[@whitneyallan8508]

I have been researching this car for months and you are the first person to really go in depth with a lot of these features! Great video, thanks!

[@japerelectronics2568]

It's a great car. I have a 2022 Elantra Hybrid and don't regret it. I rented every car in the class. The prius gets slightly better mileage but the Elantra beats it in every other way (adaptive cruise and steering assist less jerky are the big ones but it also looks better). I would recommend the Elantra Limited trim package over the blue. It gets you a better LCD screen, leather heated and cooled seats, better sound system and safety features.

Fantastic, this is exactly what I was looking for. Bought a Elantra 2023 SEL c, and you answered every single question. I don't need to read the manual now. Thanks.

How to set autohlod to be turned on by default. I need to turn it on manually every time I get in the car

[@agrarianyeti8134]

Thanks, I never realized I had all those functions either. That was super helpful and I'm totally stealing your blue lights idea, so perfect. I absolutely love my 2023 Elantra.

[@jayjanetbeller]

What is that stupid divider for between the passenger seat and the center console? Seems like a grab bar for scared passengers, but looks ridiculous

[@valerieyancey45]

I purchased this car and he really made thing easier for me 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@Lessontobe]

Me too. I am still having problems with the up and down buttons on the right hand side of the steering wheel Maybe it is the way I am pressing them? Otherwise I really like the car.

[@rashidaryeetey6624]

Oh and also... If you happen to use the car's map for navigation in this model the compass page on the dashboard turns into directions for the driver to use and know when to turn.... It's pretty useful... You should definitely try using the map more ...

[@ITSSTOKESS]

Can’t you do that with Apple/android car play or is it more accurate on the navigation maps?

[@taemeister9302]

​@@ITSSTOKESSwhy not use the bigger infotainment scren i stead kf the phone or having to hook the phone to the screen.

what is the circle with the minus sign in the middle it's on some dashes and not others but yours has it what the heck is it...

[@zrohit]

The route on the map is very light, anyway to make the route darker ?

[@gigeo48]

just bought a 23 limited and learned more from u than the owners manual, much easier. great job.

[@taemeister9302]

Got the 2023 Intense Blue Elantra N DCT two days ago. This car is absolutely INSANE. I can't believe how quick this car is. It carves the corners like hot knife on butter. I love the inside of this car as well. The seats, the ambient lightings, the dash and info screen....everything about it. I don't care if the side panels have high-quality materials or not. I don't sit in the car stroking the doors like an idiot so i don't care. Everything i need and care about, Hyundai knocked it out of the park. I spent my 750 miles back home to Dallas by creating a symphony of burples to the delight of youngsters on the road 👌

[@alobowithadhd6191]

Smart drive mode acts as a dynamic driving mode and allows the use of the “Economy” setting. It prioritizes less aggressive driving at the cost of lower accelerator response curve. ECU also biases towards lower aggression accumulation, TCS limits acceleration to prevent loss of energy from wheelslip and Steering response is relaxed to reduce energy losses in straight lines. “Normal” mode is a balance between response and fuel economy. It provides more power and accelerator sensitivity. “Sport” waits longer to downshift, providing more time in the powerband and providing more engine breaking. TCS kicks in at a higher threshold, causing more potential to slip, but more power to the ground. Steering and accelerator response curves are more aggressive, providing more control with less movement. “S” on the shifting column allows quick access to sport mode when you need it. It does everything that the Driving Sport mode does, just temporarily through the gearshift. You can go between “D” and “S” at any time, but when in manual mode, you need to shift to “D” to get access to “S” mode again. It is useful when driving in Smart mode, and you need an immediate boost in power. Smart mode uses the driver’s cornering habits, acceleration input, and other factors to determine what the driving conditions are, and adapts economy vs response vs performance. It is horrible when trying to go from a dead stop to highway speeds, due to it trying to hang on to Eco for as long as possible before it realizes you need power, so it switches to normal, and the response curve change in the accelerator makes it think you are flooring it, so it switches to sport. That is why the “S” Shift mode is available, so you get power when you expect it. “+” and “-“ are your Manual shifting modes, they are useful when going downhill or uphill in the 1st or 2nd gear, though others can be used. The car will automatically downshift if the RPMs drop too low. The car should also prevent you from shifting too high and stalling, but will only automatically upshift if the engine redlines.

[@christopherhernandez2434]

U have no idea how smart mode works😂 it only switches to sport from Eco when your driving to slow while merging and it senses your going to slow if there is a car going faster than u so u don't get rear ended cutting people off driving to slow.

[@alobowithadhd6191]

@@christopherhernandez2434 I’ve done research and testing. The only thing that needs updating in my previous comment is that the S mode on the shifter stands for both Sport and Shiftmatic. Sport mode is active when you go from D to S. It shows up as S on the gauge cluster Gear indicator. Shiftmatic mode (I’ve also heard it called Sportmatic) is active when shifting from S to either + or -. It shows as the current gear you are in.

[@3bood408]

11:40 how do i save the settings.. everytime i turn off the car and i open it again all the settings gone nd i should make it again so how do i save it?

[@reelremixx]

lets talk about that sunset tho.. sheesh

[@Smiles14075]

Excellent video! You saved me a lot of time trying to figure out where everything is 👍

[@joanneevangelist9110]

Fantastic video, helped so much as I’m a new owner of the 2023 Elantra SEL convenience package. Have had it about 2mths. No issue till yesterday. My car is parked in a lot all day, yesterday was hot, got out of work, car play wouldn’t work or the cord. Have you come across this issue? Today it works fine but a stranger thing is, I push radio and nothing happens. Before yesterday everything was great. Really not an issue with the radio as I don’t use it. But since it’s a new car I thought I’d ask. Also as summer is coming am I going to have an issue with my car play cord not working cause it gets too hot? Again wondering if you or anyone have had this issue and if so, what have you done. Thanks in advance 😀

[@onlythemessenger280]

They have to incorporate all these features because people are getting dumber and need safety measures 😂😂

[@taylorwilson8903]

Love the video! Great content and information! One question tho, is there anyway to switch the tachometer and speedometer positions on the dash display so there are on the proper sides like ever car I’ve driven? (Tachometer on the left and Speedometer on the right) and if not have you noticed it or has it bugged you at all?

[@chrisscanlan8819]

I just got this car and wondered the same thing!

[@travelbug8244]

Hey man, great video! Did you notice a slight lag on the touch screen? You think that's just how it works Or it's a default?

[@MrSerg562]

Bruh that sunset is amazing 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@christopherhernandez2434]

The smart mode is for merging. if it senses a car coming faster than your speed merging into the lane it switches to sport from eco mode so you wont get rear ended. Yes this car is smart af. The sensors on this car are impressive.

[@mannymedrano3208]

How did you change the radio layout? 8:28 My radio doesn't look like that in my 2023 elantra SEL.

[@ITSSTOKESS]

Is it a sel convenience package?

[@briebaby414]

What is the circle on the left of the steering wheel for?? Is it for a phone mount 🤔

[@joanneevangelist9110]

I was wondering the same thing. Have you ever found an answer?

[@Quagmire71006]

It is an open space that you can use to mount a cell phone to. I don't recommend it, I've tried it twice with 2 devices and it fell both times. Better off using the wireless charging mat under the AC controls and in front of the shifter. Soooo more or less it's a free place to do with as you wish.

[@scotthartgrove3316]

you did an awesome review on all of the functions - I just recently purchased this exact car and confused by all of the buttons lol I always like using the apple play as well

This was helpful, thank you! Though the A/C ventilation system is weird to me because I can’t seem to get the air flow position right in mine. I just recently got a 2023 Elantra and I’m still getting used to it. Mine though has an old manual parking brake lever instead of the button option that you have..which I’m kind of jealous of. Can you do a video showing how to install a front license plate safely on this model?

[@debugdan_]

Are you sure you have the SEL convenience model? The convenience addon is supposed to include an electronic parking brake, which is activated by pushing the button instead of a normal manual lever. If your car has a manual lever, then are you sure you have the same model?

[@ladyb1113]

So there isn’t a feature that it beeps when you are reversing into a parking spot? I know it beeps when something is behind you on the side.. but not if you are backing when you are near a wall?

Is there a difference between the sport mode you go into by shifting to drive, then left, and the sport mode you choose from between smart, normal, and sport?

No is just simulates fake shifts smart mode is best when merging if your driving to slow and someone is driving faster it automatically switches to sport mode from Eco so u dont get rear ended.
