It is worth noting the Manual Elantra N Line will end production by the end of 2021 Calendar Year for 2022MY production. If you want a new 2022 N Line in manual you better act quickly.
@@MattMaranMotoring The 2022MY have been on lots for 6-8 weeks already. They are available in manual until the end of the calendar year or so as sneakily hidden on page 4 of 2022MY N Line Specs sheet press docs.
That's pretty sad to hear. Maybe they're hoping for the people who want manual to shell up for the full N model when it comes out. At least the new Civic Si will come in manual though!
@@sonydominates That is our best guess who have been around the Hyundai scene for years. Hopefully that means the price point of the manual N will come in right around $30k but I really do think that is wishful thinking.
We got a 2022 Manual Trans and love it! Amazing to drive and tons of fun. Lots of power with the turbo and getting 36-39MPG on the highway. About 8k mi and the shift feels way smoother. Definitely feels like a sports car all around and the price point was good. Super happy customer! Thank you Hyundai. And thanks for posting this video Matt. Nice job
I have a GT350 as my fun car. I just recently bought a 22 Elantra N-line DCT as my daily and I love it! Fun little nimble car. Enough passing power on the highway. Can cruise easy at 90mph on the highway and curvy roads.
I bought this exact car in a manual, it is a nice mix of comfort, quickness, fun, mpg mid 30s, handling is good...it is a great daily driver. Good fun car and a great value for cheap price.
@@MrSemi009 Honestly it is not bad at all, I dont even notice it. I can get 43mpg on highway, the car continues to amaze me...and quality is good, no problems at all and no rattles in the cabin.
Hi Matt! I'm loving the vid as always! It is awesome that you mentioned the key fob problem that you had in the rain, and honestly that is one of the many problems with keyless go that I have experienced, so I can totally relate. Also, this is another reason why I still prefer a keybas it works all the time. Awesome vid as always, and please remember for you and your family to stay safe always! Take care and God Bless! :)
Hey Matt, based in part on your 2017 Elantra Sport, You helped me confirm that yes I did need that car which I already thought looked great and ended up buying as a second car in early 2018. I got the Galactic grey DCT and now have a downpipe on it and cone filter that add a big helping of HP and factory lip spoiler. People ask me what kind of a car it is because it looks so good, then I tell them what it cost. I keep it ceramic coated and wont use it in snow. Adding Conti tires really quiets the cabin compared the to original white noise generating tires.
Great review. I'm really glad that you mentioned the heavy flywheel. So many people missed that and that has ruined many a manual experience for me. While I appreciate having a manual option, if the manufacturer is going to phone it in, I'd rather that they not even bother. I couldn't see myself buying this car.
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ You're right. Some people don't know, though a car reviewer should. If someone doesn't care about this then they shouldn't even be looking at a manual car. They would be better served by an auto.
@@buildmorefarms1007 That's relative, depending on your experience and expectations. I'm not in the market for this car, but if I was, I suspect my thoughts would mirror Matt's and that would be a deal breaker for me.
@@darrell9616 If you havent driven it you are basing your opinion on something you havent experienced, 2nd hand info. Go drive one, then make your judgement.
@@kyron2092 it’s too similar to the base civic. Less advertised power then the previous year Jesus.. Sedan only.. even Toyota had the balls to give their entry level sports car more power. All Honda had to do was give the people 1-2 psi more boost for 220hp.
That Forte GT looks good for sure, as an owner of 2018 Elantra Sport, they actually spent money on the interior and it has dual exhaust with a better sound from oem than the single pipe 1.6 T's
I recently upgraded to Comtinental DWS06 Plus on my 2018 Elantra Sport AND went from 225/40 to 235/40 and its 1000% better than those Ventis Noble tires that came on it from the factory, was never impressed with those tires one bit. I really like this car, ALOT and can't wait for the full N model, great review Matt👍👍 So Matt, how does this compare to the 2017-18 you reviewed years ago? I know you've reviewed hundreds of cars since then but thought I'd ask anyways🤔
@@dnegel9546 I'd love to but I feel like a weasel test driving something I'm not ready to buy yet, it's just wasting their time as well, know what I mean🤔😉
@@dnegel9546 well I love my car and the DCT continues to win me over but I still prefer 3 pedals but a new N-line would basically be a lateral move. I really want a used Veloster N or possibly used Elantra N in a couple years, stay "tuned"😎
Thanks! Honestly it drives pretty similarly from what I remember and since most of the mechanical components are the same. Handling is probably a tad better in the new one.
I owned the 21 Elantra limited, it was a really nice car, but before I purchased the limited I thought about purchasing the n-line as well. I lived with the limited for about a year. I did like the limited but it wasn't the car for me so I traded it in for the n-line manual transmission and I must say I enjoy the n-line much more and I get 45 mpg highway and about 30 on city driving I average about 34 combined I wasn't getting the gas mileage with the limited as I do with the n-line. I must admit, being gas is what it is, I'm easy on the car. Before I own both of these cars I owned a 17 Miata and I feel like I'm having as much fun with the n-line as the Miata. It's been a few years since the Miata so I could be failing. But when making a sharp corner with the N-line I feel it recovers almost as well as the Miata.
Matt, you're the best person to ask this question, is the Elantra N Line more fun than the Subaru WRX Turbo? i used to own a 2001 WRX Turbo many years ago and was wondering how it compares? Thanks.
I have the 2018 elantra sport hb, and it's a fun little car. It's not fast by any means. I wanted the n line but the more I looked into it, I couldn't justify the jump up in price for what you get. The power train is identical between the two and the interior/exterior bits are nice, but not needed.
Great review. Still have my heart set on the Elantra N but the way things seem to be going with supply chains, those won't be arriving till well into 2022.
Let's hope the next gen Elantra N has actual options. At the very least Lava Orange or Fiery Red Pearl/ silver trim color ways and maybe interior seating options. Instead of the Alcantara buckets, I could see people opting for the power seats from the current Kona N. Heated steering wheels and rear vents maybe??
I think they made wireless CarPlay with the smaller screen because it has 1 buttons , 2 cheaper , 3 it’s trim is bulk of sales but most importantly 4 that’s the trim for CR ratings lol
Dollar for dollar the Forte GT seems like the one to buy. I still don't understand why Hyundai cut the corners they did for this, but made it's cheaper equivalent better equipped.
Completely subjective. I'd say if you want to do track days, you'd be right. Though the Straight Pipes were faster in the Elantra Sport than the Si on the autocross.
Just letting everyone know considering a 1.6t vehicle, any light breathing mods you can make to the engine make a shocking difference, and the DCT does a great job at keeping the motor in power as a typical stick driving enthusiast. Because my other cars are a stick, I have loads of fun beating other cars off the line with my DCT 2018 Sport. I noticed after doing a downpipe without tune, the car is no longer sluggish in first gear getting into the throttle and response from the engine is much more immediate along with way more HP. DP is the singe best mod you could give this engine along with getting rid of the factory choker of an air box.
Also adding the DP ups the fuel econ markedly. I usually only average less than 29.5 per tank if I really get lead footed for a fun drive. Highway average 36mpg in NE
@@MattMaranMotoring WOW! Matt you serious!? I hope they don’t overkill on Elantra N pricing…or Ill just go for a used Veloster N which is difficult right now to find
There's not much savings buying anything used this year. I'd recommend either waiting till used prices come back down to earth, or go for a new N if you want to buy something asap.
I've always been a Honda guy but after owning multiple Hyundais I'm pretty sold, the hard truth is that Honda tax is real in my area. A used Si is 30k+ while the N-Lines sit comfortably around 22k
A lot of angles (triangles) to the exterior design. The question is whether this style will age well? GTI & Golf look boxy. The KIA K5 & Forte are more attractive. I think new buyers, millenials and more older people will buy the 2022 Honda Civic.
Test drove this exact car. It’s got a little turbo lag in 2nd gear but it’s definitely quick enough to have fun. It’s a lot of car for the price and it comes loaded too. Didn’t buy one….yet
Fast forward... 12/21/22. The Elantra N line (manual) is dead for the U.S. market. The full N branded vehicles are also gone (sans the Elantra which will stick around for another generation) i.e. Veloster, Kona, I30, etc... The Veloster R Spec is, (will be) a rare bird. The Elantra GT N line will also be harder to come by. With the manual gone, the Elantra N line manual is going to be something desirable, especially in Lava Orange... a color they should bring to the Elantra N for the next generation at the very least. -since we didn't get the Fiery Red Pearl/ silver trim version in the U.S. Watch Hyundai go ahead and do an AWD Elantra N line with the 1.6L turbo and a full N variant with 300+HP from the 2.5L inline four turbo.
To be fair lsd is really not needed in day to day driving. Best feature is using it coming out a corner while being in the throttle which most ppl should not be doing on public roads. But on the other hand, the si barely cost more and it has one. A mechanical lsd is like $1k. So.. they could at least just offer it on the manual.
Bought a DCT in Canada and they came with full highs and lows in LED not sure if there is different trim lvls for the nline or unless the LEDS only come on the DCT. But they do come with those very nice led taillights which are the same as the N ver.
@@ryanpatterson336 I just double checked on Hyundai USA build configuration. LED headlights are not available on the US models. I guess they throw you a bone for having to pay more.
Rev hang is when you shift and instead of the RPMs dropping predictably before you engage the next gear the car will hold the throttle for a small period of time. It’s very annoying and it’s something these brands implement for fuel economy ratings I believe
@@IReahpZz lol the 2017 fusion sport is still the better car and smokes most who pull up on it but cost more, you can love you Hundais all you want fact
Surprise! The Civic Si had a horsepower drop to 200.....Si's have had around 200 hp for nearly 2 decades, the Elantra N line is better looking for 3-4 grand less! Plus less rev hang!
@@jimmypena2442 N Line in my country is also like the M Sport Package which only changes appearance and maybe suspension tuning. It should be N Line > N Sport > N
@@JustinKelly THAT'S THE POINT. The i10, i20, i30 and Tucson N Line are appearance, and this Elantra N Line for some reason has big performance. It's confusing af.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Its hard to compare different regions of the world but the I30 N Line had a very similar 1.6T in many areas of the world. Some got a 1.4T and others had a 1.0T.
N line looks so much better than the full N. I was super excited for the elantra N to come out.... until I saw what it looked like. Good lord its ugly.
I hate to be this guy but they poorly evolved this car, 2018 generation was there best looking, just think of the bmw 3 series, it evolved slowly most people acclimate to the new design, but this car evolves way to quick, just my opinion
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to me this thing is just weird looking. The nose looks like a modernized, angular Ghibli, and it ain’t pretty. I feel like this era of cars is pretty weak in the looks department. Particularly the cars from Asia seem to be looking too complex with the opposite of a “less is more” design philosophy. I really wish they would look to their past to inform their future, like the Honda E, and Nissan Z do. Why is Porsche the only car company not afraid to do rounded headlights?
@@buildmorefarms1007 wrong, I watch all Matt’s videos. I do like the fact that Hyundai is trying to inject some sportiness into their cars and I like the Veloster N design and I own a Japanese car so I’m not just a hater. I just don’t think this is a very good looking car.
Those wheels are fuckin terrible. Lol. This whole car is yucky honestly. I appreciate what Hyundai is tryna do. But this looks like one of those offbrand turbo PlayStation2 controllers as a car. All of these manufacturers need to take design cues from their own history. Hyundai only recently became a brand that can be considered good and reliable, so maybe they should take cues from Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru and Toyota. This shit is ugly and looks like an insect, but in all of the worst ways.
It is worth noting the Manual Elantra N Line will end production by the end of 2021 Calendar Year for 2022MY production. If you want a new 2022 N Line in manual you better act quickly.

Not sure why Hyundai made the n line quieter. When compared to the 2018 Elantra sport exhaust.
@@dnegel9546 I think because the actual N will have the louder exhaust so the n line needed to be quieter
SRT4 came with no muffler. One of the best sounding cars from the factory imo
Which would be the better buy for a fun dependable driver ... N-Line Elantra manual or SI Civic manual ??
I talk about both throughout the video. They have their pros and cons but I'd probably go Civic. The longer warranty on the Hyundai is nice though.

@@gorgonismztruth1551 Your Fusion "sport" can barely pull on a Corolla so you probably shouldn't be talking smack 💁🏽♂️
@@Tinrs80 fusion sport. 6f55 trans from the taurus sho. 2009 transmission. I'd suggest keeping your shit to yourself.
Very nice
Meanwhile the si lost horsepower
Surprise! The Civic Si had a horsepower drop to 200.....Si's have had around 200 hp for nearly 2 decades, the Elantra N line is better looking for 3-4 grand less! Plus less rev hang!
Waiting for the “N”.
Kia styling is SO much better than Hyundai, on every model these days.
Especially the Kia Telluride, they knocked it out the park with that one compared to the Palisade.
Just wish they'd offer the stinger in manual
I think it’s cool 😎
Too much angles and edges on this design but nice engine tho. I would go with Kia which looks much better.
am i the only one that saw the deer in the yard at 21:27 ?
Yes, you are the only one.
It's so confusing with their N Line or N naming.
Its like a “M sport” or “M” model.
@@jimmypena2442 N Line in my country is also like the M Sport Package which only changes appearance and maybe suspension tuning. It should be N Line > N Sport > N
No it's not once you get to know the models. The sad part is the N Line Tucson is nothing but appearance.
@@JustinKelly THAT'S THE POINT. The i10, i20, i30 and Tucson N Line are appearance, and this Elantra N Line for some reason has big performance. It's confusing af.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Its hard to compare different regions of the world but the I30 N Line had a very similar 1.6T in many areas of the world. Some got a 1.4T and others had a 1.0T.
Average mpg 19.6. No bueno , civic si 33 average mpg. Maybe someone was Raacing the n line 🤔
N line looks so much better than the full N. I was super excited for the elantra N to come out.... until I saw what it looked like. Good lord its ugly.
Of course.
I want to see a full N review. These 'N-Line' models are nothing but premium trims.
No the premium trim is the limited model.
This is a sport trim.
Different engine, transmission, and suspension are more than a premium trim lol
looks like the honda accord 2.0 sport rims
People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in Bitcoin as it's retracing.
@Smart Dave That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Williams Brown
I heard that his strategies are really good
Yeah My first investment with Mr Williams earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars ever since then he has been delivering
@@walterdonald5432 He has really made a good name for himself
He's Really amazing with an amazing skills he changed my 0.3btc to 2.1btc
I hate to be this guy but they poorly evolved this car, 2018 generation was there best looking, just think of the bmw 3 series, it evolved slowly most people acclimate to the new design, but this car evolves way to quick, just my opinion
This still have more power over the si they went down of power smh
Shifting, his arm beats against bolster 👎🏼
Okay w
It's funny how slow cars continue to put manual. Lol. You know what that mean? Manual belongs to slow cars. Lol.
Not a fan of the Origami design language.
Ok ok
Man the rear end is horrible
it is the weakest angle of the car for sure, and thats coming from an owner
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to me this thing is just weird looking. The nose looks like a modernized, angular Ghibli, and it ain’t pretty. I feel like this era of cars is pretty weak in the looks department. Particularly the cars from Asia seem to be looking too complex with the opposite of a “less is more” design philosophy. I really wish they would look to their past to inform their future, like the Honda E, and Nissan Z do. Why is Porsche the only car company not afraid to do rounded headlights?
Yet it attracted you to come watch it!
@@buildmorefarms1007 wrong, I watch all Matt’s videos. I do like the fact that Hyundai is trying to inject some sportiness into their cars and I like the Veloster N design and I own a Japanese car so I’m not just a hater. I just don’t think this is a very good looking car.
@@micahgunnell The look has grown on me, I love them!
More prefer to wait Honda Civic Si 2022
Which will cost $5K more.
Which will make its resale value better
@@LearnAboutFlow So? Still getting that Civic I don’t care.
@@edumacted Good for you! Enjoy the $5K dealer markup. Current Civics are rarer than hen's teeth.
@@cherokeefit4248 you don't buy a Hyundai or Genesis for resale value.
id rather walk
Yet here you are watching the review!
ummm where is the damn N???
Doesn't come until later in the fall and in winter time
@@christianmbabazi9722 thats the only one I care about.
Review coming late next month!
@@MattMaranMotoring nice!!!! I have high hopes
Imagine being this beta's wife lmao
Those wheels are fuckin terrible. Lol. This whole car is yucky honestly.
I appreciate what Hyundai is tryna do. But this looks like one of those offbrand turbo PlayStation2 controllers as a car.
All of these manufacturers need to take design cues from their own history. Hyundai only recently became a brand that can be considered good and reliable, so maybe they should take cues from Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru and Toyota. This shit is ugly and looks like an insect, but in all of the worst ways.
Yet it attracted you to watch it! LOL
I never understood why Hyundai is so shy in putting a LSD into their cars. Only N cars have it while others would also benefit from it.
To save a buck.
7 second 0 to 60 = fail
Then buy a Tesla plaid if you want a fast 0-60... But it will cost you just as equally.
@@dnegel9546 nah I will take any car with 5 second 0to60 or better .... 7 is unacceptable
