The 2024 Elantra N is the Best Sports Sedan South of a Civic Type-R

Only 15- 16psi.. its not octane learned. After octane learned its usually around 17-19psi. Makes a sufficient difference. My 2024 Hyundai Elantra N with the DCT easily and daily gets mid to high 30s Mpg fuel economy in ECO mode. Fantastic car for the money. Fun and economical in every way.

[@therealjulez7886]

came from a 2021 Veloster N, that thing was like a Go-Kart on steroids. Sold it in April for a bmw M240i.. still miss the lil go kart sometimes.

@@DriverJ-N The BMW is fun and all, but Hyundai's N cars are like little playful rascals, they have a personality, they want to be thrown around corners. BMW is still fun though, it just doesn't quite have the same personality

​@dominicg2456 but it definitely sounds like you are an Albert beirmann fan! Why can't they have hyundai N x BMW m instead of Toyota? Because then it's honoring Mister biermann. It's interesting that there isn't any car clubs or shows that have a crossover of these 2. Also gotta love the "bubble butt" of the veloster, which adds onto the personality of the car (and the 3 doors? No, velo owners would get sick of the 3 door jokes)

[@bjjbrawler1]

I test drove that same model... I told my buddy "it was like a go-kart" lol so funny. I bought a GTI for the functional 4 doors and interior was nicer.... but Veloster was a fun drive.

[@Woopsie-Do-kx9we]

Elantra N-Line would be the answer to Civic Si. Elantra N is more of an answer to Type R, WRX, Maybe GTI.

[@jasoniviejr.7925]

The biggest thing with the Type R/Type S is they are "Weight Bullies" in which they cost way more than most the segment and are the best in the segment hand down. But compare them with stuff in the price range like 2SS 1LE, Mach 1, M240i, M340i, 8V RS3, F8X M2, M3, M4, CT4V Blackwing.... Do I keep going? Reviews love to compare these cars when the N is 10K+ down in MSRP it makes me question why people do. Cause ive seen comparisons of FL5 vs the aforementioned options and man does the propositon really fall apart in all cases except the 8V RS3 cause that car does handle like the others.

[@morstyrannis1951]

I think the sheet metal on the sides is nicely done. But the rear end is far too busy for my tastes. Great video as always, Marcus

[@eblacksburg]

This is by far the best introduction of any Elantra N video I’ve viewed!

[@cameronparks3465]

I noticed the hood panel gaps on my car as well, from the side it looks like a sort of vent for engine heat. Maybe bad build quality but it’s the same on each side and seems functional.

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

no way that is designed to be functional nor would it even be functional lol

Can we please stop comparing this car to anything that costs 7-12k more...much less 20k more. Integra Type S??? Really?!?!

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

i mean isnt that a testament to how good the Elantra N actually is? why think of it as a negative thing, think of it as a positive

I love the way this car looks

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

[@Unicornpirate]

I think it looks hideous compared to a FL 5 Type R, GTI/Golf R or GR Corolla but that's just my opinion.

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

@Unicornpirate I love the look personally. But I find the type r, especially the back, over the top and the 3 exhaust pipes in the middle looks silly (the veloster called, it wants it's middle exhaust pipes back)

[@maoinc13]

Why people keep comparing this car to the boring Honda Civic SI ? There's no comparison here ! With the Honda Civic Type R thats ok !

[@RoadsUntraveled]

The Elantra N is much closer in price to an SI than a Type-R. Both manual, 5-seat, and FWD. It fits perfectly in between those two cars, at least from my perspective. In price and performance.

[@noahpike8274]

Just price tho. On paper theyre very far off from one another. Horsepower, tech packaging, engine size...only similarites are the ones you mentioned above. ​@RoadsUntraveled

I didn't know the MT came with a sunroof. Thought it was limited to the DCT for some reason

It does in the Canadian market, in the U.S it is limited to the DCT. The region-specific features are confusing to be honest. For instance some countries get vents on the rear console, some don't.

Both options are good, manual is more fun and engaging than the DCT for me.

Thats actually not true. Manual makes more power bc the dct robs the engine of 10 percent of power.

If the back of the car is not that ugly af🙄

[@motowhit]

It doesn’t have radar cruise control because it’s a manual transmission. The DCT has adaptive cruise. Not sure of any car with a manual transmission that also has adaptive cruise, it would somehow have to downshift or upshift automatically? Hard to do with a stick

[@RoadsUntraveled]

The Civic SI and Type-R 6-speeds both have adaptive cruise control. I believe the last manual Mazda 3 I drove also had it. The vehicle allows you to shift without disabling cruise control.
