What It's Like to Live with a 2024 Hyundai Elantra N DCT (POV)

[@johnnyturbo8460]

The reason Elantra N's DCT doesn't clunk when slowing to a stop, is because it doesn't shift to 1st until it comes to a full stop. Even at 5mph, it will stay in 2nd until you stop or accelerate hard. 😁👍 I have had my 2024 Hyundai Elantra N DCT in the same Cyber Grey as your car, for a month now and LOVE it!

[@palebeachbum]

That's really smart to design it to behave that way. I wish they had considered that with the 6-speed auto in my 2018 Elantra SEL. That thing shifted excessively around town and clunked a lot.

@@kwillee93the N offers a lot and sounds so good 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@n-power-automotive]

I’ve been using my 2022 Elantra N as a family car for over 2 years now. I personally don’t find the cabin that noisy at all. I’m in Tennessee, so it gets super hot in the summer, and neither of my kids have ever complained about it being too hot in the back. There are no center vents, but there are vents under the front seats, so cold air does get back there. Mine came with a cargo net in the trunk that works perfect for groceries. It’s a great family car that can transform into an entertaining track car at the push of a button. I love mine!

[@forceuser609]

It’s all about perspective to me, if you come from a truck/suv or an older car the N will sound quiet, but comparing it to a Lexus, bmw etc the road noise is a bit much

[@MilesPerHr]

Good notes as an owner. There are almost always workarounds. My point about the vents was more like "if they're ducting the air to the underseat vents, how much more could development cost to run it to vents in the console?" Road noise just stood out to me since I was in a Camry (similar budget/size) and Accord not long ago, and both were noticeably quieter.

[@DragonKnightX12]

@@forceuser609 Really more about relevance. If compared to the cars it actually competes with like the Civic Type-R, WRX, or GR Corolla, it's probably a very similar level of noise.

[@lordasmodeus69]

I have a 24 DCT Elantra N in Australia (just called i30 Sedan N down here). I don't get why they didn't put the rear air vents in, in North America. (Seems that Canada don't get them either.) We get them in our cars (and in Korea. And probably in other places). Not like they have to do any extra development/engineering work. I guess they saved $50 not putting them in. Dumb choice in a daily family car.

[@n-power-automotive]

@@forceuser609 I 100% agree with your assessment. It does depend on what you’re comparing it to. I previously had a Dodge Charger R/T and an Accord Sport 2.0T, so I was expecting an Elantra to be extremely noisy, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was comparable to both of my previous cars. In fact, my Accord had a very annoying wind noise whistle at certain speeds, but nothing odd like that with my Elantra. If I came from anything on the luxury end, of course it would seem loud, which is exactly what you’re saying. 👍🏻

Highly advise against that. If you’re saving close to 40 thousand just go for a used m340. Crazy quick and reliable and way more tunable. Will definitely hold up its value a lot better too

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

​@@hamzakdesh400they are 2 totally different cars. The Elantra N handles, steers, and feels WAY better. It's also a much larger car in terms of interior room and comes with a 10 year 100K warranty. M340i is a good premium car but it's only good in a straight line. It's steering is super vague and offers zero communication. It also weighs 500lbs more and doesn't handle as well. Sure it's fast in a straight line but if that's all I wanted I could just buy a used Model 3 Performance for 35K and run mid 11s in the 1/4 mile.

If you liked this you need to review the Sonata N line, it's my daily driver and between this and that the Sonata is a better family car while still having the performance of the N. From my testing even faster than the N, and it still handles surprisingly good. I have a catback, custom wheels, and a intake on mine, and it is such a fun daily driver. They both cost about the same as well, the 2024 Sonata N line is probably the most underrated car of the year so far.

Agreed, I own a Sonata N Line aswell, it is such a beast of a car, insanely quick, not many people know the punch it packs under the bonnet, I’ve had many hot hatches line me up and I’ve completely gapped them, the car is a FWD tyre shredding machine.

I LOVE these sporty sedans, I was loyal to VW and had a few Jetta GLIs but they are so far behind in power, technology and interior that I am no longer loyal to the GLI. I never thought of buying a Hyunday but this Elantra N checks all the boxes for the perfect blend of fun and daily, it just cannot be beat. The GLI is $34-$35k and I would rather have this for the same price over the VW, any day of the week. A used 2022 GLI is in the high 20s, a used 2022 Elantra N is holding 30s. And then there is that longer warranty, the end. :) Wait, I didn't think they come with a sunroof! :D

[@johnnyturbo8460]

As far as launch control. I just put mine in launch control, press the brake a bit harder than sitting at a stop light, and quickly roll into the throttle (not stomp), and it works great every time. I see some reviewers stop the brakes and hold it, and then stomp the brakes and it doesn't work. So again, try coming to a stop, apply a bit more brake than sitting at a stop stop sign. Then quickly roll into the throttle (not stop). It's more like a " 1 Mississippi " roll to floor. Good luck 👍 I do wish it had rear cup holders and even rear vents. (You can install rear vents. Another youtuber has) . You can buy a trunk net to hold items in the trunk AND side compartments for the trunk.

I just felt as a middle aged guy that this is too flashy and meant for the younger crowd, along with its really throaty and loud exhaust. It is why I didn't go with the GTI has hot hatches again really aren't for middle aged dudes. The GLI was just the right mix of being sporty and fun enough, fast enough and didn't totally look like a teenagers car.
