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

[@cityboyjuice]

The day isn’t complete without a post from the raiti’s

[@r3games1985]

💯

[@emancebo13]

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

[@LuisUrbieta]

Loving the new Hyundai Elantra N-Line & even though it looks cool on the outside I feel like the interior should be a little bit nicer but, it's not meant to be a luxury car, it's supposed to be sporty.

[@OmarValencia-xo1is]

For being $2k less than civic si I think this interior is slightly better in terms of looks and tech but civic has better materials in my opinion but it’s the price you pay for $2000 less

[@LuisUrbieta]

@@OmarValencia-xo1is Yeah

[@MultiChimRichalds]

I have an nline and the interior is on point for the price really. It's easily on par with Hondas of a few years ago imo.. the steering wheel is one of the best I've felt in any car I've driven.

It all melts away when you're carving corners.

[@ericpadilla2454]

@@matthewr.33 yes. the way this car drives is amazing. Interior is fine. We cant nitpick here lol

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 😅.

[@astrojack2381]

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🤪).

[@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.

[@r3games1985]

Finally. I love that you could fine one to review Joe. I still say this is the best bang for your buck performants at $30K. BUT if you can pay a couple more thousand you can get the outstanding GTI. I did.

[@RaitisRides]

This is so very true!

[@youcangetsum6871]

I love the look of the new gti I just can’t get past the infotainment 😢

[@markrodz2633]

was a honda boy since high school. Not going to lie I would choose the 7speed DCT elentra over an Civic Si as a daily. Not to mentione this face lift on the N line look really good.

[@michaelthomas5140]

That fart exhaust had me going 😂. But at least it’s good on gas, I like that they have the dct but I agree with Joe on the manual in the Civic Si.

[@donteadoss]

Dope spec … and love it even more in the Exotic Green color 🔥

[@mr.w6023]

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

[@RaitisRides]

That is so fantastic! Congrats on your new Elantra!

[@davidp2888]

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

[@ranthony2714]

Looks good. The only things i would change is the addition of an lsd, soft touch material at the top of the door panel and a cushioned arm rest on the doors.

[@jsandy44]

That’s why you buy the real N. This car is for child’s play

I got to test drive a '23 ELantra N-Line when I went to get my Kona N-Line and I almost got that instead. It's super sporty. Anyone who gets this I feel is going to have a great time.

[@RaitisRides]

[@tomdrummy4984]

I’m either the 3rd or the 37th 😁. Thanks Joe !! 👋

[@RaitisRides]

You’re always #1 to me Tom

[@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.

[@derekbenoit10]

For the price I think the new version looks amazing! Had the Sonata N-line and absolutely loved it. Great job Hyundai.

[@tinhinnh]

you loved it but don’t own it anymore? 😁

[@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.

[@noob.168]

Hope you're able to get a Kia K5 GT w/ GT1 package to review when it comes out this spring. Love the refresh video you did in Chicago last time.

[@dominickirkwood]

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

[@jimmypham2487]

I loved that intense blue color

[@nicholasmatthews5989]

A great review. Regarding 16:50, interestingly in Australia the 2024 Elantra N-Line (known as i30 sedan N-Line in Aust') comes with rear A/C vents in both the base model and the Premium model.

[@matthewr.33]

Man that would be nice, they don't in Canada. Does it have Ventilated seats???

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

[@karmahunden]

Some feedback on the new POV Drive style. I think the 0.5x zoom out if a bit distorted. Try bringing it closer to a 1x so that we can truly see POV. We dont need to see 180 degrees of car all of the time. Just my two cents.

[@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.😂

[@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.

[@diw.824]

The blue color looks so good on the car.

[@godzilla7391]

Nice to see Hyundai still being competitive. I put 141k on my Genesis coupe 3.8 with some light mods (headers , intake, exhaust), and shes been very reliable. I alway kept up with the maintenance. Had it walnut blasted to clean the carbon out due to the direct injection. I also ended up buying a new 2023 Elantra N DCT last year and love it! Hyundai gets a bad rep imo. Keep up the maintenance and you will be fine

[@longtruong5422]

The Hyundai ELANTRA N Line has the advantage in the areas of interior volume and base engine power. The Honda Civic Si has the advantage in the areas of reliability, resale value and overall quality score.

[@borisramirez6083]

1.5t engines are having head gasket issues. I wouldn’t call that reliable.

[@gavin3188]

The exterior of the car is nice, the infotainment screen is another story, and when you were revving it, I didn’t like how it sounds like it was hitting something 😮

[@devinlee3501]

Thats funny lol, I was just at Crown Hyundai shopping around for an Elantra N last week

Just put a deposit down for one of these in black! Would've loved the full N but cost + wait time was just too much

[@RaitisRides]

Trust me I totally understand where you are coming from.

[@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]

When are the full N supposed to come out?

[@nowhere529]

The full N is very difficult to not get in trouble with.NLine more sensible choice.

[@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

[@petermolloy6]

I’m looking to get a Elantra N but damn they are hard to find, even the 22 models

Keep at it i was finally able to get one. I looked on google where there are being sold then called the dealership and they happened to have one on the way already

[@DrZoomer]

I have a 22 N Line, and I love the redesign. LED headlights and the interior changes are a nice upgrade, but $2000 price tag increase isn’t great to see of course. I don’t like the new wheels though

[@TheBigb1973]

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

[@RaitisRides]

This is so very true.

[@luisarreguin2202]

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

@Raiti's Rides good review as always. Question, I'm looking forward to buying a new car and trying to find out which car is better for in terms of driving experience, technology and for the money.

​@borisramirez6083 so a base version of the n??

@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 No. N line and N are two different trims of the car. There's Elantra SE, SEL, Limited, N-line and N. N-line and N are the turbo engines/sporty versions of the Elantra with the N being the top of this line. The original poster probably has a base model (SE) based off the descriptions he said were missing.

Just me, or are the shades of the Lucid Air in the front end redesign? This new N-Line may beat the Civic Si in some areas, but I’d still take the Si over this. Then again, I’m biased. I’m on my fifth Honda product. ;-)

[@idohearthatersdgk]

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

[@nah3193]

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.
