Is the 2024 Hyundai Elantra N-Line a BETTER new sport sedan than a Honda Civic Si?

[@kickstand801]

That colour. At first glance it's blue, then after a second look it's purple. Very mind-tripping😂

[@tygerrr_]

I have a 2024 Elantra in that color. It's not very purple in person, it's just a really deep and beautiful shade of blue. I can definitely see how it may seem purple though

[@joaopaulolemos6001]

Wtf.. you’re totally right.. I wouldn’t want a purple Elantra..

[@AL--4k]

its called Intense blue, i have the 2020 Elantra sport that now is called the N-line. same 201 hp and 192 Lbs/torque. 😇

[@marquesdean5075]

​@Brian_Eugene_LeeUnfortunately Hyundai discontinued the 6-speed manual transmission for the 2023 Elantra N Line. It's only available on the 2021 to 2022 model year cars. I have a 2022 Intense Blue 6-speed and it's a hoot to drive. If you want a manual you have to spring for the full blown Elantra N model and those start around $32-33K.

[@AL--4k]

i would assume the demand for manuals are just not there for Hyundai.@Brian_Eugene_Lee

[@emancebo13]

The front looks way better now. This refresh means business... Better than the Si Wheels look nice as well

Just bought one and am very happy with it. Very good for our family needs and can use those paddels to have some fun.

As someone who has the same blue N line but 2023, I love the improvements they’ve added and features they added along side the exterior facelift I totally recommend this car(am going for the 2024 N tho🤪).

[@svtman93]

I have a 2023 N-Line i bought brand new and have absolutely loved it. Just hit 25k miles. Stock for stock I can confirm it's quicker than the SI. The DCT is a little jerky in traffic but you learn to drive around it in a way. Really like the new face lift look, it almost looks like the previous gen Elantra N now 😅.

[@tedunguent156]

Cheap thrills. Nothing wrong with that at this price point. Looks good and has good features for the money too. Thanks for taking the time to review affordable cars for us, Joe.

Love the color, I'd go with different wheels if possible. Not necessarily shiny chrome, but something other than black.

[@jimmypham2487]

I loved that intense blue color

[@jefflass699]

Man, that Drive Mode button. Adds to the cheap factor. Should be on the steering wheel. And Hyundai needs to start putting their fingerprint scanners for other countries on the center console or something, so we don’t get the leftover, stupid blank spaces on the dash here in the States. At least on some vehicles it’s magnetized to provide some purpose.

[@getthecash2560]

Clean bold design, with the snappy performance to match. Balaced, sharp, and not just the look of it. Glad to see an auto maker not afraid to carve out a spot on lower-budget tier, yet be a prize to their owners nevertheless.

[@HiiImChris]

I want one in the exotic green color. I love green

[@andrewSUN17]

Love that color!

[@diw.824]

The blue color looks so good on the car.

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

Im actually a fan of the side panel of the Elantra. It is very Lamborghini-like in design. Very exotic and aggressive looking. Something different in a seas of blandness.

[@Fyahking619]

At first I was like, that blue is nice but it's too intense.

[@bobbyjones2112]

I’m quite impressed with it. It’s got a lot of safety stuff. I was reading about it on their website. I don’t mind hard surfaces plastic. It’s easier to clean than soft. Soft surfaces seem to be harder to clean for some reason.😂

[@jdmteggy2388]

Cost? The N isn't that expensive it's same price as last N .. the N is deff worth the wait trust me

[@crazymonkeydude10]

In Canada the N is $10k more expensive. Not crazy but when the interest rate is at LEAST 6%, it adds up

[@alex86devapath]

Well at least they did something with the hideous death star area lol. Its cool how they angle the infotainment center toward the driver.

The death star is still on the 2024 N not to be confused with the N line in this video

​@luisarreguin2202 what's this death star thing you are talking about??

[@luisarreguin2202]

@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 on the 15 minute mark on the left side of the steering wheel you'll see the drive mode button in the video. But look up the inside of the 2022 2023 and 2024 Elantra N and all you'll see is a circle with a dash through it and it does literally nothing

[@dreaperpurge6915]

Thank you for the review, I just got one, diggin the new look forsure!definitely an epic ride for 2024

[@FSAPOJake]

I hope next-gen they replace the 7DCT with their 8 speed auto like they did on the Kona with the 1.6T. I'll tell you what though - I love the design of the new Elantra. It looks really nice in-person, even in base trim.

[@RaitisRides]

We will see if they actually do that. I think eventually they will kill the N-Line off.

[@borisramirez6083]

Current 2018 Elantra DCT owner with 110k miles, Not sure how it is tuned on the 2024 Kona 1.6T but the 8 speed AT on a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe 1.6T just felt sluggish between shifting compared to the 7 speed DCT. Okay on a boring SUV but would be a downgrade on the Elantra N-Line. Just my 2 cents.

[@Awsme]

@@borisramirez6083the 8 speed auto on the 24 Kona NLine feels sluggish too, not as good as the DCT

Weird how Hyundai can put DCTs in lower end cars but Honda still uses CVTs cause they’re cheap. If my 22 civic had a DCT it’d be a monster. The tuning community would go nuts but then no one would buy an Si or maybe they should have that option for the Si/type r

You can compare it to a Civic SI but realistically you're going to pay $10k more for a used SI with 60k miles on it. The SI is a great car that nobody should buy at the price they go for.
