2025 Hyundai Elantra N DCT - MPG Test | Real-world Highway Fuel Economy & Range

[@seb5945]

4:00 that blind Merc backing up probably cost you 0.1mpg.

[@paytonlefevre3519]

276 hp sports car getting 30 mpg. Can’t complain with that.

[@Unseen_rouge]

The sonata with 311 hp gets a bit better. 34 MPG for a bigger more comfy car.

[@edwardgrant69]

@@Unseen_rouge Sonata nline has a 16gal tank. And the sonata does not have the handling characteristics of the Elantra n. Sonata nline has an open diff. Which means it won’t hook well from a dig or handle well in the corners compared to n. So yea nah. Sonata is def a good cruiser. But the Elantra n is a great COMPACT sports sedan

I like that you do a tach shot!

Great video. I just picked a '23 N DCT up recently. I was a little hesitant going in knowing the fuel tank is over 3 gallons smaller than my outgoing Dodge Dart 1.4T, but been pleasantly surprised at the dual-personality this car can demonstrate. I can hoon about in the city and merging onto the highway in Sport/N mode, and then chill out with Eco mode and the exhaust quiets down, the transmission prioritizes higher gears sooner, and yeah if you set the cruise between 70-75 that seems to be the sweet spot to get 30+ mpg. I'm looking forward to the next time I take a long trip from here in Indiana back to my home state in Illinois to see how good she really does w/o stopping.

[@n-power-automotive]

I’ve averaged 28 MPG overall in suburbia and highway mix over 37,000 miles in my ‘22 DCT. For the performance you get when you want it, it’s pretty dang amazing.

[@Eugen-E]

It would be interesting to see more MPG tests like this with older cars too.

[@coop.6047]

I get 6.6 L/100 or 36mpg in my 22 on the highway

[@DavidTMSN]

What phone mount are you using? Thank you.

[@isaacvl95]

Hey, will you test the volvo ex30 harman kardon?

[@TheUnreadableUser]

To be fair, this isn't the most efficient 2 liter from Hyundai, it doesn't have the smartstream thing and is the bigger Theta II instead of the more efficient Nu. It's also a really good performer, so you can't complain about 30 ish mpg.

[@aluisious]

How do you figure a 2 liter Theta is bigger than a 2 liter Nu.

[@TheUnreadableUser]

@aluisious ones built for efficiency (nu) and ones built for performance (theta II), they can push much more power through the theta without resigning a bunch of stuff, making the cars cheaper to buy

[@BicBappy-u9o]

That's about the same as I get on my Kia Stinger GT. I get about 29, but I'm sure if I drove the ideal speed, I could kiss 30

[@aluisious]

Your "3 click method" is just pushing fuel into the EVAP system of all these cars you don't own. If you're using the same pump each time, 1 click should be enough.

[@DailyMotor]

I disagree. An errant splash or bubble could cause the pump to shut off early on one of the fills. I'm much more concerned about consistency than the small chance that the vehicle, which exists explicitly for testing purposes, sees an EVAP issue. If it were really that terrible for the car, there would be a warning on the filler cap. But realistically, general public are going to do this and worse to their vehicles regularly.

[@TopGear759]

My 25 N DCT said I was getting 37mpg ended up meting 34.6mpg

[@autobox9809]

this thing did worse than the X3 M40i you tested... pretty crazy for a car with over 100hp more power and 1200lbs heavier

[@ianweiner8430]

The DCT EN gets insane gas mileage when cruising at about 80-85 due to the 8 speed in ECO mode, I have personally gotten 48 MPG over just about 500 miles of all highway in ECO at those speeds. These cars suffer so bad in less than 60 MPH drives.

[@fj06carnone]

It's much much more likely you miscalculated, than avged 48mpg at 80+mph. It's literally not possible. And what do you mean suffer under 60mph? Every mph over 60 is hurting your mpg. City isn't lower bc it's slower, it's lower bc it's less consistent.

[@ianweiner8430]

@@fj06carnoneI can promise you I calculated it out correctly using my actual distance traveled and then dividing it by the amount of fuel put into my car, these cars are much more efficient running at 2-2,350 RPM as well

[@Shawnjohnsonallthewa]

Elantra n requires 92-93 octane per hyundai

[@wantsanewvehicle]

Nice, but you won't get anywhere near that if you're driving it hard haha. I had a 24 hour test drive on an elantra n manual from carmax - put just shy of 150 miles on it. I drove it like I stole it the whole time, but I went through a whole tank of gas and then some in that time lol.

[@aluisious]

Did you have a 24h test drive, or did you buy then return the car?

[@wantsanewvehicle]

@aluisious 24 hr test drive

[@TheN.F.I.channel]

Bro is skipping songs at half point

[@gladdy02]

I still find it odd that my 3.5L V6 Accord from 2014 gets the same fuel economy (or slightly better) then a 2.0 turbo. Except I can go way further on a tank (17.2 gallons).

[@Unseen_rouge]

Mostly comes down to 2 things transmission and differential. Sporty cars have shorter gears and diffs for a "more" sporty feel. Take the Sonata N Line, bigger engine with more power and it gets 4 to 5 mpg more.

[@aluisious]

@@Unseen_rouge It's also compression ratio and other factors influencing thermal efficiency, as well as tires.

[@matthewr.33]

Theres no difference in the sound system, it's literally the same package, inside the same car.

[@matthewr.33]

Lol I get 9.0L/100km. I'm suppose to get 7.7..and im only in an nline...I'd much rather have 9.0 lol more fun
