The 2022 Hyundai Elantra N Is A Serious High Performance Sport Compact Sedan

The #HyundaiElantra gets serious about performance with the first-ever #ElantraN. The 2022 #HyundaiElantraN is powered by a 2.0L T-GDI 4-cylinder with up to 286 HP with the choice of a 6-speed MT or 8-speed DCT. It goes on sale at the end of year and we expect pricing to be around $33,000.

Hyundai should be announcing pricing by the end of this month. We’re guessing it will cost around $33,000. What say you?

[@pwd1134]

That's the highest number I've seen for starting price by far lol. Prior, the highest I've seen as far as an estimate was that it was going to start around $30,000. Other sites have said it might even start cheaper. Either way, it's severely undercuts the Golf R price-wise (over $10k), and smokes the new Civic si in specs. Even the GTI doesn't quite have the specs of this car. Also, how in the hell Honda thinks it's still a good idea to have two dedicated civic trim levels that do not offer automatic transmissions is beyond me. They do not offer an automatic on the SI or the type R. You can get an automatic in the Golf R. Hell even the new WRX's latest top level trim only comes with an automatic. Honda is kicking themselves in the ass by not offering an automatic SI. I have literally purchased two brand new cars in the last 10 years, and they both would have been Civic SIs if they offered an automatic. Whereas now, Hyundai offers automatics on all their N cars. You can now get a DCT Veloster N, a DCT Kona N, and a DCT Elantra N. Good move by Hyundai. I'm about 99% sure I'll be going with Hyundai for my next car.

They're somewhat scarce. I just purchased one about a month ago. Cyber Gray. It's in the shop getting a bunch of new audio equipment installed. I really love the car.

Yep the Mazda is much more about luxury feel and touches. Unfortunately the 2.5T engine and transmission is really not appealing to enthusiast alike. The engine has a lot of midrange power but falls completely flat on its face which isn't ideal for hard driving. All the A6 needs a few extra gears for harder launches and quicker shifts. But there is no denying the 2.5T engine and A6 powertrain is a great alternative for luxury branded cars. So smooth and nice.

[@CranberryApple600]

I like the design, love that front end with the black grill

[@Dragonmaster5250]

If they offered this car with with the front grill/styling of the Veloster N, it would be a day 1 purchase. The front end on this thing is just so damn bad.

[@wannabegolfin24-72]

Get it in black, maybe?

[@zadman49]

Does it come with smart cruise control?

[@AarmOZ84]

Hyundai and Kia's winning formula: Find the best automotive designers/engineers in the world, pay them ridiculous amounts of money to work for them, and let them pretty much do whatever the hell they want to do. That's how you end up with a Hyundai Elantra N.

[@trstnhn]

No, that's not how simple the automotive world is. In fact, no industry is anywhere close to being that easy and straight forward. The star signings are just a few of the many ingredients that makes a dish shine.

[@danielbuchanan5327]

Just noticed the “N’s” in the wheel design… niiice touch!

[@mikehunter1483]

No reviewer has explained what that circle thing is on that piece of glass next to the gauge display. Odd….

[@JustinKelly]

There isn't an official function except in the N Line model. That is where the drive mode button is.

[@Alexander-nz1dz]

In the Redline review (I think, maybe another reviewer) they expected to put stuff there for the N model, but ended up just fitting everything on the digital dash instead

[@MrCheesypuf]

Seriously interested in this car. Hopefully the supply chain shortage doesn't affect the launch too much.

[@blueridge8992]

I’d love to say I’d consider this versus the Civic SI when I buy my next daily driver but unfortunately our local Hyundai dealership has a 2 star rating on google and everyone I know has some friend or family member with a horror story about brand new cars with major defects, denied warranty claims, or devastating depreciation with Hyundais and Kias. It’s a shame really. I love the idea of this car but I just couldn’t talk myself into spending my own money on one.

[@frf1670]

This competes against the civic type R. Not the Si lmao. This will run laps around the Si. Good luck getting one it will be a rare car

[@MrFrankieMatarrese]

Hyundai/Genesis is regarded as MUCH more reliable than Honda in recent years. Also luckily if you happen to get a defect, you have a 10 year/100k mile warranty.😂

[@lizardgreen2121]

Just order it online from the dealership

[@hamsterbrigade]

@@lizardgreen2121 they're going to have to go to the crappy dealership for maintenance. So it's just kicking the can down the road.

[@edwinrodriguez8319]

Loved the Joe Raiti cameo 😅

[@LostWon]

Hyundai has done incredible things but I’m waiting on the new awd GR Corolla or the 2022 type R. It’s all about reliability in my book. Great video!

[@nothere572]

Hyundais are reliable

[@LostWon]

@@nothere572 So are Honda and Toyota but they retain their resale values and have a much longer track record of reliability.

[@soulstance]

@@nothere572 Yep Hyundais are as reliable as most Japanese counter parts. This thing looks fantastic

[@ThinkBeFree99]

@@LostWon so u wont keep the car?

[@LostWon]

@Soul2Top Apparently you aren’t capable of reading properly. I wrote, “GR Corolla”. Look it up on KZbin and stop the 🧢.

[@RobHTech]

This car is awesome. But, have they fixed the Theta engine problems? And, what are the engine internals? It uses MacPherson strut style suspension up front. Type R has double wishbone. Is it reliable?

[@AnonAnon-qi4ts]

Civic has been struts up front since 2002.

[@JaguarRVP]

Cool car.. waiting on the Tessy tho

Excellent camara placement so we get a real good look at the rear view mirror..

[@redenbeltran3433]

Love the Elantra N - more excitement out of the box than the failed humdrum Acura ILX/Integra reveal.

[@kagoatleonard4019]

ILX😂😂

[@vagabond1776]

Man, that exhaust note is glorious! I’m liking everything about the car except the exterior design…not my cup of tea. But for the price, you can’t go wrong with this alien-looking street fighter.

[@Ray_Stark]

I wish I had gotten my Mustang to sound like this.

[@lostthenfound3160]

I’ve had the 2017 sport for years and love it. Looking to upgrade to the n. My sport still gurgles and backfires.

[@bachbui]

I didn’t expect this car to have that much plastic in its interior

[@whitemailprivilege2830]

It’s still an Elantra

[@Terror1Void]

Don't need fog lights anyway. 99 percent of the time on a factory vehicle, they're only for vanity. Low beams show the foreground just fine.

[@nintendoatarikiller]

So the Civic Si is pretty much dead on arrival

[@tonychau1983]

It'll be fine as always

[@omairsh8]

The Si competes with the N Line. The Type R will compete with this

[@turquoise8669]

Damn I click on the video fast 8 mins after good review 👍

[@sirprince888]

Great review! Would love to see you do an in-depth review for a side-by-side comparison between the Elantra N-Line and Elantra N. I have the N-Line and am disappointed about the Elantra N's back seat... why no arm rest, back seat vents, or USB charger? Oh well. Which Elantra would you choose for value and features? Elantra N-Line vs Elantra N?

[@1209MArky]

Your sacrificing creature comforts for performance. Pretty easy e Decision, less performance more comfort on the N line or vice versa on the N.

[@jordanbailey8022]

Would you recommend the Elantra N over the GTI? I'd throw the GR Corolla in there, but that's going to be next to impossible to get...

[@jowowetan]

It looks like someone just rear ended this car.

[@siddheshrane]

Hyundai is killing it. I used to hate Elantras but this one is so sexy and feature rich. And it sounds great too! Definitely a good car for college kids
