2024 Hyundai Elantra N 6MT Full Tour & Review

[@jonttran1092]

I drove the dct and manual car back to back. The dct is a little quicker in a straight line, the dct shifts quicker and keeps the turbo on boost during acceleration runs.. the NGS button is a cool feature. manual remains the more engaging drive for a purist and may prove the more reliable transmission in long term.

[@technicallycars]

Thanks for commenting this really useful info!

[@diegoheredia9106]

@jonttran1092 Did you notice a difference in the exhaust between both the DCT and Manual in terms of volume and amount of pops?

[@Jmarzx]

@@diegoheredia9106good question

[@Live.drones]

@@diegoheredia9106manual is louder with more pops. DCT farts a lot more.

[@chipattack912]

@@Live.dronesis there a way to tune the popping out? Personally think it’s noticeable fake and sounds cheesy

[@LordHeisinger]

I have a 2024 Black EN DCT and it is a dream to drive. I flew out to Atlanta to get this car. The local dealers were selling this car before they got to the lot. I got lucky and found one with in minutes of the dealer putting it out on the web. Flew there next morning to get it. 600 mile trip back and I got 42 MPG in Eco Mode, which I didn't expect because the sticker said 23/24 MPG. On normal in Eco, I get 29/30 MPG in normal driving. The car is still very quick and sounds good in Eco and if I need some extra speed, I just hit the N button on the steering wheel. I am doing a bunch of custom mods, which i cover on my channel. I plan on taking it to the drag strip to see what I can do too.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Awesome story, thanks for sharing! Everyone has great things to say about the ownership experience of the Elantra N, we're glad we had the chance to feature it!

[@f8widescat392]

Traded my widebody scat for this exact one with the manual. I saved money and having more fun

[@PRNTestDrive]

Glad to hear it! Hyundai really has something special with their N Cars, giving people fun, daily drivers at an affordable price. Not to mention relatively fuel efficient too.

[@terrancemoore496]

That Red they have is dope too.

[@PRNTestDrive]

I’d definitely get it in not black.

[@martinelantraratedn]

Blow off valve makes it so much better and intake i love mine!😊

[@technicallycars]

Oh man this with a blow off valve would be cool!

[@martinelantraratedn]

@@technicallycars go check mine

[@PRNTestDrive]

Good mod for it!

[@dusandestanovic5884]

It looks good and wild, especially in that spec.

[@technicallycars]

The black paint really grew on me throughout the week!

[@PRNTestDrive]

I think the Performance Blue is the perfect colour combo with these N Cars.

[@evertonschefer]

Amazing review bro. Thanks

[@technicallycars]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@PRNTestDrive]

Glad you liked it!

[@rolexer]

Just bought the cyber gray dct. Love it.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Congrats on the purchase, you're going to love it!

[@panglingaow]

How much did you buy for because over here in California there's a 8K markup

[@rolexer]

​@panglingaow tried to charge me 2k markup but I said no and was sold to me at msrp. 2nd car I purchased from the dealer.

[@MajorAddiction]

Besides the face lift, this year also got new forged wheels which saves 8 lbs per wheel iirc.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Unsprung weight is actually improved by 33 lbs total with the new rims, so pretty much 8 lbs per as you mentioned.

[@Ahmeds]

Love the review and I can’t wait to go test drive one. I’m probably going to trade in my Dodge Challenger SXT for it.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Both Victor and James loved this vehicle, and we've heard nothing but great things from other journalists also. You'll love it!

[@omellemmor4732]

Dammit, this car looks so sleek and handsome, and you thought only the sports cars and Civic Type R are the only ones that are good looking

[@PRNTestDrive]

Hyundai did an excellent job on this one!

[@19hundoc47]

I’ve owned multiple Type Rs and and Elantra N, the R is the better car but the N is more fun. It’s a really good car and I can’t wait for the next gen EN, should be even better. The things the EN does better than the R: seats, stereo system, exhaust

[@PRNTestDrive]

Thanks for sharing! It's great that Hyundai has decided to get into this type of market. It's in no way a volume seller for any brand, but having more affordable, enthusiast-grade vehicles is great for everyone.

[@vjd222]

The seats and stereo are both better by a good margin in the FL5. Just about every review of the CTR talks about how they're some of the most comfortable seats in any car. And they are. I'd have to stop to get out in the EN on roadtrips fairly often, but can sit in the FL5s allll day. Not even close on comfort. They also both have a Bose sound system, but the EN only has 8 speakers vs 12 in the R. But I'm sure both are better than the FK8s system. The EN's exhaust blows the Rs out of the water for sure though.

[@God0fPie]

One problem I have with this car is that the inside of the windows always gets dirty because I drive with the windows down all day to hear the exhaust haha

[@technicallycars]

haha this is real issue!

[@PRNTestDrive]

Definitely a good problem to have!

[@scott21784]

best sports car for the money

[@PRNTestDrive]

Really can't go wrong with it!

[@terrancemoore496]

Bump that 10 horsepower lol, the 6 spd is where it's at.

[@PRNTestDrive]

True enough!

[@dannyphamous]

Great fun car and value. I'd be willing to get one if improved mpg or had a hatchback/wagon option. I'm typically not interested in sedans. I prefer hatchbacks, coupes, and convertibles.

[@PRNTestDrive]

A wagon would be awesome!

[@omellemmor4732]

And its pretty clever for them to adopt a similar font style that of the "GR" from Toyota, with the "N" design, The people that hate Elantra N and Hyundai in general are those JDM elitists that think only Japanese brands are seen as the "it" in Asian cars

[@PRNTestDrive]

True enough!

[@KoreanAmericanLawyer.NewPortBe]

Nice

[@PRNTestDrive]

Thanks!

Does the 24 N solve Octane Learning? Have a 23 and it drives me up a gd wall.

[@garycasper4671]

nope. it’s easy to get it but hard to keep it.

Sounds like its the same as the 2023s.

[@kellyaustin7487]

@@technicallycars I wonder what it actually costs manufacturers to install them in every vehicle? It doesn't seem like much. 🤔

[@kellyaustin7487]

@@PRNTestDrive I know right. 🥵 It just seems like it should be a standard feature even if you don't get the USB plugs. At the very least a couple of ac vents.

[@satomelon68]

Why don't reviews of the Elantra N ever include the octane learning that needs to be done with every tank full to achieve maximum boost. That's a deal breaker.

[@19hundoc47]

It’s not a thing in the manual version. My EN hit 18-19 PSI the second I left the gas station after full fill ups

[@Michael-hx6ls]

technically, 15 PSI gets you the advertised HP. 18-19 has hit 300Tq and 300hp on my gauges lol(I own the DCT). It's probably doing more power than that because it maxes at 300 on the gauges

[@damienfrizzell9394]

Deal breaker 😂 just tune it out for 500 Bux

[@PRNTestDrive]

💥💥

[@Live.drones]

Even a piggy back will get rid of the octane learning effects.

[@terrancemoore496]

Wait a minute do you Canadians get a Sunroof with a 6 spd model? Come on man! Hyundai can we get that in the U.S. Not all of us can afford the DCT model.

[@SethKnows]

Eh if you can afford the manual version, you can afford the dct. But the manual version will always be my choice, sunroof or not.

[@PRNTestDrive]

The rare time we get slightly better offerings up here.

[@tonycutillo2512]

If you can afford the manual but somehow not the DCT I would suggest not buying this car as you are about to make a serious financial mistake.

[@terrancemoore496]

@tonycutillo2512 why you say that? Have you purchased one? Thanks for the advice

[@davidpark2509]

This look better than any bmw or benz

[@brhardi48326]

​@@davidpark2509 headlights are a definite improvement but it still looks bad, and worst of all it manages to look bad from every angle. Hyundai needs to fire their entire design team. You can just tell this car, and almost every new Hyundai/Kia is not going to age well. 5-10 years from now its going to look even more ridiculous. Kia Stinger still looks nice after nearly 10 years but that was the last good looking korean design. Genesis are all "meh". It's a shame because they are putting out some really decent cars for the price. That's Hyundai/Kia/Genesis biggest problem is that every compliment you can give to them always comes with the disclaimer ".... for the price". Im not a fan of German cars especially the newer ones , their styling is moving in the wrong direction too but people with money will always pay for an M badge or AMG. N badge still has no respect or recognition.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Looks and styling will always be subjective. What you like may not be what I like, or James likes, or Victor likes. Hyundai may not make vehicles that work for everyone, but we appreciate that they take chances with their vehicle designs.

[@prasvasu4217]

@@PRNTestDrive He has a point, nice front fascia, nice back fascia; but unnecessarily busy with the lines which is the reason I prefer the darker colors. Granted performance blue is unique and the white paint is good, but three tones and too much emphasis on those lines in the front end. And what is with those triangle indents in the side (on the door)?

[@abc456f]

​@prasvasu4217 I think black hides those lines on the side pretty well. I was liking the grey but now having seen the black, that would be my choice.
