I had to laugh right away hearing nothing but the sound of the turn signal. I remember growing up, riding in my grandmother's large sedan (don't even know what make/model it was) and that was the only sound we'd hear...no music! Decades later and that's me, driving around deep in thought and in total silence. Still pretty young but I've become my grandmother in that respect, ha ha.
Every time I drive my Elentra2023, similar in colour with the one on review I feel that I'm driving a car . Thanks Hyundai for engineering my car of Choice . God increase you
I bought this car, the 2023! I love it so much. I have the white colour and the Luxury trim. I chose the two tone interior and it is gorgeous. It has a sporty look and feels sporty when driving it. The technology is all there and the price is great!
My wife picks up ours's on Friday. We wanted a white one with the gray leather seats, but we quickly found that no Hyundai dealerships in and about our state have any. We ended up buying the Limited that is an electric shadow color with black leather seats. We are excited to see it and finally get it as our own. They gave us a loaner Elantra base model to use until we pick up the car. It is black. It is really her car, as I am retired and mostly don't drive all that much except trips to the hardware store and local grocery stores or such. We are indeed excited about this vehicle. We traded in our 2013 Honda CRV, which served us for years with no real issues at all. Hoping this one will do as well. I was surprised to find that the white paint costs $500 and the other colors cost nothing.
1:13 The problem with this car and most other cars in its segment is the lack of interior quality. Yes from a first glance the design feels luxurious and looks fancy, but it is entirely made out of cheap plastics. And you know what happens to those plastics during cold winter or hot summer days? They rattle loudly and inconsistently. Those connection points tick and buzz when the sun warms them up and unlike in previous year models, there is ZERO insulation between the metal and the trim pieces to cut costs. Great review btw!
Its a 23k vehicle! Who is it that you know that sells vehicles under 25 k that ISN'T plastic everywhere in the cabin. Ford sells 75+ k Expeditions that has cheap plastic everywhere. And also Hyundai sells far superior vehicles built with reinforced steel at there respective price points over ANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS.
I have the 2021 Hyundai Elantra SE trim and I gotta say it’s all the same.Hyundai really did a good job with 2021-2024 Elantra I can’t wait to see what they do next for the elantra’s
Saw the grey metal one on the road today with windows tinted (not too heavy). It looked really clean and modern. Now I’m looking for reviews of the car on youtube
I have the exact car. Fluid metal with the light grey interior. Hybrid limited. Here’s my review : AMAZING. A blast to drive, so smooth, badass, interior feels very modern and sexy with the led strip. Infotainment is great. Camera is great. And I’m getting 58mpg solid. I can’t even believe this car is THIS GOOD.
I just bought this car and I LOVE IT! I went from a 2012 Nissan Leaf to this and man is it beautiful!!! The ride is very smooth and I love that I can easily switch from “normal” to “sports” mode. I’m a small girl and I can handle this quite well. Driving this car makes me feel like a NASCAR driver 😂
@@jonathans4503 I moved city’s so my commute went from a 20 to a 40 minute drive. Since the electric car was a much older model the battery drained pretty quickly, plus the cold and driving up and down mountains did not help at all. It was great for my first car so definitely can’t knock it!
Haha right there with ya, got my own back in September and absolutely LOVE IT! before then I was driving a 2004 Santa Fe that used to be my moms and it was passed down to me when I first started driving and recently passed that over to my younger brother which was perfect and always wanted a sedan/sports car style car and welp I got it in the 2023 Elantra and it drives so sooo smoothly! An absolute recommend for anyone wanting a car that's not too big or small and has the right amount of torque and smoothness.😁
Great video.. My only gripe is that I wish you differentiate the trims and features of the car, to help clueless viewers who don't know what this car offers. For an example, the SEL trim has 2 packages. You can say this particular SEL has analog dash and 8 inch screen. But can UPGRADE to the SEL Convenience to get a full digital dash, 10.25 inch screen, heated seats, leather wrap steering wheel, and 17 inch alloy rims. It help viewers to understand what this particular trim offers. And I know you had reviewed different Elantra trims in past videos to know this. But educate those who don't know. Don't make it seem this is the ONLY feature the SEL offers. Then someone buys it because of your video review and didn't know there's another SEL package trim that offer better tech and interior layout.
Yea I have the sel convenience package 10 free oil changes 10.25” screen and much more so I was little confused when he didn’t mention great comment by you to clear the air 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I have the exact same vehicle, when I step it on if feels like I’m in a spaceship going like 80 mph compared to the other cars I’ve had. It’s a good economic car overall!
Got the sel conv pck phntm black with the siler wheels. Its gorgrous snd smooth. The limited was a bit pricey for just leather seats and untrrior lighting and other small items that weren5 performance related. Love all the drive support systems that make it feel so smooth.
I bought the 2023 sel with convenience package in October 2022. I can't say anything but so far so good, I really like the exterior look. I think the electronics are also very nice, but in the end could possibly be another expensive fix if it breaks, I think I would have to drive a car for a couple of years before I can give a full thumbs up. The engine is quiet but the seats are not that comfortable.
I want to say one thing this is a 23,000 car of course there's going to be interior plastic it's not a German who tries to be very luxury but for 23,000 brand new car plus all types of maintenance and everything for 3 years that's insane and honestly the sound insulation is very good surprised same with how it drives and it's very economic but keep up videos very nice
I purchased the 2023 Elantra Elite Hybrid & couldn’t be happier. My only questions as a new hybrid driver is; will I get better mpg in sport, or smart? Will driving in manual improve mpg? I’m learning a bit more everyday but gotta tell you… this hybrid looks, feels and runs beautifully. My biggest fear was it would be a putt/putt & hold up traffic trying to get it to go faster… NOPE! My fear has been proven a non-issue. In fact, I can keep up with and pass many gas vehicles. Lol 😈
For the money the convenience package is better. 10.5 inch screen and LCD TFT cluster. Leather wrapped steering wheel, heated side mirrors, wireless charging pad, cruise control stop and go, heated front seats, electronic parking break, and 17 inch alloy wheels! so much more for the value.
I have the same model - 2021 - called Preferred, we loose the dual zone heating - but they give us a heated wheel and with that a leather wheel and shifter.
@@sijiaxu4109 What colour did you go for? Also, I honestly find this gauge cluster is growing on me like I like it better than the 10in full one. Also, when I test-drove this vehicle, I was shocked by how quiet it is! As my family has a 2019 elantra and driving in this I could tell the difference!
@@johnmcp2319 I ordered the white color. I agree with you regarding the instrument cluster. I test drove one with the tech package and one without, and dicided immediately that I don't want the tech package. About 5 years ago I test drove the last generation Elantra and a Mazda 3, ended up choosing the Mazda 3 because it feels more premium in many sections by a slight margin. This time I went with the Elantra because I like the handling and the quiet ride.
I like the look of the Elantra. Also ur review is excellent. Hyundai came a long way. I had a 1997 Hyundai sonata and every 10000 miles I had a lot of engine trouble so I am very skeptical of this brand
Mazdas drives very good. You might feel little of a down grade but new Hyundai’s are very good. Mazdas feel more put together and alot of soft materials. The Elantra has A lot of plastics but it does drive and handles good
Mazda will always be good. If you wanted something better you should go with Acura. I had an Elantra, loved it but I wanted more performance. It’s a nice and smooth drive, better than golf r, civic, and Camry. But if you wanted an Elantra performance I’d go with Elantra N. No point upgrading from Mazda to Hyundai Elantra SEL.
Also forgot to mention, Elantras have a lot of space. Lots of trunk space and passenger space. But then again it goes 0-60 in 6-7 seconds, unless it’s the N it goes in 5.3 secs or less. I have a Kia GTS and I absolutely love it.
I love the gauge cluster screen 😅and how they made the infotainment more part of the dash. When my mom first got in my 2022 accord, she tried to take it off think i put my ipad on top of the dash lol. Anyway everything alse about this car i dont like. I dont like the body design and lines, and l hate parts of the interior. I think its one of those cars where you love it or hate it.
The sel convince package does come with adaptive memory for cruse control i have one and a lot more options and trim packages depending on how i drive i get 39 to 44.9 on highway by doing the math at fill up dash show's a lot more then what you are actually getting great car
The Elantra does actually get The gas mileage everyone says I have a 2023 SEL convenience and the most I ever got on the highway was 52mpg on a standard 2.0L 4cyl engine naturally aspirated. They have hybrid and electric versions I seen personally hit over 65 mpg just in the city limits. 😮
Does this have Traffic Sign Recognition? I seen another 2023 Elantra SEL with Convenience Package with it but nothing on websites. I’m so confused lol and it’s a feature i’d love!
I am gonna get the delivery of the car in just 2 days in Illinois State. I will will be paying 7% over as market adjustment don't know if it's normal now a days .. I have booked this same colour ... I really want to have the tinted windows on the car .. but not sure what's legal limit for Illinois 35% or 50%
@@Iegend17 Thanks for the reply! I definitely love the look of the Elantra. Right now I’m figuring out between the two and will be test driving them both. Does the lane assist for the Elantra work in the city or mainly highway and does it have automatic Breaking if someone walks in front of the car or if a car stops suddenly or does it just beep?
Why does the interior screen looks different than in other videos with Hyundai 2023. I just bought this car and I have this same screen but all other videos I see they have the other screen. 2 screens actually with the one behind the wheel being one instead of like this in your video and my car.
oh those shifts are simulated not real. Hyundai dropped the 6 speed automatic transaxle w/shiftronic in favor of an IVT or fancy word for a CVT as can be found in the likes of the Toyota Corolla, Subaru, Nissan, Honda, compact cars.
Used it for about two months as a rental vehicle and the car had only 23k km on it. At this low mileage the horn wasn't working. The windscreen had cracks. I could feel the vibrantion in the brake pedal upon applying the brake over 60 or 70km/h. The doors were very light. You'd feel cheap when closing them. This car shakes on highway. But, I'd say that it's more fuel efficient, more responsive and much more quicker than Civic.
Lol why you mad? It’s the truth brotha. Go drive both and come back to me. I didn’t say anything about what outlast what. If I did you will be right. Think before you say anything
@@Iegend17 I’m not mad. Just saying facts. I have both cars in my family in fact from different model year. The Elantra has a recall for its engine and The civic hasn’t had any problems. But discounting the civic purely based on road noise is quite possibly the stupidest thing I’ve heard in my life. And you said “I will trust the Elantra over the civic because the civic is just too loud on the highway.” 9:20 That’s what I’m referring to. What does noise have to do with trust?
@@ArthropodSpidey when you buy a car you need something good. This is an investment. Yes as I said. The civic has better engine. I don’t understand why you don’t want to understand that I am agreeing with you regarding to that. The 2018 Honda civic (my dad’s) is quiter on the highway than the 2022.
I always thought “loud on the highway” was a stupid complaint. It’s a car. It’s right on the ground. Wind noise is just gonna happen. It’s not a rolls Royce.
@@Iegend17 the Hyundai will be the quietest car when it stops running 3 years into ownership. Meanwhile the Honda will probably still be on the streets in 20 years!
Looks is the eye of the beholder. I think it's sleek and modern..That "bar" is to form a cocoon cockpit, giving it a driver's focus interior. I love it. Cars like Jaguar and Corvette has it.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 I agree. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Regardless, I think the bar is awful and unnecessary. You said corvette’s have it. They do, because in a car with 450 horse power that gets you to 0-60 in seconds you need it. A “cockpit” makes sense. This car has 140 hp and takes over 8 seconds to get to 60. You don’t need it. The corvette’s bar has almost all interior cabin controls on the middle bar. This one has nothing. Serves no purpose. The corvette’s bar is wrapped in premium leather. This bar is just a cheap piece of plastic. When you grab it, it creaks and crackles. Not only does it look cheap, and feel cheap, it is cheap. So if you like it fine, but comparing it to the corvettes center bar doesn’t hold water. They’re completely different. One is highly usable, feels solid and luxurious, is maybe even necessary when driven hard. This one has no use, isn’t necessary at all, and feels like cheap plastic, because that’s what it is.
@@garytryan The point of the car is to make it sporty look and feel. Yes, it's not Corvette. But, I applaud Hyundai for giving us something different, than the typical Civic and Corolla. And this car don't only goes 147hp..There's a whole performance N does 276hp. Which make sense on why Hyundai gave the interior a cockpit sporty look. And as for the "cheap plastic", it's not a $30k car. So cost cutting have to go somewhere to make it affordable. I actually test drove the new Elantra Limited. I love the driver's focus feel in the cabin. The plastic didn't creak or rattle while I was driving. If you grab it hard like an ass, then yeah it will creaks. I'm not gonna drive like a speed demon in it. Now if I got the N, then that's a different story. I can see passenger grabbing that bar on the N version, while doing twisty bits on the race track.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 Yes, I understand they have a performance edition, but this isn’t it, so that’s the car I’m commenting on. I just believe form should follow function. An “oh shit” bar in the middle of the cabin doesn’t make it sporty. You can put a spoiler on it, still doesn’t make it sporty. It’s just all superficial. The Mazda 3 and Civic use less plastic and their entry level cars are not 30,000 dollars. As far as creaking, I promise you it does. Another review of the car on TH-cam shows the reviewer grabbing the bar, and you can hear it. If you’re going to put the bar there, people are going to grab it. So sure, if you ignore the bar, it makes no noise. You’re right it is different. I much prefer the clean looks of the Mazda 3 or new civic. And I think they could make the interior of this car driver focused without the bar. But as you said in the beginning, looks are in the eye of the beholder, so I’m glad you like it. Each to his own.
@@garytryan And I prefer the sportiness and the technology of the Elantra. And like I said, I didn't hear any creaks when I test drove the car. Other Reviewers or Commenters you mentioned, are irrelevant to me..Grant it, the interior in Mazda 3 and Civic is nice. But it doesn't hold a candle to Elantra technology features. And it's best in class in interior space for a compact car.
Do you have the SEL Convenient package with Sun roof. Because if so that would explain as that comes with the 10in screen and one that goes right across.
I had to laugh right away hearing nothing but the sound of the turn signal. I remember growing up, riding in my grandmother's large sedan (don't even know what make/model it was) and that was the only sound we'd hear...no music! Decades later and that's me, driving around deep in thought and in total silence. Still pretty young but I've become my grandmother in that respect, ha ha.
I cant think if theres music on 🤣
I haaaaaate driving in silence. Gotta have the radio on, whether is loud heavy music or just talk radio.

My wife picks up ours's on Friday. We wanted a white one with the gray leather seats, but we quickly found that no Hyundai dealerships in and about our state have any. We ended up buying the Limited that is an electric shadow color with black leather seats. We are excited to see it and finally get it as our own. They gave us a loaner Elantra base model to use until we pick up the car. It is black. It is really her car, as I am retired and mostly don't drive all that much except trips to the hardware store and local grocery stores or such. We are indeed excited about this vehicle. We traded in our 2013 Honda CRV, which served us for years with no real issues at all. Hoping this one will do as well.

Will do. Thank you 😊👌🏼

This guy knows cars! I liked the observations you made about the quiteness of a car while most reviewes put more points for just performance.

I wonder if the NU 2.0 piston rings are revised in the 2023?
where is the heated wheel button ?
I am gonna get the delivery of the car in just 2 days in Illinois State.
I will will be paying 7% over as market adjustment don't know if it's normal now a days ..
I have booked this same colour ...
I really want to have the tinted windows on the car .. but not sure what's legal limit for Illinois 35% or 50%
I thought the 2023 comes with bigger screen?
does anyone know if the black come with these black rims? or are they painted?
Loved it.
This Vs the Kia 2023 Forte EX trim. What would you say?
Both drive very good and they feel sporty and comfortable. I think I will choose the Elantra over because of the looks
@@Iegend17 Thanks for the reply! I definitely love the look of the Elantra. Right now I’m figuring out between the two and will be test driving them both. Does the lane assist for the Elantra work in the city or mainly highway and does it have automatic Breaking if someone walks in front of the car or if a car stops suddenly or does it just beep?
@@johnmcp2319 mainly highway and all have emergency braking. it will stop when it sees a person too
@@Iegend17 Ok thanks!
@@Iegend17 Udate my Elantra came in and it's great!!
Is this the se, sel or limited?
Sel I mentioned it in the video
Why does the interior screen looks different than in other videos with Hyundai 2023. I just bought this car and I have this same screen but all other videos I see they have the other screen. 2 screens actually with the one behind the wheel being one instead of like this in your video and my car.
It depends on the trim you buy. More money better screens :)
it is great review, thank you so much. I am getting this car too. I wonder how i can use gps/ google maps or navigation ?
Do you have a iPhone? Apple Play allows you to use Google Maps or Waze on the screen.
@@tcuplvr yes l have iPhone XR, thanks for info
You can use carplay and it is wireless
have you seen the relaxation option on the calligraphy front seats yet
Haven’t but I think it’s the ergo massaging from the Genesis. I tired the ergo massaging and I like it. Like waves in the seat :)
This reminds me of a Kia Forte and a Kia k5
It looks almost exactly the same as the 2022 version
Yes they don’t make a new look every year. It’s called a carry over
It's a refresh! The car debuted in 2021. Probably won't get a redesign until 2025.
The thing about Civics is that these young kids think it's cool to have that pop pop pop muffler
Hi handsome. What a smooth transmission.
my mom just got this car lol
I love the sport mode
oh those shifts are simulated not real.
Hyundai dropped the 6 speed automatic transaxle w/shiftronic in favor of an IVT or fancy word for a CVT as can be found in the likes of the Toyota Corolla, Subaru, Nissan, Honda, compact cars.
If only the body styling wasn’t so homely
That’s the se base model. The sel has a bigger screen with no knobs
Wrong. The sel has a premium package where it gives you the bigger screen. Please check Hyundai website. I own two elantras
I own the limited. I guess all the sel versions I’ve seen have the big screen and the flat screen speedometer
@@Iegend17 It is called the convenience package is the USA.
台灣沒引進Elantra 7 看來是要放棄市場了
is this car gaslion not diesel right pls answer i want to konw
Gas
@@Iegend17 thanks
How much do u pay a month?
It’s not my car but it depends how much down payment you put down
Plastic Fantastic
not even close on the weight lol... 2868 lbs. very light for a modern compact
I'm getting 45 on the highway
I thought the instrument was digital in 2023?
For the Convenience Trim and Limited Trim only
I really wanted to get an elantra from Key Hyundai but their dealer conveyance fee is CRAZYYYY so I went with a Taos from Volkswagen
How much you paid for conveyance fees for the VW
I love this car but the transmission problems scare me
This is an SE
This is the SEL with no convenience package
Car weighs 2800
Click thumb up first. Lol
Hahah thanks
Used it for about two months as a rental vehicle and the car had only 23k km on it. At this low mileage the horn wasn't working. The windscreen had cracks. I could feel the vibrantion in the brake pedal upon applying the brake over 60 or 70km/h. The doors were very light. You'd feel cheap when closing them. This car shakes on highway. But, I'd say that it's more fuel efficient, more responsive and much more quicker than Civic.
I find Rental Vehicles have a reputation for being driven hard. So most likely the issues you noticed are due to that.
@@johnmcp2319
Yup. But, the horn issue is there in 2021 models. There's a video as well about it on TH-cam. Many owners had this problem.
This car doesn't give a good feeling when you drive because of cheap suspension and ivt transmission.
Why don’t you go buy a Mercedes? It’s Hyundai man. It’s 21k lol. Come on
@@Iegend17 I bought Jetta it's so much better
“Civic was loud on the highway”
What a stupid 1st world problem. The Civic will outlast this Elantra because it’s engine won’t explode.
Lol why you mad? It’s the truth brotha. Go drive both and come back to me. I didn’t say anything about what outlast what. If I did you will be right. Think before you say anything
@@Iegend17 I’m not mad. Just saying facts. I have both cars in my family in fact from different model year. The Elantra has a recall for its engine and The civic hasn’t had any problems.
But discounting the civic purely based on road noise is quite possibly the stupidest thing I’ve heard in my life.
And you said “I will trust the Elantra over the civic because the civic is just too loud on the highway.” 9:20
That’s what I’m referring to. What does noise have to do with trust?
@@ArthropodSpidey when you buy a car you need something good. This is an investment. Yes as I said. The civic has better engine. I don’t understand why you don’t want to understand that I am agreeing with you regarding to that. The 2018 Honda civic (my dad’s) is quiter on the highway than the 2022.
@@ArthropodSpidey I didn’t say trust lol. Are you drunk?
@@Iegend17 I even gave you the timestamp where you said trust bro. 🤦😂
I always thought “loud on the highway” was a stupid complaint. It’s a car. It’s right on the ground. Wind noise is just gonna happen. It’s not a rolls Royce.
It’s something huge. We are in 2022 no in the 80s. People care about that now. I understand people will have their music on but still
@@Iegend17 the Hyundai will be the quietest car when it stops running 3 years into ownership. Meanwhile the Honda will probably still be on the streets in 20 years!
@@wyattb.5085 new Hondas aren’t that good anymore. I am a huge Honda fan and Honda is not like it used to be sadly :(
Such an ugly car. And that bar between the driver and passenger? LOL. I can't believe anyone would buy this car.
Looks is the eye of the beholder. I think it's sleek and modern..That "bar" is to form a cocoon cockpit, giving it a driver's focus interior. I love it. Cars like Jaguar and Corvette has it.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 I agree. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Regardless, I think the bar is awful and unnecessary. You said corvette’s have it. They do, because in a car with 450 horse power that gets you to 0-60 in seconds you need it. A “cockpit” makes sense. This car has 140 hp and takes over 8 seconds to get to 60. You don’t need it.
The corvette’s bar has almost all interior cabin controls on the middle bar. This one has nothing. Serves no purpose.
The corvette’s bar is wrapped in premium leather. This bar is just a cheap piece of plastic. When you grab it, it creaks and crackles. Not only does it look cheap, and feel cheap, it is cheap.
So if you like it fine, but comparing it to the corvettes center bar doesn’t hold water. They’re completely different. One is highly usable, feels solid and luxurious, is maybe even necessary when driven hard. This one has no use, isn’t necessary at all, and feels like cheap plastic, because that’s what it is.
@@garytryan The point of the car is to make it sporty look and feel. Yes, it's not Corvette. But, I applaud Hyundai for giving us something different, than the typical Civic and Corolla. And this car don't only goes 147hp..There's a whole performance N does 276hp. Which make sense on why Hyundai gave the interior a cockpit sporty look. And as for the "cheap plastic", it's not a $30k car. So cost cutting have to go somewhere to make it affordable. I actually test drove the new Elantra Limited. I love the driver's focus feel in the cabin. The plastic didn't creak or rattle while I was driving. If you grab it hard like an ass, then yeah it will creaks. I'm not gonna drive like a speed demon in it. Now if I got the N, then that's a different story. I can see passenger grabbing that bar on the N version, while doing twisty bits on the race track.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 Yes, I understand they have a performance edition, but this isn’t it, so that’s the car I’m commenting on.
I just believe form should follow function. An “oh shit” bar in the middle of the cabin doesn’t make it sporty. You can put a spoiler on it, still doesn’t make it sporty. It’s just all superficial.
The Mazda 3 and Civic use less plastic and their entry level cars are not 30,000 dollars. As far as creaking, I promise you it does. Another review of the car on TH-cam shows the reviewer grabbing the bar, and you can hear it. If you’re going to put the bar there, people are going to grab it. So sure, if you ignore the bar, it makes no noise.
You’re right it is different. I much prefer the clean looks of the Mazda 3 or new civic. And I think they could make the interior of this car driver focused without the bar.
But as you said in the beginning, looks are in the eye of the beholder, so I’m glad you like it. Each to his own.
@@garytryan And I prefer the sportiness and the technology of the Elantra. And like I said, I didn't hear any creaks when I test drove the car. Other Reviewers or Commenters you mentioned, are irrelevant to me..Grant it, the interior in Mazda 3 and Civic is nice. But it doesn't hold a candle to Elantra technology features. And it's best in class in interior space for a compact car.
Why is my 2023 SEL elantra speedometer and tachometer looks different ????
Do you have the SEL Convenient package with Sun roof. Because if so that would explain as that comes with the 10in screen and one that goes right across.
