2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited Hybrid: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@GaryTBuffalo24]

Hyundai has really stepped up their game. This is a sharp looking car and well equipped for the price.

[@WTFCRLT1]

It really does give you the best of all worlds!!

[@jennaduvall2060]

For Hyundai to be able to sell this car for this affordable price, they have to save money somehow, that includes not using the best materials. It’s still a great car and has amazing features as well as good looks. So please cut Hyundai some slack, there is only so much they can do.

[@meathead240]

I disagree it isn't lack of best materials it's because they produce their own material in south korea

[@charlesworton4020]

Thanks for a great review! When compared to the non-hybrid Elantra, a driver who drives 12,000 miles per year can expect to save about $50 a month in fuel costs (exact savings will vary, depending on fuel costs in your area). Over the life of the vehicle, that $50 a month really adds up; in fact, it makes the hybrid the cheapest Elantra you can buy. You get all the luxury features of the Limited trim effectively for free, because of the fuel savings.

[@raselharfe9018]

It's hard to beat 5 years 60k miles b2b warranty, 10 yrs 100k power train warranty, 3 years nation wide maintnance and all the safety features that HYUNDAI offers, can not go wrong....

[@dennisalexanderreilly8624]

This is one of the best car reviews I have ever watched. You pack so much information and detail per second, I almost couldn't keep up. You made a new fan.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Glad you like it man thank you! 👍🏼

[@SaberusTerras]

I've had mine for about 2 months. Most days I get 50+ mpg no matter what, my personal record so far was 63.3 mpg going to work. Amazing how just a small battery can massively affect fuel efficiency. I love this car.

[@user-mb8rf7qk5q]

Got the exact same one in fluid metal and grey interior. Daily I’m anywhere between 50-62mpg. I absolutely love this car, it’s a dream.

[@Aku112811]

the limited trim? How comfortable are the leather seats ? I’m 6ft3 thinking about this car

[@SaberusTerras]

@@Aku112811 The seats are extremely comfortable with a wide range of adjustment options, and heated/cooled. There's plenty of travel for the front seats, and the car by default runs the seat back to a pretty generous distance to get in and out. I have to stretch to hit the brake when I press the start button to turn the car on. This setting has an option to push it back even further, so someone 8 inches taller than me would have no problems, I think.

[@user-mb8rf7qk5q]

@@Aku112811 I have the limited. It’s super comfy. Very roomy even if you’re tall!

[@memphis407]

Same, over the 2,000 miles ive owned mine ive averaged 50.8mpg. Some times im running behind and im being aggressive and only get mid 40'smpg but then there are times where im getting close to 60mpg

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

This will be my first Hyundai sedan to own. Good job with your content as always bro.

[@kp3362]

Thanks for the review! Purchased mine less than 48 hours ago and already love it. The few small things I don’t love, I can deal with. For $30k, brand new car, higher trim, you won’t get a $60k car with all the bells and whistles but you’ll get a solid and reliable car. Your video helped me make my decision. One thing I don’t remember see is you go into the trunk and lifting up the mat for the spare… I gotta check that next time I go to the car. Other than that, good job on the review!

[@1283Stevo]

Same here. I got tired of paying $1200+ a month in diesel on my lifted 2021 ram 2500. I love my Elantra. It’s so fun to drive and super comfortable.

[@microtransactions2661]

Does yours have the heated steering wheel? I was reading somewhere that it was available on the limited trim could be wrong though.

[@sukhdhaliwal1175]

Is luxury model is also limited?

[@3030hp]

what is your actual MPG?

[@alfymo]

I have the blue and I'm enjoying it now that it's broken in. Felt really sluggish at first. Love that it came with gloss black rims. No amenities in the back and the $6k of course influenced my decision to get the blue. Would have been nice to have the limited tho.

[@marksamuel5347]

Can't wait to get mine! Ordered it and should be getting it by July or August of 2023 (10 month wait) I'm getting the Luxury 2 tone edition and this white is the colour I ordered! Thanks for the review just makes me more enviable!

[@usamasaid2860]

You must be aware of the distance you choose on the radar system it must be on level 4 to have more safety but it works fine

[@kens97sto171]

Been renting a regular SEL trim Elantra. I have put 1300 miles on it in 5 days City HWY mix. Car seems to over estimate the MPG on the computer. But I am getting 35-40 MPG actually measured. That is better than the EPA number. The Trim makes a difference.. heavier bigger wheels.

[@aamilfarishta1408]

Is it confirmed that the 2023 Hybrid Limited has digital key 2.0? I’m thinking about buying but my purchase might be contingent on iPhone key compatibility

[@cdeep4548]

The arm bar can be intrusive for certain activities 😉

[@jaeydawolf]

Which would you choose, IVT Limited or the Hybrid Limited and why?

[@Condemn-Focus]

I bought a 2023 Hyundai Venue Limited I'm happy with the purchase.

[@alontzur5349]

Did you notice any difference in handling and ride quality between the wheels sizes? Blue comes with 16 and Limited 17. Thank you

[@terry-zi7eh]

Great review! That - in a ⭕️ left of the instruments is a sport mode button in the N-line DCT. I drove a 6speed and it had that same mystery-dash but I saw a DCT and there was a mode or sport button. The N-line manual was a blast except for some rev hang. Love your channel!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Ahh okay thank you for the clarification and thank you for the kind words and support!!🙏🏼

[@whyjerrywhy]

It would have been great to use that space for the hybrid tachometer

[@rith2757]

Just got a 2023 Elantra Hybrid. Great car all in all. One thing that bothers me (and prob just me, cuz Im a nitpicker lol) is they removed the LED brakelights the 2021 model had and it is now incandescent. The actual taillight (part that glows when headlights/parking lights are on) is LED but not the actual brake light. I feel with a bit more investment, Hyundai could've made the entire rear (brakelights, turn signals, reverse lights) full LED like the front. Regardless, great car!

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

That's an easy fix. Just switch out the bulbs for aftermarket ones. You can't have it all in an economy compact car!

[@rith2757]

@@jraheemjefcoat429 Well yeah Ik its an easy fix but its kinda annoying since most other manufacturers give you full led. ik most ppl prob don't care lmao but I'm a guy who cares about how the lights look and whatnot haha.

[@jay8360]

Revving engine should only applies to the cars you don't expect to save gas. For HEV and PHEV, you should try how quiet the engine sound is from inside.

[@Offensively-normal]

Thanks for checking out all the cars for us. You save us a bunch of time and a lot of gas. This car may not set any records at the Bonneville salt flats, but it will get you there cheaply enough. I almost like it. Just a few things would put it over the top. Most were mentioned during the review. I guess it's the old cliche you can't have your cake and eat it too. The issue is when I think of a car being a limited trim I expect more. This would be better described as deluxe. I'm hopeful they will loose the room divider someday. This is a nice affordable hybrid that will sell well getting that kind of milage at that price.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Well said man thank you for the comment! 👍🏼

[@Acepilot235]

One of my buddies told me you can't use the Bluetooth for music... I'm guessing that's bs? Because that wouldn't make much sense. Debating on whether or not I want a 2023 camry hybrid xse or the 2023 elantra hybrid limited.

[@kp3362]

That’s definitely BS. Bought mine yesterday and was jamming on the way home via Bluetooth.

[@jeffmorse645]

The adaptive cruise control should have "stop and go", but yours is not the first video I've watched saying it really doesn't work (or work dependably). I have stop and go on a Subaru Legacy and it does work, but to be honest I'd rather brake at a stop light and accelerate on my own. Just let the adaptive cruise do its thing cruising on the highway only.

[@jeffmorse645]

@@TCharlieA That's actually all I've ever let my Subaru do. If I'm approaching a stoplight and no one is in front of me I brake myself. I don't think it has any sort of sign or signal recognition.

[@GlennLaycock]

Limited up here they do not upgrade the tires as it effects the mpg.

My actual mpg on the dash display and what I calculate is totally different.

[@Gotrek65]

I was just talking to a dealership about that left side panel its apparently a side view mirror feature that is in the vehicles in Korean and I think the EU but the US doesn't have the legislation to support it so it's disabled in US versions of this car. Or my car dealership just doesn't know what their talking about after reading the other comments on it...

Me and service manager drove another Hybrid it had same issue. If your going to buy one check it out with cruise on. Oh, was wanting to trade due to the small jerking.
