N Final Review

[@just-keep-shifting1029]

Just added a Performance Blue DCT to my garage last week and have ZERO regrets.. it’s a very Type R driving experience with a raucous exhaust and sedan profile! Really digging it. Appreciate your videos while I was waiting on mine!

[@yoitzvin]

Also, another thing I wouldn’t mind changing (not a major issue) is how the steering wheel controls for next and previous songs are. To go to the next song you have to press down and previous song is up… I wish it were the other way around lol. Confusing!

Having owned a new '01 ITR (b18c5) I just can't get down with the new k series civic type-r, I'm looking to get out of my 16 exl civic asap and this is my top pick. You're videos have pretty much settled me on getting one for myself thanks a million👊

[@litdoe7021]

I got the dct version in intense blue and it looks better in person than on videos. Looks agressive and sporty and blends well with the black grill and spoiler. I suggest u park on reverse at all times or u might accidentaly scratch the front lip. The cons of this car is that theres clank noises similar to hyundai kona at low speeds while driving in a parking lot. Seats r not for everyone ,u need to weight 180lb or less and not be a tall person. When getting out of the car ,its a bit uncomfortable and tell ur passengers to watch their heads while getting in ,rear seats dont have cup holders and usb ports or vents. Pros : infotainment has a lot of features like it tells u gas prices at gas stations in ur area and how to get there ,a doppler radar , info and map of racing tracks for the N cars ,in usa custom mode settings to adjust engine,tranny ,struts ,steering ,exhaust noise , limited slip differential etc. And much more. Gps is great , 0 glitches on bluetooth audio connection ,heated seats, nice bose audio system not the best but is good enough. Handling and taking curves r high speed is excellent thanx to the michellin tires and suspension ,acceleration is very responsive and quick , led headlights very bright and uniform , trunk space is good ,remote start ,unlock ,lock etc with your phone , good mpg on eco and normal mode (i get 31mpg in my city) exaust popcorn pops r loud and fun ,many ambient light colors to choose from

hey nice review, i respect your opinion on the cons. personally brake dust doesnt bother me since i live in canada and our cars get dirty regardless. as for the wheels i usually swap oem for aftermarket anyway. more options would have been nice. what bothers me the most is that the rear seats are not split in half so if you wanted to carry something long and had a 3rd passenger, you cant do that, seems like a simple thing they couldve added on.

[@thetorquedork5857]

Ya understood, I assume most people are using this as a secondary vehicle and not their main hauler. That will certainly be a bigger issue if it is your primary driver

[@gods1hell1spawn10011]

Is there a step up from this model? This doesn't do it for me. Rear wheel drive??

I wish hyundai would make the genesis coupe again. I have the 2014 2.0T with the same G4KF motor this has I believe and I'm not getting rid of it unless I get another rwd turbo car. Kia stinger GT maybe the answer to that but I like the two door design of my car.

Thank you for the great video. You speak so well. I'm living in Korea and I'm thinking about buying one with a manual gearbox when Hyundai removes the weird- and even stupid-looking triangles from the body. Do you think it's okay to drive this car for a daily commute of some 30 miles? I'm interested only in manual. I'm 50 years old and worried about the stiff suspension and the seats most.

[@thetorquedork5857]

The suspension is totally fine in normal mode. You can even drive in N mode and lighten the suspension all of the way. This is the perfect balance between a commuter car and bad ass track car.

[@LordHolley]

That was a really nice review. I have the DCT myself and I can agree with everything you said, dead on! The only other complaint that I personally have is that it does not have the auto pace cruise control. I do quite a bit of commuting, that would be nice to have. Funny how you said softening the suspension for the adjustable "N" mode makes it more fun on the street, exactly what I did.

[@thetorquedork5857]

Awesome, welcome to club N.

Front drive should have a tiny bit of oversteer since rear is controllable under braking.

Well Albert said the understeer was a feature XD

[@mi1stormilst]

Understeer is far more common in FWD cars.

[@wbwayne8887]

Are you sure you meant to say oversteer and not understeer. Understeer is a very common characteristic on a fwd car, while oversteer is very rare. That said though, I have heard other reviewers mention rotation, which would be indicative of oversteer so 🤷‍♂️

[@psewgobind]

[@thunderb2998]

Great video! Very informative. I'm looking to pick one up in the spring (I don't want to buy a new car in the middle of winter) however, what I'm worried about is how the car would handle in the winter. I'm upgrading from a 13' kia sportage, and I'm very comfortable ripping an AWD car around in the snow, but I've never had a front wheel drive car. Does anyone have one in a snowy area? If so how is the handling? Thanks!

[@thetorquedork5857]

Front wheel drive isn't terrible in the snow. You will 100% need a different set of tires. I see a lot of people in the reddit and Facebook forums in snowy countries with Elantra Ns

[@thunderb2998]

@@thetorquedork5857 Thanks for the quick reply! I figured as much with the tires I was already looking into buying a winter set. I'm glad to hear it's OK in snow, this winters been kinda brutal in NJ so it got me a little worried.

[@thetorquedork5857]

@@thunderb2998 understood. If you are used to AWD it will be an adjustment. I would suggest test driving some front wheel drive cars in the winter and see how you feel. The Kona N sits a little higher that might make you feel more comfortable although it is still front wheel drive.

[@thunderb2998]

@@thetorquedork5857 sounds like a good idea, I was gonna wait until spring to go for test drives, but it is probably best to do it now. I'll see if I can test drive a reg elantra first, my local dealer doesn't have any N's in yet so I can't even look at them :(

[@zxmurph1]

as a rule, with the right tires, a great handling car is a great handling car in the snow. That said, there are still normal caveats when it comes to the reality of ride height limits etc in more severe snow, but as an example I went from WRXs with Blizzaks to a 2014 Fiesta St and a 2017 Fiesta ST with Nokian Haks and vastly preferred the "tossability" of the ST in the snow over the WRXs I had. Yes, there is no getting around the fact that four contact patches are better than two when it comes to accelerating, particularly from a dead-stop, but in overall driving FWD can not only be ok in the snow, but very fun too. I have a 6sp N on the way as a daily, and while the tire size is a bit daunting for long-term costs, there are number of top-shelf Michelin and Pirelli winter applications available with another consideration being a more moderately sized winter tire/wheel package. I am looking forward to tossing it around in the snow, especially with that diff. The N also keeps the tradition of an absolutely vital fun tool for winter driving......an honest to goodness manual handbrake! Rochester NY here btw.

[@233277]

Thanks for the information. Is there any particular reason you went for the DCT over the manual? I'm getting mine with the manual, but it sucks I can't get the sunroof. Thanks for the content!!!

[@thetorquedork5857]

I personally live in a pretty congested area so a manual just didn't seem like the right choice. The wet DCT is really amazing. Once I test drove it I was sold. Plus you get the fantastic paddle shifters. Best of both worlds for me.

[@theweirdo61]

@@thetorquedork5857 If you use the paddle shifters and downshift, does it rev match? I know that's what the manual red button does, just wondering if it's a feature within the DCT?

[@theweirdo61]

I'm also leaning more towards getting manual BUT the DCT is extremely tempting. 1. Manual has a rev match feature, but no NGS (extra power for 20s with a 40s cool down period). 2. DCT is much heavier as is mentioned in the video, if that's something you want to consider, although I have seen some reviewers do a track faster (~1s faster that is) in manual than DCT. Although for a standing start, DCT will always win.

I do feel however occasionaly I'm missing some features I wish I had. Heatedseats, sunroof, and the new style of Nmode on the screen, etc. But I absolutely love this car and nothing beats It at this price atm. Also getting the DCT you miss out on a BIG feature on this car, the pops. I know it still does pop, but MT pop alot more, and you have alot more control over when it pops, just blip the throttle repeatedly and it never stops. Sadly that's not good for a DCT :/

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

I have a 2015 mk7 Golf R and looking at getting into the Elantra n. I was curious if the DCT model has a button to turn on the (I don't remember exactly what it's called) when you get to a stoplight and you don't have to keep your foot on the brake to keep the car from rolling forward and it just stays in place. It's a simple button in my golf R right next to my right thigh and something that's very important to me. Considering the Elantra N has so many custom adjustments, I would assume it would include this option but I figured I would ask someone like you who owns one. Thanks in advance.

[@thetorquedork5857]

Yes, the Elantra end does have this option. It does come with a caveat though. Because they only want you to use this on the track and not on the street. It is not a very easy button to find and you have to go through a few menu options to get to it. It automatically turns off every time you turn off the car, so to use it daily would be a bit of an annoyance. I have engaged it a few times and it also does not work perfectly. So yes it has it but it is not perfect

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

@@thetorquedork5857 I wonder why they would want you to use it on the track as opposed to daily driving? BTW it's called break Auto hold or simply Auto hold. The whole point of it is to not have to keep your foot on the brake when making a full stop like at a red light, thus making it more convenient for daily driving. And you say that it doesn't work well? Does that mean that when you are at a stoplight and you take your foot off the brake, sometimes it'll roll forward? Is that what you mean by not working well? Sorry about the follow-up question and all but I can't seem to find the answer online

[@thetorquedork5857]

@@Daveyboy_RS3 I am not sure why they only recommend it on the track. That is just what you find in their product marketing. Yes, that is what I mean by not working well. Sometimes the car still moves and if you're on any kind of slight angle at all it definitely doesn't work.

Mpg is great when you want it to be. If I drive it super hard in N mode I get about 19-20. If I drive it in normal mode and really pay attention to how I drive I can average about 34. That is damn good for a car that is this much fun.

If you put it in manual mode and say you're in 2nd gear going about 10 MPH and then floor it, does it stay in 2nd gear, or does it downshift?

[@thetorquedork5857]

It will stay in 2nd. It is pretty manual. It is rare that it will try to do any automatic shifting in manual mode.

[@youtoobe169]

@@thetorquedork5857 Thanks. I have been going back and forth between getting manual and auto, and I hate the auto paddle shifters like Mercedes where even in manual mode it will still automatically downshift or upshift. It's like it ignores manual mode because it thinks it's smarter than you. Another question. If you floor it from a stop, how often do you get wheel hop?

[@thetorquedork5857]

@@youtoobe169 in N mode very often. 2 things can help. Replace the lower motor mount and 2 completely disable ESC and that will help a lot

What are you people paying for this car? I keep seeing in my area people paying 40k for a 32k car 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@thetorquedork5857]

Just need to search high and low until you find a dealer willing to give you a fair price. There are dealers out there charging only MSRP but they are few and far between.

[@mi1stormilst]

I have heard that a number of people have overpaid for this car. It is an exciting car at MSRP, but if they try to sell it to you for $40,000 I would wait it out. It is still a great car, but at $40,000 you can buy a BMW.

[@nmode22]

@@thetorquedork5857 yeah I have searched here on the south east cost. All have been 38k +. I could see a 1k mark up but it’s just crazy what they are asking.

@@thetorquedork5857 for sure! I really want one. Amazing car for 32k.

I’m sick n tired seeing reviews of this car! Drag race it with civic now!

[@thetorquedork5857]

It's new everyone is getting hyped. I don't have anywhere to safely drag race in my area or I would take you up on that. Can't wait until someone starts putting these up against the type R, GTI, etc.

Veloster N ftw

[@mi1stormilst]

Veloster N is certainly the first and it is smaller and lighter. This car is an ever so slightly refined version of that with more space. They are both great cars!
