2023 Hyundai Elantra N-Line: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@manuelsantiago2736]

Got mine about a week ago. I love the way it handles especially around hairpin turns going about 85. I love that on the highway I can get up to 100 like it was nothing and some. The n line is definitely a fun car to drive and definitely spacious for my family of four. It definitely turns heads and right now I've noticed in the only one in my city with one lol

[@Trevmister234]

I got mine almost a week ago, I have no complaints. For the price and what it is, its a super fun ride. It looks impressive inside and out, I went with a metalic color so it doesn't look as dirty all the time. I definitely recommend it!!

[@lanesworld4000]

I've been loving mine. It's not a hot rod, but it's more than enough to make it "Fun to drive " It rides nice and handling is good, especially when you upgrade your next tires. Most daily driving is limited to speed limits and traffic. 200-250hp in a compact is just about perfect for most driving conditions. Great inexpensive compact. I also like the Civic Si, but it's expensive AF.

Hope you continue to enjoy the car! It’s pretty sweet 👍🏼

I’m glad that they added the larger radio screen and the digital gauges for the 2023 model year on the n-line. I always thought that in 2022 the fact that the n-line had the standard analog gauges and the smaller 8 inch touchscreen made absolutely no sense especially for the price you were paying

Just to let you know the N Line Elantra is very underrated by the factory. I have a 2022. I had a 2017 Veloster Turbo that I recently sold that I bought new and sold with only 35,000 very well maintained miles. With my race car driving bff driving my 6 Spd manual Veloster before I sold it. We ran it side by side just to see how the Elantra would perform. Well it was no contest, the Elantra bit*h slapped my Veloster by 2 cars! Elantra wheels getting ample wheel speed and then gripping the hot pavement I used it’s double sport mode and paddle shifted it to it’s shift limit. I admit that the smartstream has the advantage with having both VVTi and CVVD making not 195 ft lbs but instead 204 ft lbs of torque. Similar to the N 2.0t makes 276hp on the wheel dyno! Not to the crank! That’s like it making 310-320hp to the crank on the 2.0t. So if they are under rating the N then I would say to assume the 1.6t is probably under rated also.

[@sammichaels3757]

So the back windows don’t go up automatically? You have to hold the button up? My 2012 Volvo has all 4 automatic and I’m in the habit of pulling up on all 4 and just having them all go up automatically.

[@29roadking]

Comparing this 2023 to my 2021, I’ll keep my 2021 lol. I have the manual with summer tires. Big differences I see are the gauges. Mine came with the analogue gauges and I love that. Nothing against the 10.25, but I’m a purist. One thing I wish they continued was the smoked black rimmed taillights. Aside from the twin pipes and diffuser, the back just looks like a base Elantra with the bright red taillights. One thing I did was upgrade all my exterior lighting with LED’s. Backup lamps, turn signals, and headlights. Projector lenses are nice, but they wash out with halogen bulbs. I noticed the difference immediately at night and didn’t need any adjustment. I just wish it didn’t have such bad wheel hop when I dump the clutch. Aside from all that, I definitely plan on holding on to my Electric Shadow N-Line for a while lol. Amazing review on the 2023 though!!

[@slow_rednline4874]

They just halted production. I bought a 23 n lime 3 days ago..I only got one key fob because of chip shortages

[@ryanbennett1532]

We’ve got a 23 N-line and a 10th gen civic Si coupe; I really prefer the motor in the N-line. Less turbo lag, better interior overall (more cheap plastic though). Steering is way better in the civic Si, very little feedback in the Elantra. I’m torn on the DCT; not the smoothest just around town (my parents have a Santa Cruz with the 8 spd DCT and it’s significantly smoother) but it does shift quickly under power. The Si is really let down by rev hang which basically ruins the driving experience even as a manual, and while a tune does get rid of a good amount of it the motor and clutch really can’t handle much more boost. The LSD compared to the open front diff in the N-line is one of the more glaring differences though; it really will push through a corner on gas and light up the inside tire, while the Si just pulls you through the turn.

[@Specialist7]

Nah, last time I went to Brandon Hyundai they didn't want to let go of their $2,995 add on package. Played price game with my trade in undervaluing by $6-7K and passes off to the manager, says you're getting a even better deal and increasing it little by little. Tells you the car is there available on the lot but is not so you can check out their other models. Ended up getting an EN under MSRP else where and selling my car to CarMax for more than I paid for last year lol. Other than that great review! the update gets the N-Line some N vibes. It's odd they kept the N logos, usually they make it clear what's N and what's N-Line, now even more to confuse dealership saying they have N/N-Line on the lot lol. For the price though I think the Forte GT2 is a bit more of a complete package, though you do lose out on the all digital clusters which some may or may not prefer and you do get the MT option on the GT.

N-Line is the trim level. In Canada it's the highest trim only under the N. There are no options available for it. Canadian models get more features than US.
