I’m personally not a fan of the triangle headlights of the 2019. I like that the 2018 has a more luxurious looking front even though it’s an economical car.
2018 looks better. It's balanced and complete. 2019 looks like an unfinished prototype. Maybe they're trying too hard to grab customers who might be interested in a Civic.
you probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
Cup holders aren't changed, same as before. Only limited has them in arm rest. So glad I have a 17. New one while not ugly, is not as good looking. I don't care for the interior changes either. Have checked it out at dealer..my car has been flawless. 42.000 miles now.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, as the saying goes. A comparison between the safety and convenience features of the two model years would be a worthwhile video and would probably enlighten most of the commenters.
I have said it before, I am saying it again... That previous Elantra (till 2018) looked much better no matter which angle u looked at it from. This 2019 Elantra, I am unable to understand who designed it and why?
If you listen to your customers the front is a fail. No big deal though, but Hyundai should not be chasing Honda to win the ugly car contest. Bought the 2018 Elantra Sport last month when I saw the 2019.
2019 terrible design, this is what happens when you try to fix something not broke, so stupid that they changed it..if you have no taste you will like the 2019
Thanks for making this comparison video. Like many have already stated, I think the redesign is a huge step backwards. You emphasized the sharp lines, but they clash with the rest of the car's curves, especially when looking at the roundness of the side profile. I have an Elantra Sport, which I think is one of the best looking Hyundai products ever and in many ways, it makes me think of a baby Audi S3. In fact, the styling is partly why I chose it over the Civic Si. It just makes the disappointment of this redesign even stronger. Comparing this with the other Korean compact, the new Kia Forte, the Forte looks infinitely better.
I see many going after 2019 look , I dint like it either. I bought 2019 luxary model last week reluctantly and I don regret it. In person 2019 does look neat on iron grey and love it. Take a test drive or see the car first its completely different perspective.
I think the overall look for me is that the 2019 gives the feel of an economy car, but the 2018 feels like its more refined and punching above its weight. I think the 2019 is a step backwards. It made me rush to get a 2018 so I'm happy I got one!
@@secordman That's the model I got. 0% financing and some other rebates I saved close to $5000. I found a rare dealer demo that was a never driven car so still brand new but that was an additional $500 off. The only catch is that the warranty starts back when the dealership bought the car, in my case in May. But they offered me the 6year 120'000k platinum warranty for $800 off so I took that since it was the top tier warranty that covers hundreds more items like infotainment replacement and even alternator and battery replacement which isn't covered under the normal 5 year warranty.
The 2018's front end looks so much nicer than the 2019. They definitely went backwards on this remodel. Also the checkboard interior gauges look odd as well on the 2019.
Basic comparison is okay. Rear cup holders on some 2018 are found in the center console as well, but not on limited models. Comparing a limited 2018 to a 2019 base model is not a good way to compared different model years.
I wish they kept the 2018 fog lights! they look better but I have the 2019 SEL and I love it. I get compliments on it a lot. A good detail they put on the 2019 was the Elantra writing on the back.
I just had a dealer hunt down a new 2018 Elantra Sport 2 days ago because I wanted one before they were all gone. After seeing the 2019, I knew I would rather have a 2018.
I am so impressed with the Elantra. I test drove a 2018 Sonota Sport + and I am confused with the technology differences in each car. The dealership rep said that the 2018 Sonota were outfitted with the PLUS technology. I was very impressed. I felt the Sonota was like a SPACESHIP when driving it compared to my 2010 Sonota that is being traded in and ill pay the rest in cash. AFTER learning the bucket seats can push you up and learning about all the cool technology features I was really excited. I was about to buy this car UNTIL I saw the 2019 Elantra. WOW. I was really impressed. So I started looking at this model and the different types of trim. I also looked at the other models like Kona and Veloster. MY OBSERVATION is that all the Hyundai's are equipped with the same technology package. CORRECT YES or NO? The Elantra comes in different trim packages and I assume that means the different outside and interior features. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS DOES THE ELANTRA MODELS 2018 or 2019 all come with the same technology inside, like the 2018 Sonota sport? Lane changing, rear camera, front obstruction deterrence, the mirror had links similar to ONSTAR, Do they all have the same TECHNOLOGY features inside? Im looking at the LIMITED and like the Sonota it had push start and remote start from a phone, do they have this? The technology features are important to me and I want what I saw in the Sonota Sport 18 to be in the Elantra. The Elantra is incredibly nice. WHAT IS THE NEXT PACKAGE down from the LIMITED and what is missing? I cant get the facts straight. The trim versions have me all confused and seems like they are not consistent such as the types of seating etc or rims. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME IF THE SAFETY AND TECHNOLOGY I fell in love wiht in the Sonota Sport Plus 18 is pretty much standard in the Elantras and through the various models regardless of trims?
Tyler Struve It won’t be standard equipment, however the new Elantra can have those features. For example, the preferred sun and safety has blind spot detection, and lane keep assist. Take a look at the Elantra Limited. Are you located in Ontario?

the 2019 model looks ok. Nothing wrong with it. I just feel it was unnecessary. The outward appearance was actually one of the biggest strengths of the 2017-2018 version. Hyundai should have focused on other areas like extending some features to the lower trims, especially the manual SE.
No, cant stand that cheap look of the slapped on back up camera, piano black license plate area and unusual tail lights that don't light up well. Much prefer the 2018 as is.
"Aggressive" isn't a positive necessarily. Conservative is good and 2019 messes with a sensible look inside and out. The back seat in the 2018 was good, now it seems cheaper with the cupholders. In the end what matters is if it's a good economical car with decent value for the price.

I have a Hyundai Elantra 2018. I think the front part looks better than Elantra’s 2019. The other external parts of two models, there’s no so different... except the rear, but the new Elantra 2019 is not a totally revolution of changes... The only thing, on new Hyundai Elantra 2019 wins and looks better, is the internal part of the vehicle. New design is better. Also, I think is so important to say that new Hyundai Elantra 2019, isn’t same design revolution than it was Elantra’s 2018.
for the butthurts that say 2019 is ugly...well i happen to like it. in fact ive never owned or thought about owning a hyundai until i seen it so that should tell ya something. im going to go buy me a new one on monday :) Sounds to me like its all the owners of previous version jealous of the new looks cuz "your" car changed on you
Zakery 2018 looks like its from the beginnings of the 2000,s and it just looks normal or kinda bad (the front is ugly AF and so is the back (aka the whole car except the interior) 2019 looks sporty, new, and awesome and the front is amazing
2018 looks perfect
@Bobby Brady That's a Cool car!
Yes coz it has a bit bigger grill
True
I prefer the 2019. 18 looks basic
I’m personally not a fan of the triangle headlights of the 2019. I like that the 2018 has a more luxurious looking front even though it’s an economical car.
I really have some serious questions to hyundai team. This is going backwards with design.
Parth Chauhan look at the pre-facelift and post-facelift 1st Gen Hyundai Tiburon
I don’t agree..the newer design is way better than that ugly catfish look.
I prefer the 2018 , great review thank you
Thank you for watching! We're glad you enjoyed our review.
2018 looks better. It's balanced and complete. 2019 looks like an unfinished prototype. Maybe they're trying too hard to grab customers who might be interested in a Civic.
A civic? ha that is more of a Toyota Prius level of ugliness

I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Abel Emiliano instablaster ;)
2019 has awesome led daytimes, gets lots of double takes ,a set of 18” rims completely changing everything too
The girl Elantra Sport 1.6 Turbo 2018 is very beautiful and fantastic at all.
What girl? Are you saying that the Elantra is a girly car?

You're right! My bad! Our Elantras sure are a fantastic running vehicle!
Also have the ‘17 in shale gray metallic. Excellent car! I do like the rear style of the ‘19, but prefer the front design of the ‘18.
The headlights of the 2019 model make the car look very plastic-ish and unrefined.
It looks just like honda accord 2005 (the front headlight)
The 2018 Elantra looks so much better than the 2019 version.
2017/18 elantra sport was the perfect look in my opinion, love mine
I love my 2018 it looks better than the ‘19 in my opinion... wish I had leather seats though
Me too lol
😍
Why the fuck does a woman have a car
That it's true

Too aggressive for 2019 tbh, 2018 is perfect
2019 is an exact twin to the Sonata....
I think the 2018 looks better
I have said it before, I am saying it again... That previous Elantra (till 2018) looked much better no matter which angle u looked at it from. This 2019 Elantra, I am unable to understand who designed it and why?
it's like they're trying to compete with toyota on who can design the ugliest.

We're sorry you feel that way! The design sure is up to preference.
2019 is much better and pretty .
look it at real to see the difference .
I agree. The 2018 is better looking. More elegant and stylish. They ruined a perfect car in my opinion.

@@practicalguy973 Great deal
Maybe this was their plan, to make a bad looking car & overstock on the 2018 so everyone quickly buys the 2018 hoping not to miss out.

Mr. Cooper
Ikr its so much better and cooler than the 2018 version
Fr. I don't understand why people like the 18b better. The 19 looks way better imo
The 2019 looks like shit. It didn’t need a re design. The 2018 looks so much better
Where did Hyundai go wrong wit the 2019? 🤔 😣
I own a 2018 and it's perfect‼️❤️
I have 2018 elantra, best car!
Damien
I have the 2019 model and its amazing
Its the number one car
So glad I bought the 2018, love it and the design is much better imo.
2019!
we had a plans to buy elantra. Now will wait for upcoming one
Put the headlights of 2018 to 2019.
habria que cambiar bonete y bumper

The letters are way too big and I cringe every time I see a 2019 Elantra or Sonata. But that’s just my opinion...
Hi so the both elantra has same size lip kits ?
HATE THAT 2019 ALREADY HAVE A 2018 MODEL AND I LOVE THE 2018
2019 looks way better than the boring 2018...the headlights are getting futuristic
I own a 2018 Elantra, looks better than the 2019. New one looks like a Toyota Prius
Yeah Im happy w. My ‘18 the ‘19 looks like something from the ‘90s

I think the front part looks better than Elantra’s 2019.
The other external parts of two models, there’s no so different... except the rear, but the new Elantra 2019 is not a totally revolution of changes...
The only thing, on new Hyundai Elantra 2019 wins and looks better, is the internal part of the vehicle. New design is better.
Also, I think is so important to say that new Hyundai Elantra 2019, isn’t same design revolution than it was Elantra’s 2018.
Thanks for video !
2019 looks cheaper than Accent
I have a 2020 Accent and it definitely does look nicer and more stylish than the 2019 Elantra
2018 is more beautifully than 2019
New one looks old styled. Hyundai going backwards 🤣
Talk about the 2003 Honda Accord
Especially the back

Hyundai elantra 2019 price
Just change 2019 front headlights with 2018, and everything is perfect for me in 2019 varient
RickyRisha410
The headlights of the 2019 are better and cooler looking
The 2018 headlights just look old styled
I don’t like the 2019 car’s name on the trunk, way too big and not classy at all. Also, the 2018 trunk has a button to open it, does the 2019 not?
Kole H I think you tap the h on the 19 and the trunk opens
2018 Elantra is the best Elantra till to date, Hyundai should continue with both models for some time and compare the sales
How tf is the 2019 pushing 240 I have a 2018 elentra turbocharged the most it goes is 160 :(
that is Canadian specs speedometer hence it is 240 km/h which is equal to around 150 mph
for the butthurts that say 2019 is ugly...well i happen to like it. in fact ive never owned or thought about owning a hyundai until i seen it so that should tell ya something. im going to go buy me a new one on monday :) Sounds to me like its all the owners of previous version jealous of the new looks cuz "your" car changed on you
bubber25 yeah I think so I just got a 2019 phantom black Elantra sel and its a beautiful car
I bought a certified 2018. The 2019 was pretty ugly, the inside was also less attractive.
I just bought a new 18, specifically because the 19’s are UGLY. I LOVE MY 18!
2018 Elantra looks more girly imho
19 is so wacko looking even for the ES Sport i decided to stick with the 17-18 model instead.
Good review, 2020 corolla next please
2019 is only good looking at rear otherwise 2018 is lit
Front of 2018 and back of 2019.. that will be their design for 2020. Yes Hyundai do it.. I have future plans of getting one.
Why does everyone think that is the 2018 it is the 2017 body style do the research people!!!!
2018 much better than 2019,from INDIA...
How many times did he say AGGRESSIVE?
2018 is besttt
2018 is a lot better looking

2019 looks like a pokemon

At least its way cooler and sporty than the 2018 old junk

2018 looks far better than 2019
Just being objective and to me the car on the right looks way better...
Front look ise better but rear side is worse. Two storey tail lights look old. Previous one has a more dynamic looking.
The 17 and 18 models look more elegant and expensive. The 19 looks like a Kia.
