I've been waiting a long time to be able to configure this on the website also do you know anything about the hybrids

[@TBradley2123]

How do you feel this car compares to the new corolla and civic?

[@ELP1125]

The Elantra interior is DEFINITELY a step above the Corolla and the Civics IMO.

[@macaron3141592653]

It looks better but the material quality is worse than the civic. Way more hard plastic which occasionally rattles and reflects more noise in the cabin. The grab handle is VERY cheap. The stuff you touch is still nice though.

[@LSR-YT21]

Reliability won’t be as good as the Toyota though.

[@priyanshjoshi7]

The weird separation between the driver and passenger seat is horrible! Hyundai’s are much more expensive to insure and still have a long way to go as far as hybrid technology is concerned. Toyota hybrids have been around since 99 and have consistently maintained their performance. Aesthetically speaking, obviously one might go for the Elantra. But Corollas top everywhere else.

[@Cbcarroll04]

When do you guys review the Elantra n line??

[@CarConfections]

We will keep our eyes peeled for one as soon as they become available!

I have a 2021 Elantra & Idk I don't like thhe new front design of this one tbh

[@omariondoyle1963]

Hi my grandma just brought the 2024 Hyundai Elantra sel and she got ambient lighting in her car

[@TheGabagoolGuru]

I think that is the worst looking key fob I've ever seen.

[@supertouring1]

The lack of rear seat vents is a real disappointment. It would have made the Elantra further starnd out from the competition. I thinking it shouldn't have added that much cost?

[@astronomicalsymphony59]

I feel the same way! Especially for 27k. I know this model starts at 23k but even for 23,000 vents seem like a no brainer. The Elantra is very driver centric. The only thing the passengers get in a little light on the ceiling, (now you get two type c charging outlets), the cup holders (new to the SEL model) and pretty comfy seats Tbf. I do think all the room is nice as well. Vents would have been the ultimate factor for this class of cars

[@solidwisdom8749]

I like elantra. Some of the toyota cars like the camry has remained almost completely the same since the 2018 model. This looks more elegant. Only complaint is the refresh look on the front facia i don’t like much, the one before this refresh looked better in the fronts

[@macaron3141592653]

That keyfob is AWFUL. The current one is the same shape and looks more upscale, but also WAY smaller. Why does this one need to be so big?

Hyundai over a Honda? Lmfao

[@tl_udigg4626]

Yes I chose a 2023 sonata over a blue Acura tlx a spec, bmw 335i, and a Camry xse white with red interior.

[@marcopolo-xj4yw]

Interesting design. Really don’t like that handle beam thing between the front seats on passenger side. What is the reason for it?

[@astronomicalsymphony59]

Here are two reason for the bar: “supposedly” it makes the cabin feel more like a cockpit with the devision between the passenger and the driver. The practical reason is the lack of powered seats. If you don’t have a trim with powered seats the bar is a good anchor to hold onto and pull yourself up to adjust the seat. I have a 2023 SEL and it’s something you get used to pretty quick. I’m a huge fan of what Hyundai has been doing and I really like my Elantra but the bar being plastic and creeking as you move yourself up really reminds you that you are not really in a premium car but a great value car with some premium features tossed in

[@cesarromero1536]

Why are car makers going with that ugly flat look? Just like the Honda Accord.

[@MOJUNKIE89]

Love my 21 SEL premium, wish they never took this trim away. But I may be making my way to the 24 limited or N line I think I want more power.

[@MrPootzen]

the console handlebar is such a strange design choice, and I can't say I like it.

[@rustybell5222]

Not in the way. Looks like a C8 Corvette. Gives passenger something to hold on to. I like it actually.

[@jeanvaljean1475]

It’s useful for sticks. In the rest of the world where we are poor, we buy sticks and when you go fishing with a big dude to your right, whenever you shift to 3rd and 5th you hit the guy’s left knee and that’s annoying. So it’s actually a genius feature. Number one problem drivers complain here is that the ladies cannot perform certain activities with the driver anymore.

[@TobyMichaelPortableTechReview]

Love the actual measurements for the cargo area! I just went to a dealership to measure to see if a wheelchair will fit.

[@BoopSnoot]

14:15 Looks good, priced right, but I can't see myself buying another sedan that doesn't have at least a liftback. Car trunks suck! Just yesterday we slid four 70lb server racks into the trunk of our SUV off a cart, and then back onto a cart at destination. Super easy with the very wide opening and flat floor right at hip level, in a sedan my back would be broken.

[@charlesworton4020]

Just completed a highway marathon in my 2023 Elantra Hybrid - at 80 MPH I routinely got 46 MPG, at 70 and slower I got above 50 MPG average for the tank. That was common. I love the Hybrid version, and I look forward to your review of the 2024!

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

I’m glad they finally added a sunroof and rear seat cup holders on the SEL Convenience trim! Hyundai really listens to their customers! Too bad we don’t get rear air vents like the Korean market. But at least for our market, we got rear USB-C charging. But I’m kinda scratching my head on why the SEL Convenience is $1000 more than the Limited trim? And will this new refresh get wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay OTA update just like the new 2024 Santa Fe? Overall, I’m loving the new front end sleek design and upgraded technology. Definitely a contender in my book!

[@Aaronduhmoron]

I believe it will get OTA updates, my 23 Tucson does and the Elantra has the same operating system. So I'm leaning towards yes.

[@Awsme]

We just need them to listen in Canada too. Still no cup holders in Canada it’s ridiculous

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

[@Awsme]

@@jraheemjefcoat429 ours goes Essential = SE equivalent, Preferred = SEL, Preferred Tech = SEL convenience, Ultimate = Limited and N-Line. We get robbed on our Preferred tech here, your sel convenience gets adaptive cruise, 17 inch rims, LED taillights, adjustable head rests, rear cup holders, etc. We only get all those things on our top trim and it costs more. You guys also get full LED front turn signals on every trim but we don’t even get that on our highest one it’s weird.

[@atadikohp9308]

After doing more research on the web, I don't trust the CVT transmission in this model at all. Huyndai is have many issue with the DCT and CVT transmission. Many techs said this type of transmission won't pass 7 years. This is why the Sonata series still using 6 gears transmission type. Break down transmission would cost you way more than what you you think you can save right now.

[@jackmemphis777]

why are you lumping in the DCT with the CVT? They are completely different. Not to mention there is a dry DCT and wet DCT

[@atadikohp9308]

@@jackmemphis777 I know that they are different. What I try to say is since Elantra convert from gears transmission to DVT then CVT, both of these types of transmission are junk. You can find out more info at the Consumer Reports site

Nice review. I have a 2021 Elantra Limited Hybrid and love it. I’m curious to see what changes are made to that specific model.

[@JT-fq2bl]

Everything we see on the video except the powertrain. I hope Hyundai give the Elantra/Niro hybrid the Sonata powertrain to keep up with the Prius for the next generation. The Soul and Venue could use the 1.6l hybrid to justify their existence and the Sonata can use the 1.6l turbo hybrid from the Tucson/Sportage.

[@sartonnis]

@@JT-fq2bl I wish they'd use that turbo hybrid in more vehicles. In Korea, Hyundai uses it in the Grandeur/Azera and Kia uses it in the K8/Cadenza, so sedan applications are definitely possible.

Looks good however, it is a different 2.0 lt compared with earlier Elantrs, before this CN7 generation. In Australia, we don't get the IVT as Hyundai calls them we get the Sorts Sequentai 6-speed auto which is a far stronger and robust unit. Fuel economy for us is 5.6 litres on highway and 7.6 city giving my Elantra or i30 sedan as we call them, 6.4 litres combined cycle. 50mpg highway, 37mpg city and 44mpg combined. These are great cars as you show but one thing is that the US-built versions suffered from pure quality control in the manufacturing of the drive trains. Ijn Australia our come from South Korea. The quality is excellent. Our version is what's called the Avante Elite in Korea. O-60mph for our versions, non-turbo is 7.9. The 6-speed gives good economy and performance. You guys do a great job on reviews and you can see you really enjoy what you do. Keep it up.

I have a 2022 Hybrid Blue model. In this base model, the driver’s seat has manual height adjustment. I think the SEL had electric controls. The grab bar mostly interferes with the driver’s access to the passenger foot area. I like to put groceries and fast food on the passenger floor and that bar is an aggravation.
