As a 23' Elantra N owner, I think the new design looks great just not my style, the new wheels they have are the best part for me. The front end is giving 2024 Prius, not sure if anyone else sees it. At the end of the day they're both sick cars

[@sotiriosnovatsis4529]

The ‘24 version looks amazing, especially in that black colour. However, I think it has become a little too generic looking. One of the things I love about the ‘22 model is that it looks super aggressive and very unique; it really stands out and says “I’m a race car and I’m here to destroy you”. Too many cars try to be ‘safe’ in their looks so as not to be too polarising. But the ‘22 doesn’t do that. It tells you outright that it’s built to kill.

[@porfiriato84]

And it's also hideous. Sorry, you can dislike the 24 all you want but they basically improved what the majority disliked, the front end

[@phizix5023]

[@n-power-automotive]

Very nice comparison! As a 2022 EN owner I’m glad I don’t like the refreshed 2024 EN as much since I won’t feel pressured to upgrade to the latest and greatest. The only things I like better on the refresh are the black forged wheels and the refined suspension. I haven’t driven one to know just how much better the suspension is, but one of my biggest gripes with my 2022 is how harsh it is hitting potholes.

[@nprform]

Lol, I just watched one of your videos! I prefer my 22 over the 24 styling, but I do like the new wheels. That was a miss for the 22/23 owners. As far as the suspension, I haven’t found mine to be all that bad. It’s a big improvement over my wife’s Veloster. It was unfortunate I didn’t get more drive time to really compare the new suspension and steering updates. The car felt very similar to how mine drives, so I feel the updates, while nice, may not be dramatic. Even with my wheel spacers my car dives well. I keep the suspension in normal mode.

[@n-power-automotive]

@@nprform oh nice ha ha! My suspension isn’t horrible by any means, but the heavy OEM 19s didn’t help with the impacts. I definitely prefer how it rides with my 18s now, but I do miss the look of 19s. I was thinking I bet the lighter weight 19s might be the perfect middle ground.

[@Symphoniics]

The 24 exhaust revs definitely sound a bit less full. Is the idle exhaust volume quieter on the 24 too? It was harder to hear the idle rumble on the 24 but it could’ve just been the mic angle

[@nprform]

Yes, the idle was a bit quieter. My wife followed me in my car, while I drove the 24, and she said should couldn’t hear the car as much as she normally hears mine. Also she noted she didn’t feel the exhaust in the seats as much when reving the 24.

[@nprform]

Another thought about the exhaust, it could be slightly detuned, similar to the Veloster manual vs DCT exhausts were. My wife did a resonator delete on her DCT Veloster, which then gave it a sound more similar to my Elantra. With that said, a resonator delete could help with increasing the sound, if someone wanted more sound. Also, a resonator delete is very inexpensive. All in all, the Elantra N still has one of the best sounding OEM exhausts. The Jag F Type’s exhaust is still my favorite, but that’s a much more expensive car and has a larger V6 or V8.

[@Symphoniics]

@@nprformThat is actually very disappointing to hear. The loud idle rumble and aggressive deep revs are critical to my desire for an EN. I’ve got a deposit on a 24, but this makes me much less excited about it. Really hoping the break-in period will make it louder and deeper

[@nprform]

@@Symphoniics I think you’ll still be happy with the car. Again, the sound could change over time. Plus, a resonator delete could help as well. We paid $100 to delete the resonator on my wife’s car and it definitely changed the car’s sound without being obnoxious or droning.

[@Symphoniics]

@@nprform Yeah, and I may very well consider the res delete, but one of the biggest selling points of the car was that I didn’t need to modify anything. Enough power and sound straight from the factory. I’m not gonna fret too much tho. I’m sure I’ll be happy once I am sitting in the driver seat

[@diegoheredia9106]

Would you say the amounts of pops and crackles including the volume are the same on the 23 and 24 or have they been decreased on the new one?

[@nprform]

The pops and crackles seem to be the same in amount, but not in the overall volume/loudness. Also, I did notice the exhaust, when downshifting, was not as loud or intense. Overall, the exhaust seems to be different. This may be due to issues in certain states (California) or to be more tame for a larger audience of buyers. I don’t know the answer but it’s different, not bad.

[@shrimpgordita]

Does it do that in every mode or just sport/N?

[@nprform]

@@shrimpgordita The pops are only in sport and N mode.

will a bov and resonator delete void warranty?

[@nprform]

Any modification has the potential to void the warranty of the part of the car it replaces or attaches to. It would be highly unlikely that a resonator delete would void any part of your warranty. The same would hold true for a BOV. If the BOV was faulty and the dealership found it lead to additional damage to the vehicle then it could lead to a denial of a warranty claim. It depends on the issue, the modifications, and dealership. Also, because you have a modified car doesn’t mean your entire warranty is void, it means a warranty claim could be denied, due to a particular modification.

[@andywiththen]
