New 2021 Hyundai Elantra Review // North American Car of the Year!

[@Bar30nb]

Honestley, I really want to see this channel with more than a million subscribers!

[@andreaspencer9813]

So do we! Thank you for this, we appreciate the support. :)

[@leegifford2942]

I've had 5 Elantras in almost 30 years and not one problem. Lucky, I guess. Loved them all including my current 2017 GLS with 64000 kms. I personally would not have a problem buying another.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you for this, we appreciate you sharing your experience. Happy to hear you haven't had any problems.

[@grizzybear9111]

lol yea right old elantras were horrible

[@johnnydwyer4261]

I became a Hyundai loyalist because of this car and its reliability. And we are talking about a 2000 Elantra that I bought from a friend in 2004. When I bought it the car had 67,000 miles on it. The reason I got it was because my car that I bought brand new ( Chrysler Sebring) kept landing in the shop. I needed a vehicle to get back and fourth to work as I had a 41 mile drive to and from. Anyways that Elantra was fantastic. It just kept going and going. When I bought the car I sunk around 1,200 dollars into it getting tired and a complete tune up. After that the ONLY things I've ever had done was routine maintenance. I still had that car in 2014 which then had 164,000 miles on it. I didn't want to, but gave the car to my brother who was in need. That Sebring was shot at around 40 000 miles, spent more time in a garage than on the road. Ask people who OWN a Elantra, not people who own its rival. I have owned Hyundai ever since, and loved everyone that I had. Currently have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan that I been trading in for 2 years. Now I can't seem to let go of this car beings I love it so much.

I like your honesty. I think most of Asia would agree with her. Elantra is perfect uber ride :)

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

Glad someone else has noticed every 18 months the design has changed. The major problem with changing everything so frequently is you loose resale value, and if you get into an accident getting replacement parts must be horrendous!!! Love the content guys great work !!!!!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you very much!

[@quikxfl]

It would be that difficult to get parts since they use the same parts pool as Kia. I agree with the redesign frequency but where's the balance of fresh vs stale, e.g. Toyota, Lexus designs and Acura before this year's refresh

[@c-square7375]

Didn't take long to go past 150K subscribers. The hard work and ingenuity is paying off. Congratulations. What a good thing that people have many good choices in the reasonably priced segment. The styling of the new Elantra is not totally disassociated form the previous generation. The lines have been exaggerated and stretched. In terms of reliability of Hyundais, one answer: 10 year warranty here in the US (less in other places, but still longer than most).

Thanks for reviewing the 2021 Elantra. I test drove it a few months ago and I was absolutely blown away with how much its changed and improved. I love the digital gauge cluster and the infotainment system being connected together. The interior is fun and its pretty peppy when you need quick bursts of speed. I currently have a 2012 Hyundai Accent and of course I'm looking for my next ride. Love watching the videos😊😊 keep it up.

Your comment about your son not liking to drive made me smile. I couldn't wait and got my license at 16. All of my nephews don't really care about cars or driving. As long as they have their phones and gaming consoles they're happy. The two of them both waited until they were in their early 20s to finally get their driver's license. Different priorities with this generation.

[@johnnydwyer4261]

Also ONLY HATERS would ask such a stupid question about Hyundai/kia/Genesis changing there vehicles look so often. That question came from a Honda/Toyota/Mazda fanboy. We Hyundai fans LOVE that they do it. When we buy a new Hyundai/kia, we are thankful it dosen't look the same as the person's car who bought theirs 8 years earlier. Who DOSEN'T LIKE IT, is Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Chevy and there loyalists. That because they keep getting the same old look. And the Manufacturer's hate it, because Hyundai keeps forcing them to all make changes in order to keep up. What you should be saying if you're a fanboy of one of those others, is THANK YOU HYUNDAI. Because of you my Camry or Accord no longer looks like a old peoples vehicle. Thank you Hyundai for forcing my brand to copy off you and give us some of those safety features in the cheaper trims. Thanks Hyundai for making your mainstream vehicles feel and look so much more luxurious, and now forcing my brand to COPY.

[@carfan7725]

[@kellingtonlink956]

I have to say; you guys have changed (some of) my opinion/s on this latest Hyundai offering. I find it to be quite impressive on the interior, and the exterior looks pretty sharp, too. But what really caught my attention was ... it’s price (esp. entry-level). This may be one of the best deals in Canada. That is, of course, if it doesn’t catch on fire. Thanks for another entertaining video.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Very well timed video, as Marketplace just released their Hyundai video (fires) yesterday

[@andreaspencer9813]

I love the value that Hyundai offers. In this car in particular, I love the use of the fabric. In fact, I wish more manufacturers would offer an all fabric option on their highest trims. However, I am not a fan of digital gauge clusters, or, in this case, the overall futuristic design that Hyundai has adopted. My pick in this segment is the Mazda 3 sedan. It is such a beautiful car, inside and out. That’s why last year we traded our 2018 Elantra for a 2020 Mazda 3. There was nothing wrong with the Elantra, but we wanted something that looked and felt better.

After comparing the interior room between a corolla hatchback and the elantra, I decided to get the elantra as a daily runner. And my truck is starting to show it's age. The price for these types of cars hasn't changed that much since the last compact I owned (2002 cavalier). There is only a $3000 difference between the two of them (I still have the window sticker of the old cavalier as it was my first new car I bought). Now if only the price of pickup trucks changed that much over 19 years, but nooooo their prices jumped $10000-$15000 over 9 years. And thanks for your input on the elantra, it helped give me some good insight into the new elantra's. The elantra model I got is the base with the 6 speed manual. Cheers from NB.

Zac, you might have pointed out that this CVT is a chain driven CVT rather than a belt like the competition. This design is typically used in bigger, more expensive vehicles. It's good!....for a CVT.

[@mowcowbell]

I've driven this same drive train in a 2021 Kia Soul rental. I found the combo powerful enough for highway cruising, and the transmission performed better than any CVT I've ever driven. I was driving in winter temperatures near 0F (-17C) and the drivetrain performed well even under these extreme conditions.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

I think it looks like a more extreme Sonata and a bit like a Kia K5 on the side. It's more interesting than the old model. Inside, it's a bit different than the Sonata but a similar esthetic to the Sonata and Palisade. Well done.

[@psewgobind]

If you like GenX Civic, worth waiting for Gen11. If they bring back 6MT and K-series engine, the party continues! Hyundai design theme for their SUV/CUV line-up is spot-on, better then the premium brands. Kona EV had fire issues for 2020, but they're back to selling it for 2021. I also own a GenX Civic Sedan with base engine and it's a completely different animal compared to CVT version...you can actually take it to the race track and get the occasional BRZ/GT86 to let you pass.

It's too bad buyers are bypassing compact sedans for SUVs (less so in Canada), they offer so much value for the dollar, are roomier and more sophisticated than previous generations.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Great value for sure and a really fantastic drive.

[@ahsanmalik1013]

I bought Jetta but tried Nissan Qashqai for few days. I can understand why SUV have certain appeal. If you are single, then hatchback is the way. If you want practicality, then SUV is the way to go especially when you have kids. That is why I was impressed with Tiguan and it's rear leg room, headroom and cargo capacity. Even VW Taos, presumed to be bigger than compact but less bigger than Tiguan long-wheel base, is only 0.8 inches apart on rear leg room. Cargo capacity is bit compromised but the headroom is amazing and so roomy compared to my Jetta. Plan to upgrade my Jetta into SUV soon. Practicality wise, SUV trumps sedan and fun-factor, it is hatchback like Golf. Personality I would go with gti if you are single. So that singles out sedan; however, as long as USA exists will remain superior over hatchback.

Problem with Zack’s point about design is that no one is buying a Hyundai to be seen in a “Hyundai”. They want to be in a car that they like the styling of. This is true with most Hondas and Toyotas. Their designs change drastically every few years too and when they don’t the comments are they are boring, old looking, etc.

In this class of cars, which of these brands have the most head room & leg room for all passengers? Hyundai, KIA, Toyota, Honda, or Mazda?

This is kind of digging a bit lol, but I have a theory about the thing on the left. On Hyundai's first cars in the US (and I assume Canada), the Excel, if you didn't get an option...there'd still be a button there but you couldn't push it. Like, if you got an Excel without AC, there'd still be a button there but you couldn't push it. Maybe that's an Easter Egg to that?

[@bcluett1697]

With sharp angles in the door design I'd worry about door strikes in parking lots, there is a ding on the bottom of our Edge's door but at least it's low out of sight lines lol. Maybe they will sell a rubber strip for it but there's not a lot of places to stick one. If someone taps the center of that door with a truck's door edge that's going to look like origami.

I have been wondering about the "blank" while I checked out in the showroom. I guess this design is as polarizing as its exterior styling.

Maybe polarizing can actually driven customers away from SUV to sedans. Who knows?

My 2017 elantra has 130k miles n shes never left me stranded. My 2021 is so spacious compared to the 2017 and my gf 2019 civic.

Wait till Canadians watch yesterday's CBC Marketplace episode. Will they still want a Hyundai?

I own a 2015 Elantra GT. I got it used 5 years ago when it had 46,000km on it. I have 93,000km on it now. I only had a couple of small warranty issues with it and replaced the battery in December (minor). I know of a person who had a 2010 Elantra who drives 80km to work and goes back to his town. He had 400,000km on his car before getting a new Elantra Sport 2 years ago. Like most auto manufactures, some vehicles have problems hence all the recalls. Auto manufactures have been getting increasingly sloppy. They are building them too fast. I would be a bit weary getting a 2021 of any make as most of the auto plants were shut down for a while because of covid. Dealerships are still waiting for new stock to come arrive.

I believe designer of hyundai must be a samurai. All the hyundai vehicles has sharp edges like samurai sword. 😄

Hey, I love your reports and Andrea is so elegant. Funny that this car is Car of the year in North America. In Western Europe small and compact sedans even do not exist. ( except a bit in Spain and NL). The market is on hatches and even them are declining and declining while SUV's are rocketing. Bises depuis Paris.

Thank you so much, really happy to hear you are enjoying the content. Awesome!

[@carlosmachado-sd8il]

I think its way too overstyled and the design will not age well

[@eduardr4536]

This version looks good. Love the N-Line. Waiting for the N version.

[@georgekostician3229]

Those thinking of buying a Hyundai should watch the most recent episode of CBC's Marketplace.
